Hopefully, you have been thinking about who shared the faith with you over the last week. Palm Sunday was yesterday which means we are entering into Holy Week. Someone shared with us at some time or we probably wouldn’t be reading this blog, now we owe it to others around us to share the Gospel with them.

As I mentioned last time, I have been blessed with many people in my life at critical times. Going off to college–when so many people forget about the faith of their youth–I had people come along side me to continue to push me to grow. My freshman year it was my brother Matt, who pushed me to still attend church despite not having Mom to “make me” go. Then, when I transferred to Bradley the next year, I got in a Bible study with Tim Burdette, Mark Krupa, and Dick Belsley. It was the first time I really was in a true Bible study.

When I started my first teaching job at Tremont, I was a pretty young and impressionable guy. I found myself being drawn to a couple of teachers down the hall from me that liked to talk about Jesus named Bill Allison and Jason Leahy. They actually invited me to a breakfast group that read and discussed books like, “The Leadership Genius of Jesus”. So, here I was a 24-year-old married young man who was studying about Jesus with a group of guys before work!

What if everyone when they were ages 18-24 received the type of spiritual mentors that I did? This is such an important age for so many as they wade through the college years and enter the workplace-what if all of these people had a messenger of Christ with them to help them along the way. Isn’t that what Jesus did for the two men on their way to Emmaus? What would this do to the Church in this country? All the people I talked about in this blog made a decision that they would live for Jesus and take others along with them. Who are we taking the journey with? Pray that God would show you who you could journey with this week as we prepare for Easter Sunday.

More to come…
