About the Founder

I am simply John—your servant for the journey. A Christian mystic, though not in any “woo woo” sense, but as a seeker of truth who walks outside the denominations and structures of traditional Christianity. My path has been one of faith, questioning, and ultimately, return.

For more than 25 years, I served as a minister in an Apostolic Pentecostal church, pioneering the use of the internet for spreading the Gospel through web pages and the backend technology of streaming video.

During that time, I also managed The Good News Café, a thriving online forum where believers gathered for fellowship and study, and argue, and debate and often hurl insults, use the scriptures to manipulate and degrade one another. The usual human stew. That forum is now being resurrected here, with a renewed purpose.

After decades of influence by traditional religion, I stepped away. I had seen way too much of:

• The flaws of religious systems
• The dangers of hierarchy
• The ways human institutions distort what is meant to be a simple, personal relationship with Christ

That journey led me into a desert of learning—a place of self-examination, repentance, and rediscovery. 

I made mistakes. I hurt people. I did things I regret. And I am sorry.

But here’s the truth: God is merciful. His grace calls us home, no matter how far we’ve strayed.

That’s why I’m here—creating this ministry for those like me:

• For the ones who walk the path alone—who don’t fit into a church structure but still long for Christ.
• For the ones who fell away—who feel they’ve strayed too far but need to know they can come back - without the approval, consent or participation of any human authority.
• For those who just want to grow—who seek practical, Bible-based wisdom to become better followers of Christ.

I don’t claim to have all the answers. But I walk this journey alongside you, sharing what I’ve learned, learning as I go, and striving daily to be a better Christian.

This space is for you. For us. Let’s seek truth together.
