Today at my church, Jim Caviezel the actor who played Jesus in The Passion of The Christ, sat down with my pastor for an interview (fantastic experience). Somewhere in the midst of Mr. Caviezel speaking I realized something…

I am the way I am because I’m discontent with the public’s perception of Christianity & what it means to be a Christ follower, from both a Christian and a non-Christian perspective. For once in my life I’ve allowed myself to be moved to action. I’m unsatisfied and willing to dedicate my life to pursuing change. I’m passionate and won’t be stopped.

For some people, the title of this post is a true statement (although obviously extremely false). Bill Cecchini, founder of FriendlyChristian.com is Jesus Christ. In addition, I am the 10 commandments, the Bible, and the ultimate voice for Christianity. Hefty responsibilities, eh? I may be the only Jesus that anybody ever experiences. The same holds true for all us who follow Christ. So what do I do? I put my nose to the ground, pick up my cross, man up and go for it.

Lemme hear it:

“But Bill, you’re only one person.”
“Bill, Christianity is broken. There’s nothing you can do about it.”
“Bill, do you have any clue how many people have come before you, smarter, wiser, more educated, and have come up short/abandoned their faith/gave up?”

In short, I don’t care. Get in my way, I dare you.

I’ve given up a highly successful (in my opinion) career in the IT field to pursue Christ’s calling on my life. Today is my first day at school in pursuit of a communications major with a religion minor. Today I’m also back full-time at FriendlyChristian.com.

I may have an extremely skewed perception of what Christianity is. Until God himself tells me otherwise, I’m putting forth 100% of my energy and efforts into what I believe I’m being lead to “teach,” if you will. I’ve cleared my schedule as much as possible so I can invest more into this site/project/cause. This is my story. This is my journey. I’m excited to see where it takes us.

To all who left comments/sent emails wishing me a Merry Christmas/Happy New year - thank you. I love you guys and am honored to call you all my friends.
