Welcome! My name is Cole, and I am a Christian, a husband, a father, a pastor, a writer, amateur classicist, and a very amateur baker. As both a Christian and a pastor, my passion is to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ through the study and declaration of the Bible, the infallible Word of God.
