Welcome!
BE A LIGHT IN A DARK WORLD
While my Revolution of Man blog, podcast, and videos deal with culture and worldview topics, Swimming in the Light explores deeper reflections from scripture, prayer, and personal devotions.
My intent is to recover the fullness of the Christian vision by helping you learn to be a light in a dark world. In a world where so many are drowning in darkness, Swim in the Light.
“Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.” (Proverbs 23:23)

WHY Swimming in the Light?
I chose Swimming in the Light as my theme because I nearly drown twice as a small child. Then, I learned to swim when I was 5 years old. I went on to compete in high school, college, and triathlons. There was a parallel in my spiritual life. I nearly drown in darkness before Christ brought me into His marvelous light of Salvation. My hope is to point others to the light of the world - Christ.
