GodinterestAs a former atheist with a wild imagination, Nicolas C. Day is on a mission to remove the fantastical adventures in his brain and throw them on paper, providing an amusing ride with the message that faith does not require a separation of the heart from the mind, and we can confidently rest in the hope found in Jesus Christ.
Nicolas is the author of the spaghetti filled middle-grade fantasy, Into the Great Marinara. He is also a dad, a husband, and an obnoxious guitar player who occasionally adds unnecessary guitar solos in the church band. He has a Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering from Louisiana State University and a Certificate in Christian Apologetics from Talbot School of Theology.
The Old Testament is riddled full of the rich, marvelous ways that God has walked with humankind, from our loving creation in the Garden of Eden to the shaping of the nation of Israel in preparation of Jesus’s arrival as a redemptive sacrifice. A constant throughout the process has been God’s willingness to use people to implement and enact his plans – a few of which bore some of the greatest athletic capabilities in history.
Yes. Jesus is the quintessential embodiment of love, kindness, mercy, grace, and forgiveness. However, I feel that we are altogether too quick to chalk him up as a Hallmark card, forgetting that he is also the wielder of strength unfathomable, a conqueror and a king.
