I’ve been a Christ follower since I was 13 years old. My passion is helping believers discover what it means to become a disciple of Jesus. This blog shares my story of becoming a disciple, along with my thoughts regarding discipleship.
While I understand that many people love to debate all aspects of the Christian faith, this blog is not intended for such a debate. Rather, it aims to inspire, challenge, and hold Christ-followers accountable to becoming a disciple of Jesus. While I can’t promise to have all the answers, I do promise to be truthful regarding both my insights and short-comings. I’m absolutely not perfect. However, I have come to realize that nothing is more important than following Jesus every moment of everyday. I will make no apologies regarding that fact.
I will also write about other topics that I find interesting (for me that usually revolve around sports, life, history, and marriage!). I hope to take chances. Being a disciple of Jesus isn’t boring nor should it be just a segment of our life. He should come into our consideration when we are with the guys at the ballgame, drinking a glass (or two!) of wine with our wives, and every waking second on the job! Therefore I pray that this blog is refreshing in that it is entirely honest. I don’t want to be a pretender. I am a sinner who is trying to figure out how to live with Jesus in this world. I sometimes overvalue success, money, good looks, etc. I constantly need grace. But I believe there is ample reason and proof to trust the Bible completely. Jesus is the way.
For those interested, I was born in 1981, currently work in the family plastics business, and am married to my loving wife Sarah, who has a rock-solid faith and is my soul mate. Without her encouragement, I would not write this blog.
Alex- So glad to be among the very first to read your very first blog! Looking forward to many more as you reveal your heart, and God grows your heart! Love, Marly
