Return to Curiosity

When I was young in Christ and new to the faith in my early 20’s, I was what author Tommy Tinney called a “God Chaser.” I wanted to learn and know everything I could about God and the Bible. It was a beautiful season of discovery and adventures in faith.

Then life happened and my spiritual edge dulled. Passion and curiosity got swallowed up by responsibilities, obligations, loss, suffering, disappointment and disillusionment. In recent years I have returned to a curious child-like faith. The fire has been rekindled.

I have rediscovered the passion of this prayer I prayed in my early days as a new Christian, “Father, I want everything You have for me, nothing more and nothing less. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” If your spiritual edge needs sharpening, join me today by praying this simple prayer. – Jimmy

My soul follows hard after you. Your right hand upholds me. Psalms 63:8

Jimmy Pruitt is a believer and follower of Jesus Christ. As an idealist, his words are filtered through his spirituality with the expectation that he will encourage and inspire people to “Live Up in a Down World.” He is committed to being an authentic person in all he does. Because everyone has been through something, or is currently struggling, Jimmy believes the proper response to life is humility; it is the signature of Jesus bringing forth both pain and glory. He and his way better half, Annette, have been married for30 years. Agreeing their family is amazing, placing “Fun” in dys-Fun-ctional. They have three adult children and seven grandchildren that bless their lives beyond what they could ever dream. He is currently Lead Pastor at Bridge Church Fredericksburg, TX, and has started a new podcast titled: “Living Up in a Down Word – Making Faith real for the rest of us.”
