I am a student at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC, but I live and minister in Chattanooga, TN. God has blessed this broken vessel with the opportunity to serve Him not only in spite of my past failures but through those failures for His glory. You can read more about my journey from “useless” to “useful” in my testimony and through the posts on this blog. Currently I am the Women’s Ministry Coordinator at the Mid-South Office of Harvest USA, a ministry whose purpose is to reach a sexually broken world with the healing Gospel of Jesus Christ. You can learn more about us and the ministry with which God has entrusted us by visiting our website.
I use this blog as a chance to keep up with friends and family spread across the world, as well as to post papers from school, deep thoughts from other people, and some of my own observations about the world around us. I have discovered that writing helps me process my thoughts and keeps me thinking. Hopefully you will find some things here that will get you thinking about the important things in life.
I have a passion to challenge people to view their Christianity not as a portion of their lives, but as the lens through which they should view all aspects of their lives. Our stances on politics, education, culture, family, work, recreation, etc., should all be considered in light of what we believe about Scripture and what that Scripture tells us about the world around us.
I came upon your blog on anger in the church. I won’t say by accident because I don’t believe in them. It touched me deeply. God works in mysterious ways doesn’t he? I never realized that the very church I felt led to may be the mission field in itself. I guess I always considered the people in church with me Christians. This definitely gives me a lot to think about. Thank you. God Bless.
Thank you so much for the encouraging comment! the idea that our churches are a mission field is challenging and convicting. It should remind us that we are to be salt and light no matter where we are. There’s no time off when we are Christ’s ambassadors.
