I’ve got a ton of Crazy God Stories that come from the last decade-and-a-half of me living by faith and following Jesus and seeing God show up in crazy amazing ways like He did in the Bible so that my life has become unexplainable apart from God. The God we read about in the Bible is still doing the same things today that He did thousands of years ago. He is still working through the lives of His followers just like He did in the Bible.
I believe God wants everyone to know Him and experience Him the way people in the Bible did, but that’s not happening today. All of the Jesus followers we read about in the New Testament experienced God in different ways and were used by Him to do different things, but ultimately all of what we read about was empowered by the Holy Spirit and was intended to reach the lost with the gospel and to build up the body of Christ. I don’t know exactly what God wants to do in or through the lives of anyone specifically, but I do know that He wants everyone’s life to look like a story out of the Bible.
God has called me to strengthen other believers and to strengthen the church so that people are living by faith and following Jesus and fulfilling tio mission of Christ in the world. When people do that they see God show up in and through their lives like people in the Bible did, and get to walk out His plans and purposes for their lives. Below I write about some of the different ways that God is currently using me to do that and how you can get involved.
If any of the things God is using me to do can help you in your faith journey please let me know! I don’t charge anything or have any fees for anything I do.
Social Media Content
I make short videos where I tell Crazy God Stories about what it looks like to live by faith, and how God shows up in response. In Matthew 6 Jesus said not to do good works for the purpose of having those works seen by others as a way to glorify yourself. Before that, in Matthew 5:16 Jesus, “Let your light shine before men, so they see your good deeds and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.” Stories of faith are a powerful way to do that. As I’ve shared my stories and the stories of others I have heard from countless people that have shared with me how it’s changed the way they live.
I recently received an email from a woman who told me that she is a Christian who never shared her faith with anyone, but after she started watching my videos she began talking to people about Jesus. She goes to counseling, and talked to her counselor about Jesus and she got saved. I don’t share this to be braggadocious, but to illustrate what Jesus was talking about in Matthew 5:16.
I’ve been making content for social media since 2019, and while I’ve gotten much better at it, I’m not the most tech savvy person in the world and I know that there are many things I can do to improve the content I make. I am looking for help with editing videos and creative direction.
I predominantly post on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, but also post occasionally on Youtube. I am always looking for more stories!
Daily Devotional
I write a devotional that I send email out six days a week. Monday is my one day off from doing that. I’ve really been excited at the way that I’ve seen the Holy Spirit guide me as far as what to write each day, and also the response I’ve gotten from the people who receive the devotionals. It really is making an impact in people’s spiritual lives.
Currently I have a spreadsheet set up where I keep a list of all the emails of everyone who is signed up to receive the devotional. Every day I copy and paste the list from my spreadsheet into the BCC address bar in my email. I need help figuring out a more efficient way of organizing and sending out the devotional.
Speaking at Churches
This has been one of my favorite things to do! I have been invited to speak at different churches. Sometimes it’s been for one sunday service in front of a youth group. Sometimes it’s speaking several times over the weekend. One time I preached for 8 days at a revival put on by two different churches. It wasn’t the type of revival we saw at Asbury University a few years ago, It was in depth teaching from God’s Word and a call to respond. Everytime I speak at a church it’s a completely different experience, but I’ve always seen God show up and give me specific messages that are unique to each group that end up being what they need to hear.
If your church or Christian organization is looking for someone to speak at a regular service or at a special event I would love to speak with you about it. I don’t charge a speaking fee or anything like that, but do ask that if able you cover travel expenses, and I travel cheap.
Online Discipleship Class /
Mentorship Program
Starting earlier this year I started teaching online discipleship classes. I run 2 groups simultaneously; one in the morning and one in the evenings. Both groups meet once a week, and then I do one-on-one meetings throughout the week with my students.
This for me has been a huge joy because I’ve been able to walk with people out of nominal Christianity and into vibrant relationships with Jesus.
The classes meet over zoom and we have a WhatsApp group chat. I record the classes and post the videos to youtube and paste a link to the videos on my website. I’m looking for help figuring out how to do what I’m doing better in respect to organization and technical setup.
Book Ministry
In 2021 I published a book called Crazy God Story: Faith Isn’t Blind. The first part of it is my story of when I used to run the nonprofit mechanic company. The second part of the book talks about how to get to a place in your life where living by faith and following Jesus is as natural as breathing. I give away free PDF copies of the book on my website, and also buy hard copies to give away. I get author copies for about $5 apiece.
I’m about to start writing a second book! I’ll need help editing and also will need to have people read various drafts to give me feedback and critique.
Biblical Counsel
I am not a licensed counselor, but God has built me to help people know Him and follow Him through His Word, and it’s something I’ve been to college for. I spend a lot of time answering DM’s and emails from people who are looking for advice and Biblical guidance in their lives. It’s one of my favorite things to do because the Bible gives us God’s wisdom on every aspect of life, and while I’m fallible and can get things wrong I’ve seen the Holy Spirit open up God’s Word to me in order to help others. As a result I’ve seen many people who were on destructive paths that were leading them away from God turn back to God and become reconciled with Him.
The thing I need more than anything else when it comes to this stuff is prayer. I need people praying for me to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
If I can help you in this part of your life please don’t hesitate to ask or to reach out to me.
My Website
I designed my website through weebly.com, and it’s not a very good website. I’ve researched different website building software and programs and other things like weebly, and I need help. I’m great at working on cars and talking about Jesus, but when it comes to building websites I’m out of my element. I’m looking for someone that can help me make my website better.
I also want a better way for people to be able to reach me. Maybe some kind of button that opens a message that goes directly to me or something like that.
Prayer Support!
This is the thing I need more than absolutely anything else. I need people to pray for me and my family and for the work. As I’ve followed Jesus and led others to do the same My family and I have come under constant spiritual attack in a variety of different ways. We need prayer for that stuff, and also wisdom and guidance so that I stay humble and keep doing the things that God wants me to do and don’t get distracted with the things He doesn’t want me doing.
There is power through prayer when we connect with God through it!
Financial Support
God has laid it on my heart to never charge anyone for anything I do so that money is never a hindrance to ministry. For years I never asked anyone for any money at all. But recently He has led me to rely on the body of Christ for my livelihood. The ministry work that God is using me to do is a full time workload, and I just don’t have time to get a regular job to supplement what God has me doing or to support me and my family. I do have some weeks where I put in as little as 20 hours, but most weeks it’s 50ish hours.
I’ve had people tell me that I shouldn’t be asking for money, but both Jesus and Paul said that if a person spends their life working for the gospel they have a right to make a living from it (Matthew 10:9-10, 1 Corinthians 9:4-11, 1 Timothy 5:17-18)
I’m looking for people who are willing to support the work that God is doing through me either with a special gift, or on a regular basis. Not only do I need help paying bills and stuff like that, but I’ve got overhead related to the ministry work that I do.
If you want to support the work there are l;inks at the bottom of this page.
I’d also like to set up a general giving tab so that people can just donate with a credit card instead of having to go through Venmo, CashApp, Paypal or Zelle.
Any Of Your Ideas!
If you have any other ideas or thoughts on how you’d like to get involved with the work that God is doing please let me know; I would love to hear from you! If you have any feedback or suggestions on how I can improve what I am doing or ideas on things I could do that I’m not currently doing I would love to hear your feedback as well. You can reach me via DM on any of my socials or by emailing me at crazygodstory@gmail.com
