What this and I am about.

Okay, I'm going to write a blog. This is a little out of my norm, mainly because I am more comfortable with videos. My name is Alex Gebert, I am a youth pastor at Easley First Wesleyan Church, I have a YouTube channel that I will mention later on, and I'm in my last semester at Southern Wesleyan University. I have a wonderful wife that puts up for me and my shenanigans for some unknown reason and that I love so very much. But enough about me, lets talk about the Blog!

Life Together is going to grow and change as I write it and I hope that you, the reader, will grow and change as you read it. Basically, this blog is going to be about a few different topics; the first will be Christianity, the second is going to be about my life and the interesting things that happen to me, and there will probably be more topics as things pop into my head. Everyone that reads is free to comment, in fact I would love for you to comment and give me ideas! If you have any questions about anything at all, please ask.

So let's get started! The reason that I was inspired to start a blog is Mark Wilson, the author of Purple Fish. If you haven't read that book yet, GO READ IT. I read Purple Fish and I was inspired to reach people for Christ any way that I can. I actually had the chance to talk to Mark Wilson about it and he encouraged me to start this blog. Purple Fish is a practical and inspiring book about telling people about Christ. Evangelism, is something that we need to be intentional about, and it is something that most people think will just happen. For example; let's say that someone offers you a beer and you turn it down. No one is going to come up to you and ask you how Christ has affected your life, why you live for Him, and if they can do it too! Things like that simply don't happen! You have to go out and tell people about Jesus, no one knows why you are doing something unless you tell them.

Just as a quick throw-in, my YouTube Channel is this. I teach about theology because I want people to know as much as they can about their faith. Spiritual growth is interlocked with intellectual growth, nobody wants a bunch of ignorant Christians walking around.
