The aim of this blog is to explore issues related to discipleship, the church, the Bible, pastoral ministry, and family life from a Gospel-centered, Kingdom-oriented worldview. Join me as together, by God’s grace, we continue to discover what it means to live a life that has been “shaped by the cross into the shape of the cross.”
Who am I? My name is Jimmy Davis and I love being married to Christine, with whom I share the joy of raising three great kids. I serve as the Associate Pastor for Youth and Discipleship at Metrocrest Presbyterian Church in Carrollton, TX. In over 20 years of ministry I have served as youth and college pastor in various churches, as a regional youth ministry consultant, a church planter, and have taught Bible courses on the high school and college level. I am the Associate Editor of the Worldview Church E-report published by BreakPoint.org, as well as a freelance writer and member of the Christian Writers Guild.
The Cruciform Life logo and blog banner were designed by my good friend Denton Lesslie. Please visit his website at www.dentonsdesigns.com.

I read that you are looking for a job. Our church has an opening for a youth leader. We live in a very cross cultural setting which makes for great ministry potential. Would enjoy hearing if you are interested.

I’d say you’re in a cross-cultural setting! Africa is pretty cross-cultural Mr. Zook!

Oh well, I thought I would at least try. Would still enjoy having you and your family involved in ministry here in Uganda with us!

Great material on the cruciform life! I don’t remember if we have communicated before, but it looks as if we have a great deal in common. Check out my website: http://www.becruciform.com I am writing now a thesis on applying cruciformity to the situation in Israel. Any resources?

Ron: Thanks for stopping by! Yes, it seems we have some common themes. I don’t have any resources on the situation in Israel to suggest…not my area of expertise. I look forward to checking out your stuff.
