a PERSONAL journey from root-to-fruit
Learn as I learn about the glory of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit – through my questions, insights and experiences (both good and bad). I don’t hold back on honesty and expose myself while learning the truth. Be gentle!!
My foundations in Faith
Honesty
I will always be honest in my testimony, even if I get frowned upon. God does not desire dishonesty. King David wrote poems about his despair and sin (Psalm 51), and Paul spoke openly about his weaknesses – sharing his “root” (struggles) to highlight the “fruit” (God’s work).
Learning
I write these posts not as one who has arrived, but as a disciple leaning daily into the grace of God. The journey from the root of baptism to the fruit of blessing is a process of growth, and I am acutely aware that I am still a “work in progress.” I invite you to walk this path with me – not just as readers, but as spiritual companions. I welcome your wisdom, your prayers, and even your gentle correction in love. As Proverbs says, “Iron sharpens iron,” and I hope that by sharing my walk, we can sharpen one another, learning together how to abide more fully in the True Vine.
Community
I am continually learning, and so doing so, I invite you to be my witness. Help me on my journey where you can through your own wisdom and advice – I am sure I will make mistakes on the way and will stand corrected. I believe in community, we are all Gods children.

Bible:Essence
After reading many different Bible translations, I often found myself confused, despite being well educated. I frequently asked others to explain certain verses, but many of them struggled to understand the passages as well. Because of this, I decided to create a revised version of the Bible that is easier to read, understand, and relate to in today’s world.
I believe the Bible is a deeply personal experience. While guidance from knowledgeable people can be valuable, it is often more beneficial to begin with a clear understanding of the text itself and seek additional help only when needed. With that goal in mind, I have revised the Bible to make its core message more accessible to modern readers. I call this revision Bible:Essence.
