Hi there…
If you’re like me, you’ve agonized at times with the question…
“What does God want me to do?”
or…
“What is the right direction to go in my life?”
or even…
“Does God even know I exist?”
You may have even wanted something as simple as Jesus personally walking into your room like He did with the disciples after His resurrection to tell you He loves you. Or maybe an enormous arrow pointing in a direction with the words written, “‘This is the direction I want you to go.’ - God.”
What is God speaking to you?
Since I was a teenager, I began asking people one simple question. I don’t know how I came up with it. It wasn’t like some pastor or leader put me up to it. It just flowed out of my heart because I wanted to provoke my friends around me to be passionately on fire for Jesus Christ. The one simple question I ask is…
“What is God speaking to you about?”
More often than you’d think, the answer is the same. After a minute of looking around, many can’t answer the question.
The reality is, many Christians don’t know for sure what God is saying to them. Many try to give some good “Christian” answers that sound really spiritual. Oftentimes, these answers start out by talking about their pastor or their church. But in reality, they don’t know for sure what God is speaking personally to them.
Here’s a news flash for you….that’s not how God designed Christianity. He didn’t design it to be a “relationship” where no one knows what He is saying.
He wants you to hear His voice and know what He’s saying…
…to you…
…personally.
The fact that you are reading this means you are someone who desires to answer the question I ask people. You want to know God for real. You desire to have a better relationship with Him. And you want to know what He is saying to you. You want to hear His voice.
That’s good because it’s Basic Relationships 101. Two people communicating. Conversing. Unfortunately, many Christians don’t see it that way. Nor do they experience it.
Here’s the good news for you…
A relationship with Jesus isn’t supposed to be complicated.
Over time, we made it so complicated to serve Jesus and live for Him. Every Sunday, we hear from the pulpit, “Christianity is a relationship with God.” But the sad fact is for most Christians, it isn’t a relationship. It’s just not.
A relationship with God isn’t praying a 30 second prayer once a week in church. Just like talking with your spouse once a week by morse code isn’t a relationship.
A relationship is more. A whole lot more.
That’s why when you go into a book store, there are whole sections of books on relationships, communication, intimacy, marriage, children and more. Relationship books are published in the thousands. Some of the biggest blockbuster movies… are romance movies. Whole genres of movies and books were created because we inherently want more than a once weekly 5 minute cold conversation about the weather.
You and I were created for relationship with another person. In fact, we were created for relationship with The Person. Yes, in this case, I’m talking about God.
And whether you realize it or not…
… God is a real Person.
He is not a Star Wars-like force.
The truth is lots of people don’t know how to have a relationship with God. Few know how to hear God’s voice. And even fewer actually hear Him and follow what He says.
That’s why I’m here. I’m here to help you rev-up a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ and begin to experience the realities of the spirit realm.
I’m here to remove all the complicated mumbo-jumbo of decades of Christian-ism and make relationship with Jesus Christ simple again.
A relationship you can live every day and enjoy.
As God intended it.

The Encounter that rocked my world
Hi, my name is Eric.
When I was 15 years old, I had an encounter with God that shook my world to the very foundation. I encountered a love so enthralling, so deep and consuming…
… nothing else mattered.
I got home and I didn’t care about watching TV anymore. I threw away all my secular music. My youth pastor didn’t tell me to do those things. It came from my desperation for Him in my heart. I only wanted Jesus. I burned for His presence and His voice.
After growing up, the fire didn’t dwindle. I craved Him even more. Instead of TV and movies, I prayed and worshipped.
For years, I literally carried my Bible with me wherever I went. When I had time to spare, instead of swiping through Facebook, I devoured the Word of God. Through that passionate, intense, diligent searching and crying out to God…
… He taught me.
He spoke to me.
He showed me in dreams and visions.
His presence flooded my house and overwhelmed people when they came to visit. People were healed simply by being in my house. Others received words of encouragement and exhortation, exactly what they needed by the Spirit of God.
From that day until this, I am consumed with the passion for His presence and His voice. And I want to help you encounter this same relationship with Jesus that I encountered.
Here’s a quick rundown of me…
I am a…
Husband
Father of 5
Pastor and missionary living in Peru (at the moment)
Coffee drinker
Freelance copywriter (Mad Men-like advertising writer of emails and newsletters!)
I decided years ago that I wanted all of Jesus Christ I could get. I wanted to know Him the best I could.
Now, after years of digging, prayer, experiences with Him and over 6000 pages of handwritten notes (and thousands more digital)…
… it’s time for me to help you.
The Jesus Letter is designed to encourage you in your faith in Jesus Christ. To really walk with Him like the disciples and apostles did. To open up the doorway for you to hear His voice like He wants. And to unlock the hidden realities of the spiritual world so you can move forward with Him and be effective for His kingdom.
See you in your inbox…
Blessings.
Eric
