I\u2019m working and I just finished my education in Graphic Design in Chicago, Illinois.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ricky: What are some of your favorite hobbies and something you would consider unique about yourself?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Anthony: <\/b>Some of my favorite hobbies are reading, watching movies, and working out. Something unique about me is I collect comic books.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ricky: Tell me how you were met\/invited to Church?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Anthony: <\/b>It was actually through Indeed. Someone was trying to offer me their mentorship, but after that didn\u2019t work out she asked me if I was a Christian. I had just recently moved from Illinois and I was looking for a church here, so they connected me with a couple people, and I ended up meeting Darian. <b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tribechurches.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tempFileForShare_20220201-181134-300x221.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"221\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Ricky: Describe your relationship with God prior to studying The Bible and how it has changed?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Anthony: <\/b>I always knew I wanted to study the Bible, I always wanted to be a Christian. But even the word Christian is confusing these days especially in Texas. You don\u2019t know who you\u2019re really following. I was a little adamant about the studies, but after&#8211; my eyes were opened. It\u2019s just great to see a lot of people that\u2019s really committed to God\u2019s word. It\u2019s just inspiring to see that. I\u2019m not the only one in this.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ricky: What are some of your favorite scriptures and why?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Anthony: <\/b>I like the one in Matthew that says \u201cDo not worry.\u201d Don\u2019t\u00a0 worry about tomorrow because it won\u2019t add a hour to your life. Tomorrow already bring enough problems, just give all your problems to God. You don\u2019t have to go through this thing alone. That\u2019s kind of my problem&#8211; I like to try and be the independent mighty man! But even men have to fight amongst other men.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ricky: What advice would you give someone who has started studying the Bible or is considering it?\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Anthony: <\/b>Throw out everything you think you know about Christianity, everything you seen on T.V. Some are true, some are false. Just realize that the truth is not as popular to this world.
