share your story


Share your story. Not someone else’s story but the one that God has built and given to you.

1 Peter 3:15  NKJV
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

I have had the honor of being at some local schools and at several events this week in our community where Rich Garza, who formerly played professional football, shared his story and faith.  He talked a lot while in schools about the choices we make and the voices we listen to.

Many students have responded about choices they are thinking about and have made.  It is incredible to see how God will use our story to encourage others to follow Him.

Your story is powerful.  If you know Jesus, have made Him your savior, then you have a story to share.  Simply tell what God has done for you when you get a chance.  You don’t have to be a preacher or have gone through a class. The experiences in your life will lead to conversations.  And those conversations often allow us to talk about our faith.

So, share your story.  Use what you have to bless other people, the people around you.  I have said that many times in the lines of these devotions, but it remains true.  God has given you resources to help others with.  Your story is just one of those.  

Share your story!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
