About Drew
The year was 1983. I was born on a Thursday morning. Three days later, on Sunday, I was in the nursery at church. As I grew up, I hardly ever missing a Sunday. I’ve done my best to be a good kid. By the grace of God, I’ve never done drugs and I’ve never tasted alcohol. But I’ve still messed up.

I was on a quest in the ministry. I was called to be a pastor. I had a burden for lost souls. I wanted to have compassion as Christ did. I followed the rules, I dotted the “i”s. Following a slippery slope of legalism; I became a slave to the modern church. It was my fault. After a couple of years of ministry, I realized that I needed to be free from the bondage of religion (which I had believed set me free) because there was nothing I could do to earn the love of God. When I began to follow the true voice of God, a course of events spun into motion that literally brought hell to my front door.

That year I saw the ugly in people, and have realized first hand the capacity that we as humans have for evil. I’ve also learned many lessons. I’ve learned to forgive. After that, I had to learn to forgive again. I’m currently learning to pray for those who use Christ as a means to gain wealth and their position to control people via manipulation and practiced smiles. As you can tell, I’m still learning to forgive.

I have a lot of observations about church and our culture. I don’t know all the answers, but I do know that the Bride of Christ should not loose the battle for lost souls. I know that the church must storm the gates of hell; Jesus said they would not prevail. I’m asking the question, “are the majority of the churches in this blessed country storming the gates of hell?” This blog is my thoughts on that. What I think, pray for, and do in response to being the church God has called us to be.
