Something completely different for you guys today...

A little back story first...

I became a Christian about 5 years ago, just before my wife and I got married. I was always a spiritual dude, but when the Lord called me...I obeyed :)

And I struggled with my faith....Big time!

Mostly because I had ideas of what it meant to be a follower of Christ, but I was so wrong...Regardless of my ignorance, I dove into studying the bible, watching sermons, you name it...Still, something was missing and I couldn't put my finger on it.

Fast forward to April of 2019 and [I discovered **Arise Online**](https://arise.online/) - A 12 month online course that took it's students from the beginning to the end of the bible, literally verse by verse. The goal of this program was to turn it's students into disciples and well...Be better Christians.

This was the first time in....Oh 20 years let's say...**I went to 'school'.**

On Sunday night, I finished the last part of the course!

And today I got this in my inbox....

![102389581_10222774626737086_2186256699808589122_n.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jongolson/hUIH78oI-102389581_10222774626737086_2186256699808589122_n.jpg)

Yeah, I printed out my certificate and ran to the nearest store to buy a frame for it LOL

I can't explain to you guys how excited I am to get this piece of paper.  It was an intense course that really challenged me to get through it all.

So much information....

And yeah, it was a 12 month course....It took me 14 months LOL

But what an experience!

#### Does this mean Jongo becomes...Pastor Jongo?
<p>
LOL Nah....Who knows what's in store but for now, I just wanted to get closer to God and learn as much as I could. And I'm still learning every day :)

I don't really speak about my faith much on HIVE, mostly because never wanna make you guys feel like I'm 'pushing' anything on ya'. Religion and faith is a personal walk...And while the great commission tells us to go out and spread the gospel, I believe God uses our strengths to do that in our own unique ways!

Pushing beliefs on anyone isn't my cup of tea...In fact I think the best way to attract people to do just that...Attract. **Pull, don't push...**

Wow, kinda the same ways I think about how business should be done too :) *Fancy that!*

Anyways, nothing too long or drawn out...I'm just a happy dude today!

And if any of you would ever wanna discuss the bible, faith, Jesus...Drop me a line. I'd love to talk and discuss.

I don't know it all, I'm still learning but today I feel a little closer to my Creator.

Congratulations Jon!
Even though I don't follow any specific religion, as in I'm not baptized because my parents gave me the freedom of choice, I do believe in some kind of faith, I know there's something out there but I guess I still don't know what. But one thing is certain, there is no "the right God" and each of them have the same goal: spread love and faith to one another! I think everyone who wants to follow that path should take a course like you did so they can really read the books and what they teach! This is powerful if used wisely and most are abusing this kind of power in my opinion.
Hope I didn't offend, politics and religion are always tricky and normally I don't step on them, just wanted to show my respect and I'm proud of you :)

Not offended at all :)

Just because my faith is my truth, I have no right to force it down anyone's throat.

I was never forced to Jesus, and I don't think anyone should be.

Congratulations Jon for sticking with it. Most people of faith  do not push their religion on others, at least that is the way I was brought up. Faith is a personal journey for everyone of faith.

Yeah, I think when you focus on the relationships...That will attract people. Pushing anything down anyone's throat isn't the way.

That’s awesome Jon. And actions speak louder than words. The way you approach business certainly has a different flavor than most.  I’m hoping to start a similar course like you did in September, run by my own church.

Congratulations Jon!! What a great achievement!

I do agree with you about not pushing your beliefs on anyone. As you say, we are called to be witnesses, but I believe you can be a witness without saying a word.

Don't tell me what you believe, show me what you *do* and I'll tell you what you believe. When people start asking questions, you just tell them the truth, nothing more, nothing less.

Well done and God bless you!

Thank you sir and yup...Exactly. And sadly, a lot of people claiming Christ in today's day and age aren't following that model...He's the example. That's what will attract people.

Congratulations Jon , achieving a spiritual goal is a fantastic step

I have always believed that any spiritual relationship is always a personal journey between the individual and their belief, regardless of any pre conceived ideas.

Your journey's value is in what you value in your journey :)

Congrats!

On my own study, I made it to the beginning of Judges, then put the Bible down for a break, and never went back to it.  You put in a lot of reading and thinking.

it was interesting, but I was using a Jewish Study Bible, small print, transparent pages, and my eyes couldn't take it any more.  It's still on the to-do list, but I have so much to read and write now, I doubt I'll get back to it soon.

Woow..praise the lord Pastor Jon...Anyway, Congratulations bro. I am glad you secured that certificate. This is indeed the best investment that I would recommend every believer to make. 

You are right salvation is an individual affair. We are walking bibles. The lost people in the world read our lives and get to know the truth. How will they know unless someone preaches to them?
I believe It's also important to begin a conversation with someone about Jesus but in a lovely and gracious way. 


I am so glad to know that you are a Christian. God bless you so much! Keep the fire burning.

Thanks so much...Love that thought, we are walking bibles and what we say, do and live is a reflection of Christ.  That's a fantastic conversation and something I feel would attract so many!
