Home - First Faith

Welcome to 1st Faith's home on the web, where we tell stories.

Our Stories

I accepted a new job offer to teach at a high school near where I live--a bittersweet decision because I loved the school where I was and loved my students. Yet I knew God was leading me to make this move

A very familiar voice called me forward one night - I reasoned with God that he was calling the wrong person

After 30 years of what I thought was a strong marriage, my husband left me. I was devastated. My children, family, and friends were as shocked and hurt as I was. And it was their love that sustained me.

My wife and I had just moved to Atlanta so I could begin my first job out of college as an Engineer. She found a job teaching high school math. Life was good. It was time for us to start our life together. A new city to explore. New friends to make.

Our POSTS

Opening my suitcase after checking into a hotel for a speaking engagement, I realized I forgot to pack a dress shirt. I had a couple of casual button-downs, but nothing for the event. Yikes.

For regulars here, you know 1st Faith is where anyone has an opportunity to tell a story of faith. Why? Because one of the strongest ways to build a friend’s faith is through telling our own story.

There’s a story which—at first glance—makes me look at Jesus and say, “What were you thinking?” It’s in Luke’s account (Ch. 8), the story of Jesus healing a demon-possessed man.

“World Changer.” By definition–and I’ve worked hard on this–a world changer is one who . . . changes the world.No applause, please, for my tireless laboring on this topic, at least not yet. The fact is, I’m good at this definition stuff; it just comes naturally.

Welcome to 1st Faith

Stories are powerful because they connect us to each other in a way nothing else can.

At 1st Faith, you’ll find stories of joy, of surprise . . . honest stories from regular people in their journeys of faith.

We hope these stories encourage you whenever you stop by to visit. And if you have a story for us, connect with us. We’d love to share it. It’s great to have you with us; because we’re in this journey together.
