Jeff Green

I am Jeff Green and I have been married for 16 years and have 2 boys. I have been following Christ for a little over 2 years and the turn around has been incredible. I have finished year 1 of The Rock School of Ministry and am enrolled in the second year. My favorite scripture verse is Isaiah 40:29-31 it is a passage about God providing strength to those who are weary and who lack it. It emphasizes that God empowers and increases the strength of the weak. Also that those who trust in the Lord will find renewed strength, allowing them to overcome challenges they couldn't before.
