I’m still studying the book of Mathew. It’s pretty awesome to read so much straight from the mouth of Jesus. One of my favorite things is when He says -”I tell you the truth…”. I love it when He starts out a sentence saying that. The more I read through the book of Mathew, the more I can really picture Him saying this to His disciples. He’s basically looking at them straight in the eye [...]

Last week was tough. I failed pretty bad, even after all my talk of “giving it up” to God. But hey, I never said it’d be easy! I was coasting through a busy week, when “work” came up and kicked me in the butt. See, “work” decided he’d had enough of me not worrying about him. “Work” figured he’d find a way around the worry thing, and try to hit me with what I fear most…loss [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Yesterday morning (Sunday July 25, 2010), my wife and I got Baptized. Samantha and I were nervously excited to say the least. It was like our wedding day, but different. It was that kind of feeling you get when you are about to embark on something so huge, so extra large, that it was hard to imagine really. We had a number of friends who were pumped to watch which only added to the celebration. [...]

So a lots been going on lately. I know these posts have dates, but they aren’t really accurate necessarily. They merely represent when I got this website up! Anyway, after becoming a believer, I knew there was a bigger step. My wife Samantha really wanted us both to get Baptized at our church (Buckhead Church). I admit when she first told me about a few months ago, I was still young in my belief and [...]

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, [...]
