IAMFORGIVEN

Where have all the godly MEN gone?

It seems that people are getting married a lot later in life these days. I am constantly talking with people about life, dating, marriage and being single. Most in their 20’s and 30’s and I have began to ask the questions of why? Why are so many people not taking the plunge into the covenant…

My Life

As I sit here and go through old pictures of me as a child up until today, I look back at my life and see all the amazing times that I had. All the blessings and the experiences that God has allowed me to be involved in has brought great awe to me through it…

Loving Jesus VS Being a Christian

I woke up with this on my mind and it really was a message to me. But I decided to write it because I know it will impact many others that call themselves Christians. When I was 13 I gave my life to Jesus and started to call myself a Christian. I would pick up…

I AM FORGIVEN

I AM FORGIVEN. I have had countless people ask me what that means and where it comes from. They ask, Forgiven? What did you do? Or ask what I have been forgiven from? When I started Forgiven Photography, I wanted to do something that had more meaning than just taking pictures for people. I wanted…

His name was James

It was my last day in Chicago and we wanted to go down to see this thing called the BEAN. This huge weird shaped reflective piece of art in the middle of downtown. As we walked up to where it was there was this really happy homeless guy that wanted to talk to us. I…

Wants VS Needs

Guys, I am not sure if you have ever experienced this, but this is something that God had shown me. We live in a world that gets WANTS and NEEDS so deeply intertwined that we can’t tell the difference between what is necessary to live and what we think we need to be happy. I…

Ever THOUGHT about CHEATING?

It’s amazing that you can read the bible, and even quote scripture but still not fully understand it until God gives you a true revelation of what it means. In the book of Matthew Chapter 5 Jesus sees the crowds and walks up the mountain side and sits down. His disciples then follow him up…

Need a Relationship Reset?

Smart phones can be a love / hate relationship for me. When you first get them they are super fast and everything normally works just the way you want them to. Click a button and boom your application is up and running. But what happens, is then you start to install more apps. You add…

Talking your SELF up.

We live in a society of people who are extremely confident in themselves. We look to idolize talent and elevate humans as somebody to be like. And that causes people to want to strive to be in the spotlight and get that recognition. When I first moved to LA, I notice a commonality in the…

For the love of Money

Growing up I was really into this group called Bone Thugs N Harmony. They were the pioneers of tongue twisting rap, where they would flow out super quick rhymes and make it sound really easy and smooth. It was actually pretty impressive! One year they came out with a song called “For the Love of…
