More DescriptionI was raised in church and have spent my entire adult life as a minister in local churches, but I began to realize that many people were becoming unsatisfied or uninterested in church. Many were aggressively antagonistic to church, but not to Jesus. I noticed that while many people had bad experiences with religion, I had not heard of anyone claiming to have had a bad experience with God Himself. My own experience with religion had not been without bumps and bruises. In fact, some of them caused me to question my own path. These experiences created questions that needed answers, like: What is the Gospel according to Jesus? How did He live and interact with His culture? Why were people drawn to Him, but not His followers or the religious leaders of the day? These are the questions that led me to read the Gospels again with fresh eyes. What I found there would forever change my life with God, the Church and the World.
