I just finished reading 1 Corinthians. I didn’t know what to expect, but found myself getting really drawn in, the further along I read. Paul was a radical guy. He was seriously dedicated to his calling. He had some BIG faith! Paul originally HATED Christians (even killed them!), but after accepting Christ, he spread the Gospel more than anyone (what a turn-around!). Once he changed his life, Paul had one goal and one goal only, [...]

This was given to my wife and I on the day of our Baptism. It was a letter from an unknown African Pastor (at least that’s what it said). It’s a fantastically written account of their Commitment to Christ. “I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I’m a disciple of His. I won’t [...]

Even though I lived most of my life with worry, one day, I finally gave up. And when I say “gave up,” I don’t mean it in the literal sense. I mean, I gave my worry up to God. Since my walk began, and more specifically, when I gave myself wholeheartedly to God, I went from falling victim to worry, to having hardly any worry at all. By giving Him 100% of myself, I begin [...]

Sometimes I think to myself, “people must think I’m crazy”. But beyond an irrational explanation for such an intense feeling, I really can’t explain it better than – “it’s just the way I’m feeling it.” I have tried to get the words right in my head before making this post over the last few days, but I really can’t seem to get it right. So, I’m doing it anyway. Now if this is your first [...]

Today was kind of a tough day. Not necessarily because anything really bad happened, but because I was busy. Yup, I was busy. Busy with stuff, work, work, and more work. I let all the regular day distractions keep me from spending the time I now need in my new relationship with God. I’ve been so focused lately on that relationship being my priority, that just one “off” day really throws me for a loop. [...]

Yesterday I heard someone say they think there’s a difference between calling yourself a Christian or a Believer. Their point (I believe) was that anyone can call themselves a Christian but it’s more “REAL” to call yourself Believer if you’ve “got faith”. I found that thought interesting. In many ways I totally agree. The term Christian gets thrown around so much it’s unfortunately become a simple label which doesn’t always have the best example coming [...]

So here it is… our Baptism videos. Both my story and Samantha’s story, otherwise known as our story. Jason and Samantha Davenport Baptisms from buckheadchurch on Vimeo.

Yesterday was kind of an odd day for me. It was one of the first days in a long time where I started to feel myself slip back to the “old me” with stress and insecurity and self concern coming to the surface. Luckily I told my wife. She then proceeded to rally the kids together and gave me a big cheer. Yup, a real genuine cheer with pom-pom’s and all – and no, she [...]

Define what Church means to you. An old friend of mine (Matt from Lakeland FL) who I’ve recently reconnected with posted this comment on FB. I thought the question was pretty thought provoking, but I honestly didn’t have to think on it much. Church is pretty real to me right now. I admit a year ago or so it was like torture just hearing the word “Church”. I think I found something that really fits [...]

I’ve been focusing so much on God that I’ve definitely begun to lose my ego. I’m humble and peaceful. It’s pretty incredible really and something I’ve never experienced before. My trust in Him is giving me these abilities that I never thought were possible. So I was on a plane from Atlanta to Boston earlier this week. I was reading a fantastic book by Mike Yaconell. He called himself a Kmart Minister. That alone gives [...]

I’m Jason Davenport. I was one of those people who thought they had it all figured out. Someone who thought science and undeniable proof was the bridge to logic and understanding in this world. I wasn’t raised in a Church, nor to necessarily follow God. I was definitely one of those doubters you run into form time to time. Really the whole topic just made me kinda laugh. I thought the world was about stuff, [...]
