We both began our walks with our Messiah individually and at different times in the much same way as most every Christian you know. We each acknowledged our sin and our need for a Savior. We turned from our sins in repentance and asked Jesus into our hearts.

I made my decision of faith on April 12, 1998. I immediately dug into the Word. I found myself more and more confused over the fact that it seemed like most of the church had explained away much of the Bible in order to make it fit more conveniently into our lives. I say, “our,” because I became as guilty as anyone else. When I asked those in positions of authority over me in the church why it seemed that way, I received various versions of the same answers; “Well, that was then,” or, “That part is for the Jews,” or, “Some things we’re just not meant to understand.” They all meant well and they were all sharing with me the same instruction they were given by other God fearing believers who had preceded them in the faith. I spent the next decade plus loving my Savior very much (in word) and working in various ministries. I failed miserably multiple times, privately and publicly. I wanted to be better. I wanted to be who and what He wanted me to be, but never really put into practice what the Word says; which is crazy, considering it tells each and every one of us precisely how to do and be just that; pleasing to our Father.

On February 29, 2020 (leap year, baby!) a word was spoken over me that was monumental in my spiritual life. I was on stage during a brief break in the music during a worship service. He turned and looked at me and said, “And I’ve got a word for you. HE says that you have been tormented by a restless spirit your entire life and that HE is freeing you from that spirit right now,” pointing at Kayla Sue, “and he’s using her to do it.” It was like a 55 gallon drum of warm honey was dumped over my head (a description I’ve used every single time since that night) and I was broken before my Lord. It’s amazing what our Father can do in our lives with the right help meet.

I made my profession of faith on February 3, 2019. I didn’t come from a very spiritual background. My immediate family had gone to a few different churches but with no real commitment for the most part. This was good and bad in different ways. It was bad because we should all be seeking to honor and worship our Creator through our Savior. We should be raising our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. It was good because I didn’t have much of the denominational and traditional baggage to work through. I had the Word to be my guide.



2020, to much of the world, will live in infamy as one of the most horrific experiences in our lifetimes. For us, it began a spiritual awakening that would change the entire course of our lives, and perhaps, our eternity. We began to seek deeper and deeper into the Word. The pursuit of knowledge concerning our Father, Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob became an increasingly more and more important part of our everyday lives. The more we learned, the more we realized we needed to learn. We began to hunger and thirst after righteousness. More and more we began to question how we could claim to know and love the Creator of the universe without seeking Him in the fullness of His Word and without following His Word fully. If He, our Father, Yahweh, I Am that I Am, had taken the time to write us a love letter, telling us exactly what pleases Him and what displeases Him, how could we not follow and observe it all? That’s what brings us to where we are today. We are still fully dependent on Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus the Messiah) for our salvation. It is only through and by the precious blood of the Lamb of God by which any of us are saved. We follow the Word, from Genesis to Revelation, because we love our Father and, as we all know, actions speak far louder than words. We hope our journey thus far and the journey we continue on in this way will inspire and encourage each and every one of you.
