Do you understand what you’re reading?
People Make the Journey
Great story from centuries past… A guy named Phillip met an Ethiopian government official as he was journeying. The man had been on a trip and was returning to Ethiopia, where he was minister in charge of all the finances of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians.
He was riding in a chariot and reading the prophet Isaiah (think of it as the Old Testament in our modern-day Bible). Running up alongside, Philip heard the eunuch reading and asked, “Do you understand what you’re reading?” He answered, “How can I without some help?” and invited Philip into the chariot with him…
I’ve found myself in that situation often, and I bet you have as well! That’s why I created this blog. Let’s wrestle the scriptures together. It is an adventure that you don’t want to miss.
Reader Experience
For over a decade, hundreds of people have joined me to take a deeper dive into the best-selling book of ALL TIME–the Bible. Guinness World Records estimates that over 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold and distributed worldwide, making it the most widely sold book in history.
2025 = NEXT Level
According to the Washington Times (12/8/2024), multiple news outlets reported that Bible sales for 2024 in the United States have soared by 22% through October compared with the same period in 2023… Approximately 13.7 million Bibles have been sold in the first 10 months of 2024, compared with 14.2 million for the entire previous year.
The increase seems to be disproportionate among Generation Z and, more specifically, among young men. The American Bible Society reports a renewed interest in biblical faith, with 44% of Gen Z adults saying they are curious about Jesus and the Bible and 21% saying they have increased their use of Scripture in the last year.
Light Roast, BUT…
I am a light roast guy, but there are LOTS of other options. It’s just like the Bible… I recommend www.BibleGateway.com

God is your biggest Fan, and I’m a close second. We have one thing in common… we both KNOW you were created for a time such as this. It’s likely you are a little curious about God’s nature… His works… His ways. I can help!

Skills
I have a variety of skills, but I created a blog because my passion is to meet you where you are on your faith journey. My niche is being real, so that you can feel comfortable asking questions, making comments, and thinking differently.
