About

The year was 1987. I entered the world around 5AM—no computers, no smartphones, no blogs.

For a while, life was all nature, bikes, and LEGOs. And Jesus—He was always cool. It was a pretty rad time to be a kid.

I grew up in the church, attending private Christian schools through middle and high school. In college, I got involved with Campus Crusade. Looking back, I’d say I had a decent faith foundation, but I wasn’t exactly on fire. I believed, but I wasn’t growing—not like I am now.

Then came 2012. Life was good on the surface. I was in love, and I’d just landed a big promotion. And then, like life often does, it changed. My girlfriend and I broke up. Cue the confusion, the questions, the ache that comes with heartbreak. Whether it’s the end of a relationship or a lost friendship, it’s never easy. Everyone reacts differently—but for me, the quiet ember of my faith was still there, just enough to reach out. And in that reaching, I felt Jesus grab hold of my heart and whisper:

“You’ve been coasting on yesterday’s faith. You’re stuck. You’ve messed up. But I still want you—your heart, fully. I’ve got more for you. Adventures. Stories. Purpose. I won’t reveal it all at once—it would scare you. But as you seek Me, you’ll see. Grace, son. It’s yours.”

That realization didn’t come instantly. It took brokenness, questions, and a lot of late-night wondering: What am I even doing?

2013 was a year of transformation. I grew—a lot. Spiritually, emotionally, relationally. I stumbled, learned, said “yes” to a lot of things: to God, to people, to growth. I dated (too much), made mistakes, met people who challenged me. And in all of it, I came to know God in a deeper, more personal way.

That year changed me—and it changed how I wrote. Though I’ve been blogging since 2005, it wasn’t until 2013 that I began writing about spiritual things from a place of personal experience.

So, who am I?

I’m a 20-30-something Christian guy who’s lived just enough life to learn a few things. I have a heart for encouraging others through whatever they’re walking through—without judgment, but with honesty. I’m still young. I don’t have it all figured out. But I’m learning and growing every day. And what I do learn, I want to share.

I believe in Christianity the way I believe the sun has risen: not just because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else.

Why this blog?

Because I’ve been there—scrolling through a blog, reading a post, and suddenly, something clicks. A light bulb turns on. My perspective shifts, or my convictions are reaffirmed. If I can help even one person experience that here, it’s worth it.

I’m always growing in my walk with Jesus. That means some things I’ve written in the past might not perfectly reflect where I’m at now. My understanding is evolving. Still, I leave those words as they are—breadcrumbs on my journey. If you ever disagree, or if something sparks a thought, please don’t hesitate to share. I’m here to learn, too.
