About Zach

I was raised by my loving parents in a home that was surrounded by Christ. We were weekly church attenders and partially involved in serving. I never really understood the divine ability that the Father holds when I was younger, so I just set it off to the side and didn’t think too much about it. That eventually lead me down a path where I was focused on pleasing myself instead of glorifying God in my life every day. In 2021 my uncle contracted COVID-19 and unfortunately passed away from it. That lead me to lots of addictions and just the crowd of wrong people. I was continuously sinning and not seeing any remorse for what I was doing. Hebrews 10: 26 says – “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remained no more sacrifice for sins.” I had all the knowledge of the gospel and had ideas of what and who God was but I constantly pushed it away. That verse shows me that after not seeing any remorse for the sins that I was consistently committing, the sacrifice that Jesus made no longer was applicable to me. If I were to have never repented and fully put myself into the body of Christ, my sin could’ve kept me away from the kingdom of and all the joy it would’ve provided me.

In February of 2023 my mother signed me up to come attend Pursuit camp. I had resentment to come do this camp because I didn’t want to be around believers. During the first day I was having fun doing all the games and such but the second that it came to sit down and be adherent to the gospel, I didn’t want to hear it. So I fell asleep through the entire message, but at the end of it all when Rich Andrews got on stage and preached the gospel, the Holy Spirit filled me and awakened me and I was all eyes and ears. I gave my life to Jesus right there in that moment. I still had this feeling of hate in my heart for God after he took my uncle from me at such a young age. For a while I struggled with my walk and the consistency of getting into the word daily. Romans 8:28 says – “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” This verse means so much to me because it shows me that through all the good and the bad seasons of your life, God will use you for His glory. He is such a gracious Father and doesn’t depart from you when you depart from Him.

Since February I can confidently say that I am no longer a slave to any addictions and no longer constantly angry at myself for sinning. I was baptized and reborn with Christ on May 21, 2023. I realize that when I sin that God is so gracious that he will forgive all I have to do is ask. Even when He forgives me it is still mt job to work on being a better Christian and work on limiting my sin daily. When I become fearful of myself, I can remember 1 Peter 5:7 which says: “Cast all your anxieties on the Lord, for he cares for you.” This verse teaches me to surrender my everything to God and trust in His plan for my life because it will always be better than my plan!

Psalm 56:3 - "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you."
