Practical Faith
In all the world, there is nothing, there is no one, more captivating to me than Jesus.
My faith in Christ is central to everything I am. He is the motivation and inspiration behind all that I am and all that I do – and while I am far from perfect – He has taken this imperfect life of mine and made it into something more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.
It is an undeserved gift I will never stop thanking Him for.
I believe that a large part of my purpose as a writer is to help people connect with God and this bleeds through almost everything you’ll find on this site. I hope that by sharing my faith journey with you post-by-post, it inspires you wherever you are on yours.
