I was born and raised in a small town in Ohio. I grew up atteding public school for a short time, until i transitioned to a small private school. Throughout my life, my personal faith was quite lacking. My family never attended church, and I personally disliked school. I was bullied and really just an outcast. All the same, at home, I was abused, and my parents never gave me the support I needed. Even as I entered college, my life had no sense of purpose or direction. College brought me closer to God, but i still pushed and developed habits that still haunt me today. Yet, God led me find the worth in myself and to seek to grow. After, my time in college, I found an opportunity to become a youth pastor, yet. in hindsight, lakced the qualifications to do so. In this span, I became a liscesned pastor and began pursuing my MDIV. However, I made the mistake of leaving my job and pursuing an opportunity i was not ready for. Now I am back in Ohio, struggling as a Pastor, trying to find the path God has laid out for me. This blog seeks to share that journey with anyone who might read.
