Hello, I'm new so just dropping a quick post. I'm male, married, 41, and located in NJ. I currently attend Calvary Chapel. I was baptized in 2014 and really started to dedicate my life to Jesus around 2016.
Among other things, I'm hoping to use this forum for the following:
1. Help me advance Bible studies.
2. Help revealing my spiritual gift(s).
3. Discuss callings; others and my own.
I feel called to learn as much as possible about the Bible. Therefore, I'm hoping to attend seminary. But then what? I don't feel that I am called to be a pastor. Perhaps a writer?? (I'm actually a terrible writer but God can do anything, right?)
4. Mentorship. I believe as Christians we should all find someone to mentor and someone to mentor us. So that at any point in our lives, we should be a Paul to someone and a Timothy to someone else. I know I have so much to learn, so I am looking to come under the wing of some mature Christians. However, I also feel that I have some unique life experiences that I can share with others to hopefully build them up in their Christian faith.
There's plenty more that I could say but that's all for now. I'm excited to be part of forum.
