I live in Dallas, Texas and began attending Dallas Theological Seminary in August 2008. I’m happily married to my wife, Alex, who started attending DTS in August 2009.

This blog is a four year plus journey. An exploration of what changes will occur during my time at seminary. I believe in these seven essentials of Christianity and these core beliefs will be upheld in anything and everything I write on this blog:

  1. The Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Spirit existing eternally as one)
  2. The full deity and humanity Christ
  3. The spiritual depravity of mankind
  4. The substitutionary atonement and bodily resurrection of Christ
  5. Salvation by faith alone in Christ alone (sola fide)
  6. The physical return of Christ
  7. The authority and inerrancy of Scripture

Paradidomi is Greek for surrender. To yield. To put in prison. This blog is dedicated to the pursuit of that word through His Word.
