Why I Love Jesus
Even though I was raised to be a Christian, I didn’t fully surrender my life to Jesus until 2006. After a really bad season of essentially hating God, I was led to be baptized in the Holy Spirit which catalyzed a transformational season of prayer and repentance. I truly understood the sacrifice that was made for my life and the new life Jesus was calling me to live in. It was a pivotal moment that shifted my entire life right before I went to college.
After doing college for 9 years, however, I burned out hard and really questioned my faith. Learning about ancient cultures really challenged my belief and it drove me to search even harder for the answers. But those answers were not just theoretical. They were the practical answers found in the words of Jesus. This is why I’m passionate about helping others grow closer to Jesus in practical and unique ways. Knowledge is great but means nothing if we never put it into practice. Jesus challenged us to get back to the old ways of loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
