ABOUT
Hey, I’m Bobby
A Brief Overview of Me….
First and foremost I am a follower of Christ. However, I have a deep love and understanding for all beliefs and welcome everyone with open and loving arms, regardless of what they believe or where they come from.
Although I am a follower of Jesus, I am in no way a religious person. Religion, to me, is the most divisive and destructive thing that has happened to humanity and I do not in any way follow any specific religion. I believe in my heart that God created us to live in harmony with each other and with him and that rather than separating ourselves into groups and arguing over who is “right” or “wrong”, God wants to see us unite as one and show love to every person.
What I Love To Do….
I love being outside; fly fishing, dirt biking, snowboarding, kayaking, hiking, boating, camping, etc. I also enjoy taking care of my garden.
I am a musician and love playing, writing, recording, etc. I like just about every genre of music, but my main roots are in Rock and Blues.
I dedicate a lot of my life to spiritual and personal growth and work very hard to become the best version of myself. I spend a good amount of time meditating/praying, reading, taking courses, etc. I also work very hard to eat clean and stay active working out and doing high intensity training, mountain biking, yoga, etc.
I am obsessed with creating and discovering new and improved ways to do things. I use this creativity in both my personal and career life and I am always pushing the boundaries of what is currently being done.
I love helping and making a positive impact on the lives of others and on this planet. I am currently working on multiple nonprofits and using my marketing background to spread the love of Christ and to help others find their path to God so they can live the abundant life they were created to enjoy.
About Me
A Quick History Lesson
I was brought up in a Christian home where we went to church most Sundays. As I grew up and started making my own decisions, I began to question a lot of the beliefs that were ingrained in me as a child and began to take a slightly different path than my parents had likely envisioned. I completely stopped going to church throughout college and kind of did my own thing for a while.
After college, something began pulling me back to God and so slowly I started coming back home. However, this time it was much different than before. This time I came with a wide open perspective and I was on a mission to find out who God really was, how so many people could have such different beliefs about who he is, and what my purpose on this planet was. It was only when I came to God with a completely open mind that the truth began to be revealed to me.
Being brought up in church I noticed how many “Christians” that I was supposed to be looking up to were living lives that were completely contradictory to the Bible and how Jesus lived his life here on earth. This, among other things, was one of the reasons I turned away from God. The last thing I wanted was to blindly follow hypocrites who were miserable and showed no love to anyone.
As I came back to God with a wide open mind, he began to take me down a very interesting journey. Next thing I knew I was learning all I could about Buddhism and every other religion out there. I read books, watched videos, took online courses, and did just about everything I could think of to learn where these religions started and how they became what they are today. As I began to open my mind and heart to the beliefs of others, my heart began being flooded with love for every person on the planet, regardless of their belief system.
What I Believe
I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again. I believe that he lived as a perfect example for how we were designed to live, and I believe that if we follow in his footsteps, we will live the most rewarding and fulfilling lives possible on this earth. The Bible is here as a guideline for how to live our lives, and if followed, will give us more peace and joy than we ever thought possible.
There are also amazing teachings in Buddhism as well as a ton of other religious and spiritual practices. I believe that there is something to be learned from everything and when we close our minds to other possibilities, we close our minds to the truth.
God loves us more than we could ever imagine and wants to show us how to live the abundant life he created for us. I know that by devoting our lives to him and finding the path he created for us will ultimately lead to the most rewarding life. So, I have chosen to devote my life to spreading love and the truth that I hold in my heart.
My Mission
As a disciple of Christ, I have chosen to dedicate my life to serving others, to spreading the light and love of Christ, and to living my life as close to the way Jesus lived while he was on this earth. Although I fall short daily, my mission is to continue to develop a heart of love and compassion for all and to continue to fulfill my purpose of making a positive impact on everyone I encounter.
The truth is, there are millions of children who die daily because they do not have access to the proper nutrition, water, etc. Recent studies show that over 75% of people suffer from depression and anxiety. Although this world is filled with an abundance of love, there are also many who are suffering and in darkness. I have the ability to impact the lives of millions while I am here and will do all I can to help as many as I can.
It is only when we have a deep revering love for all of humanity and everything that exists in this world that we can make any sort of an impact for the Kingdom of God. It is my mission to continue to cultivate this love and spread it to every corner of the planet.
My hope is that this blog will inspire you to find the compassion deep within yourself and that you will go out and change the world too! I pray that this blog will have a ripple effect that will help millions on their walk with God and this journey we call life.
