When I was in college Ryan would spend hours with me putting up with me but also loving me, encouraging me and teaching me how to love Jesus and others. I’m so thankful for how my relationship with Ryan has shaped me. It makes me want to love people and disciple others because of it. My goal in life now is to pass that on to other people.
There are several people who I’m discipling and investing in. One guy, Nick, is on church staff with me here in California leading worship. I love Nick, I really believe in him. I want to see him grow, do big things for God’s Kingdom and lead this life of discipleship passing on that which has been invested in me through Ryan and the guys that have discipled Ryan.
I’m so thankful to be a part of this spiritual lineage.
