Many of us know each other, but for the sake of newbies- hi. I'm in my early 40s, and I've been a follower of Christ for most of my life. I was raised in church, but I found faith as a young teenager, suddenly aware that all my Bible knowledge and church attendance meant jack to a Holy God that I had offended by my inherent sinfulness. I've been married for a good long while, too. We have one daughter (so far). I have been in Christian ministry for many years, but for the last 4 years, I have been a full time Realtor. My last church was one I started in Newton\Brookline, Mass. I am currently the (volunteer) Christian Education Director at Christ Church.
I have 2 Master's degrees in theology\religion, but that does not an expert make. Christianity (as we will see in this group) is meant to be lived out in the marketplace-and worked out in our head, heart, AND hands. No education, pedigree or credentials needed. Jesus is all the "street cred" we need.
