A TwistedChristian Dad

The life of a new dad with a beautiful wife and a cute little boy.

I'm a husband, father, and Christ follower. I have a toddler and a baby, and a beautiful wife. I'm not big on labels and live by the saying, "What is True for me doesn't have to be True for you." I apply it to parenting as well as my faith. I also write a blog with a Christian theology focus (which you can click on below).
