This Changes Everything

When I was 21 years old, a group of Christians challenged me to discredit the claims of Christianity. Having discounted them all my life, growing up in a family of skeptics, I figured this would be easy. I decided the fastest way to do away with the claims of the Christian faith would be to discount the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

However, the more I studied, the more I uncovered overwhelming historical evidence for the existence of Christ and for His resurrection. I found, much to my surprise, that the historical evidence of Jesusʼ resurrection was too consistent, too compelling for me to doubt. I completely lost my “lack of faith”. This historical evidence led me to make a decision to trust Jesus as my Savior. Even more to my surprise, I discovered that I wasnʼt just making an intellectual decision. I was also unleashing in my life the kind of transforming power weʼre all striving to find. Through reading these blogs (and my book), I hope that you too will find the evidence so compelling, that youʼll experience the same power Iʼve discovered.

In my book, “This Changes Everything”, I begin every chapter with the statement, “Because of Jesus and His resurrection, you can…”

This has been my spiritual and personal motivation for everything that defines who I am. If you know anything about my past, you know I wasnʼt always someone who said “I can”. But despite my upbringing, despite my effort to find inconsistencies, and despite my own inner self to tell me “Ray canʼt”, Iʼve discovered that because of Jesus and His resurrection, I can be the person God wants me to be, the husband God wants me to be, the father, the pastor, the friend…

As you read these blog posts, I pray that youʼll experience the same power Iʼve discovered, that because of Jesus and His resurrection, YOU CAN!
