A follower of Christ and an AI engineer in New York City.
I’m based in New York City. You can find me on LinkedIn if you’d like to know what I do during the week.
I write here to share what God is teaching me through His Word—with the express purpose of preaching the Gospel and making disciples of Christ who feel empowered to read Scripture and enter the fullness of the mysteries of grace revealed in the Lamb who was slain for the sins of the world.
This is not only for professionals at work, though I especially hope busy people will find the peace Christ brings and draw closer to Him even as they carry demanding schedules—so they do not lose sight of the one thing that will endure when all other things pass away. The posts are organized into four places to start: Jesus, The Gospel & Our Lives, Discernment, and Reflections. None of it is a substitute for the Bible. All of it is meant to point you back to it, and to the Christ it reveals.
The shape of the door
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
If you have never given your life to Christ, here is the whole offer in plain language: the gospel is free. The cost was paid by Jesus on the cross. What He asks back is not a religious performance, not a perfected life, not a clean moral record. He asks for what David wrote in the psalm above — a heart that has given up pretending it can carry itself. A broken spirit. A contrite heart. He has never despised one of those, and He will not start with yours.
If you can pray something like this, in your own words, and mean it — “Jesus, I am tired of carrying my own life. I believe You are who You said You are, that You died for me and rose again. Forgive me, take me, teach me to follow You” — then welcome to the family. Tell someone. Find a church where the Word is taught faithfully and the Spirit is welcomed. Get baptized. Read the Gospels — start with John.
If you can’t pray that yet but something here is pulling at you, that’s an honest place to start too. Come and see is what Jesus said to His first disciples; it is still what He says now.
Send me a question. Send me a doubt. Send me the thing you would never say out loud in a religious setting because you are sure it would not be received. It will be.
