About

 

Hello, my name is
Phillip Watkins.

I am married to Sarah and we have four beautiful children. I have many interests including movies, sports, games, and reading. I am currently an avid runner and have completed multiple marathons, quite a few half-marathons, and even a few small triathlons. The principles of discipline involved in these endeavors apply equally well to every aspect of life and they have come in handy many times. Plus I like the medals that they hand out after the big races!

I have an engineering degree, and after passing the hardest test I've ever taken in my life, I received my Professional Engineering license. Later, because I had the time (before kids obviously), I graduated with an MBA.

In 1999 I got serious about my relationship with the Lord and began a life-long journey of growing in Christ. Even though life has had its ups and downs, the Lord has been faithful to provide wisdom, strength, peace, and joy at every step of my growth process. The Lord’s love and companionship have provided a wonderful foundation of security and trust that has helped me overcome insecurity, a bad self-image, and some of the hardest trials I've ever had in my life.

I have recently authored a couple of books and would love to share them with you. I love talking about the things of God, the Bible, and sharing how He has helped me overcome. I hope that, through this blog, I can introduce you to Him and you can start your own adventure!
