Jason Fisher- How long have you been a part of Good Shepherd?
I grew up just a few blocks from Good Shepherd and remember being baptized there with my mom, brother, and sister when I was 7 years old. We joined the church around the time I was in 2nd grade. I continued to worship with and serve alongside those gathered at Good Shepherd up through my graduation from High School. In 2007 my wife Samantha and son Zechariah moved back to Champaign and we have been a part of this faith community since moving back. All told 28 years - over half my life!
Finish the sentence: Discipleship is……. Or Following Jesus means……
Discipleship is following in the way of Jesus. Allowing God's word to grow in us. Submitting to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is a risky scary adventure into the life that truly is life not only for me but for those I meet.
What are you passionate about? How did you discover that passion?
Teaching through play. I love learning new things about this amazing world God is creating and I can tell there is an excitement inside me that wants to share what I am learning with others. In high school I had friends from another church that invited me to their house for bible study each week. I really enjoyed the fellowship and games with friends but could tell I came most alive when I was given the opportunity to lead a bible study for the group. Ever since then I've relished the creative process of finding exciting and joyful ways of teaching and learning together.
