Sean is a junior at California Lutheran University majoring in Theology and Christian Leadership.
In my freshman year of college, I wrestled with my identity in Christ. I could not figure out how a Christian was supposed to act or how to go about living a life centered on God. I met Sarah in the beginning of my sophomore year at college and at the time I was beginning to give more of my life to God. I grew up as a Christian but when I got to college, the temptations were endless and I did not know where to turn to for help. Sarah introduced me to the church she worked with and as I went to it more and more, I began to really enjoy it.
After a couple months of knowing Sarah and going to Young Life on campus, I decided I wanted to be baptized. Baptism to me was the sign that I was giving my life to Christ. I was tired of the regular college life of drinking every weekend and repeating it the next. The ocean was the perfect place to be baptized because I was deathly afraid of the ocean. On the ride over to the beach, we listened to Oceans by Hillsong and it was very ironic but very spiritual at the same time.
As I went on to my junior year, I was excited to see what the Lord had in store for me after I gave my life to Him last year. In my life, friends are really important because I come from a small family. I was excited to join Impact’s College group because they shared the same interests as me and it felt like family. The Impact community has kept me focused on God and helped me to challenge my faith, which is a good thing. I look forward to Sundays, when I am in fellowship with people my age and they are growing in their faith as well. The Impact community has given me the tools to understand and read the Bible better which is important for any person who is trying to follow Christ.
