Greetings and blessings to you and your families! My name is Joshua Phillips, and I found solid Biblical training at the Christian Leaders Institute (Learn more about free online Bible courses, Click Here). I live in California in the United States of America. I am a husband and a father of three beautiful children. Currently, I manage a truck repair shop. My family and I are members of a Pentecostal church, but it hasn’t always been this way.
My Spiritual Journey
Growing up, I had exposure to many different views and beliefs. My family was a mixed bag of Protestant, Baptist, Catholic, Pentecostal, Agnostic, and my mother was a Christian Scientist. It was very difficult as a child to understand how everyone believed that they were right in their views on the world. I learned and held onto the belief that there is a God and He loved me. However, I didn’t understand or have a firm foundation for the personal relationship that He wanted to have with me.
I took a long hard road throughout my teenage years and my twenties of drug and alcohol abuse and sinful living. I even had two of my children outside of marriage with the woman who eventually became my wife and the mother of my third child. While living in sin, I can attest that life’s challenges were always magnified. Without a solid foundation, I would cry out for salvation that He would freely give, only to fall back again. It wasn’t until we found our church and dedicated ourselves to Christ as not only our Savior but also our Lord, that we found the true breakthrough. We also found the peace that He offers freely with the Holy Spirit as our guide.
Finding Solid Biblical Training Online at CLI
Over the years, many prophesied that I would be used by the Lord in ministry. The Lord impressed this upon my heart, but I hadn’t taken action. It was from doubt, fear, and the belief that the solid, biblical training needed was outside of my reach. I searched and searched for a way to finally answer God’s calling. In my search, I found the Christian Leaders Institute and am so glad that I did.
Having free ministry training of the highest level while also being able to work around my work schedule so that I am able to continue to support my family, is so important to me and my family. My hope and confidence are that it will be a blessing to you and your families as well. Thank you, Christian Leaders Institute.
