The Finest Thought Leaders
My parents raised me in a home where we made church a regular part of our lives and I embraced Jesus at the age of 12. Yet, it took the journey into adulthood for my faith to truly unfold and to sharpen my sense of purpose within my faith.
I always knew I had been called to serve God, but I grappled with the meaning of serving God. Through seeking God and prayer, the answer crystallized for me: I serve God by urging fellow believers to reflect the light of Jesus into their corners of the world. We are not meant to be hidden! We are to live boldly with our lives marked by the vibrant fruits of transformation.
A significant turning point for me happened when I took time for a mission trip with my home-based church to teach Choctaw children about the Fruit of the Spirit. I realized that God had given us this model of what the Christian life should look like.
While I value traditional church, I've found a powerful connection in the close-knit fabric of home-based churches. They offer fertile ground for nurturing a relational and tangible faith, one that blooms in the everyday alongside others.
I possess an unwavering dedication to scripture and strive to be a serious student of the Bible, delving into the original languages and historical contexts to better understand God’s grand mosaic.

"I have known Steve Sanders for many years as a friend. One thing I have known about Steve is his love for the Word of God and his depth of scholarship in his studies. But I never knew of his skill as a storyteller. The reader of this book is in for a double treat: A story that will capture your heart AND the best introduction to the Biblical teaching on the Fruit of the Spirit (specifically the Fruit of Love) that I have ever seen. Reading it, I found myself identifying with the main character. I also found myself being convicted (not condemned) by the truth I was reading. Get ready for a good story – and an encounter with God’s truth."
