Jeremiah 1:5 - Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you...
I have been richly blessed by God to have been born in a Christian home with godly and loving parents and grandparents. For as long as I can remember, they have been running a small non-denominational church. Through this calling, they were properly equipped and wholeheartedly committed to faithfully teaching me God's Word, leading me to receive Christ as my Savior and Lord, and training me to serve in our church. Through this upbringing, I was immensely blessed to receive from the Holy Spirit an incredibly thorough understanding of the Bible and how to live our new life in Christ. I say this not to boast of myself, for this understanding was only possible through the Holy Spirit's revelation and the tremendous sacrifices in time and energy my parents and grandparents dedicated to properly raising me.
Though the majority of my ministry has been in music and supporting my church, God called me at a young age to preach in 2018 through a Spirit-led pastor requesting me to give a message. After a first sermon, the Holy Spirit helped me gain experience by leading me to write shorter messages I call devotionals, which are essay-like writings covering specific Biblical topics. Today, the Spirit now leads and empowers me to write full-length sermons, continue my ministries in music and evangelism, and help my family run our church.
For many years, the Lord has led me to share my devotionals, sermons, and poems with others via email and GroupMe. However, in January 2025, He provided the opportunity to vastly increase the reach of these materials by building this website. For some time, I had wanted to do this and had desired to use the name "God's Thoughts." However, when I went to purchase the domain for this name, it had just been taken. However, this was a divine provision of the Lord's, for He gave me this site's current name, "Thinking with Christ." Honestly, I prefer this name due to its stronger association with our new life in Christ as believers.
Thus, the purpose of this website is to provide easy access to the materials the Lord has and continues to graciously give me to lead the unsaved to salvation, teach believers sound Bible doctrine, and help them in their pursuit of sanctification and a deeper relationship with Christ.
This website's existence was made possible by the immense kindness of my best friend, who showed me how to purchase the domain name and graciously maintains the server that hosts this website.
Doctrinal statement coming soon.
