Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? 2 Cor. 13:5 God calls us to regularly check if our faith is genuine.

Though nothing can compare to the eternal gift we celebrate through Jesus Christ this Easter season, we received another very special gift today—the proof copy of my book, Perfect Vision: How Seeing Through God’s Eyes Truly Gives Us Sight. Seeing it in print for the first time is hard to put into words. My wife…

Yesterday, all files for my book were officially uploaded to Amazon, and the release date is now set. Both the eBook and paperback will be available on April 10, 2026.

Late yesterday I learned that the audiobook version of my memoir has just been completed. I’ve been listening to it chapter by chapter, and the audio version is so good. I just listened again to the portion in the hospital right after my gunshot wound—when my mom was caring for me—and while hearing it, I…

Perhaps the most significant is this: with a stronger foundation in God’s truth and basic biblical principles, I may not have fallen so easily into the deception and abuse that marked my early…
