What this blog is (and isn't) about

I’ve shared before why I created this blog, and if I had to sum it up in one phrase, it would be: to evangelize the nations. But before jumping into future posts, I want to clarify what this blog is—and just as importantly, what it isn’t. Getting clear on its purpose will help set the tone for everything that follows.

Why a blog: the need for connection

I’ve always wanted to create videos, but being in front of a camera isn’t my strength. I started a blog back in 2015, before I knew Jesus personally—only knowing about Him. When the initial excitement faded, I stopped writing. But now, I feel renewed by His call to share my story and tell the world of how good He is.

As I start this new blogging journey, my hope is to create a space for real, authentic connection. And that starts with me being real with you. Over time, I plan to open up more, not just about the lessons I’ve learned, but about the ways I’ve grown through both the highs and the lows. I want to share why I hold the beliefs I do and create an atmosphere where it’s okay to be imperfect. Because none of us have it all figured out—and that’s okay. I don’t have all the answers, and I’m pretty sure I never will. But what matters is that we’re walking this road together.

By sharing my story, I hope you’ll find pieces of your own in it. And in that, I believe we can both grow.

What my blog definitely is: to fulfill the Great Comission

At its heart, this blog is about fulfilling the Great Commission—making disciples of all nations, just as Jesus commanded in Matthew 28. But this blog isn’t just about sharing knowledge—it’s about sharing a life-changing message. It’s about guiding people to a deeper relationship with God and helping them grow in their faith.

What my blog isn't: a social club for theology nerds and those who demand hyper-precise theological explanations

I don’t want to turn this blog into just a collection of theological terms or definitions, nor do I want to be pedantic about semantics and very specific nuances, because I don’t think the conversion of souls works that way. First off, simply agreeing with Christian teachings or understanding them intellectually doesn’t make someone a Christian. It’s much deeper than that.

Conversion isn’t about checking off theological boxes—it’s about a radical transformation of the heart. It’s about realizing the need for change, for grace, and being willing to surrender everything at the foot of the cross. It’s about making a daily choice to follow Jesus—not out of obligation, but because we genuinely desire to be changed from the inside out.

Second of all, as St. Paul said, you can’t have solid food without first having spiritual milk (1 Corinthians 3:2). I pray that this blog caters to as many people as possible in their spiritual walks with the Lord, not just to appease the ones that want to be very specific in theology.

I pray that as you read my stories you can get something out of it and apply it to your faith journey.

What my blog is: reinforcing personal faith testimonies with facts and apologetics

We live in an age where information is more accessible than ever. When I think additional resources could help clarify or support my points, I’ll definitely share them. But the heart of this blog isn’t to be a repository of data—it’s about sharing personal stories.

I truly believe stories have the power to connect in ways that facts and figures can’t. They resonate, they inspire, and they stick with us. It’s not just about knowledge—it’s about sharing experiences that have the potential to challenge and change lives. But, at the end of the day, facts also help convince people in a way that personal feelings can't. This is why I will include them both the best I can.

What this blog is: A beacon of hope of Christian unity and witness

I believe that Jesus founded one Church: the Catholic Church. I long for Christian unity, hoping all believers can come into full communion with the Church. One of my goals with this blog is to clear up some misconceptions about Catholicism, sharing my own journey and experiences along the way. I hope my story resonates with you in some way.

That said, this blog isn’t about trying to convert others. While I firmly believe that living in communion with the Church Jesus founded in 33 AD is the way to live, just like when Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.", I also recognize that God moves in mysterious ways—working through Catholics, non-Catholic Christians, and even non-Christians. What I’m doing here is sharing a witness to the Catholic faith, and if needed, defending it in dialogue or apologetics. Ultimately, I understand that conversion isn’t something I can do on my own; it’s the work of the Holy Spirit.

What this blog isn't: A source of theological debates

To my non-Catholic Christian brothers and sisters: One of the reasons this blog exists is to make sure it’s also accessible to non-Christians who are searching for the true God—the one who loves and cares for them. While we may have theological differences, I believe it’s crucial to put those aside in order to work together to bring the Gospel to the unchurched.

I often find it counterproductive to get caught up in debates—such as those about praying to Mary and the saints—while non-Christians are watching from the sidelines, especially when they don’t even understand the purpose of prayer and who Jesus is. I’m not suggesting these topics aren’t important, because they are. But there’s a time and place for such discussions. When these debates happen, non-Christians may walk away thinking that Christians are simply a divided group who talk about living a good life but fail to actually live it. Our mission is clear: to bring Jesus to all nations, together. With that in mind, I’ll focus on the aspects of Christianity that unite us, not those that divide us, all while continuing to pray for Christian unity.

In short, this blog is about sharing the hope of Jesus, inviting dialogue—not sparking debates.

I hope this post has helped clarify what this blog is about. Thank you for reading, and I pray that this space will be a source of inspiration, growth, and meaningful connection.

May you have a blessed day.
