Episode 1 - Introduction Thrive In The Word: Theology & Life

    • キリスト教

Hello!  Thanks so much for checking out the podcast.  As might be expected, I take this episode to give you a summary of who I am and why this podcast exists.  



*POST-PUBLISHING NOTE* - After receiving some helpful feedback from my wife, I wanted to clarify a few things (briefly :D) regarding my testimony:

A) I believe I was saved at the age of six, in other words, that was when I repented of my sin and put my faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, by God's grace.

B) I sought to be obedient to the Lord from the age of six onward, to the degree that I knew how, yet I was significantly lacking in knowledge of the Lord and his will for my life, largely due to a lack of discipleship and consistent spiritual discipline.  This led to what I would consider to be a small amount of spiritual fruit, yet enough to confirm - to my knowledge (Philippians 2:12) - that my repentance and faith at age six were indeed genuine. 

C) I name the summer of 2016 when I began reading the Word daily, not because I believe that's when Christ is his sovereignty saved me, nor because I believe reading the Bible saves anyone intrinsically, but because that was when Christ began using his Word much more profoundly in my life, giving me a deeper and more consistent desire to live a life obedient to him, free from consistent idolatry, and devoted to knowing him more and making him known.

Any questions, comments, further clarifications, etc. can be directed to thriveinthewordcontact@gmail.com or in person.  :)
