About Jared

Hello. My name is Jared Elrod, AKA Jared the Speaker.

My passion in life is answer two questions. “Why?” and “How?”

When I read the Bible I want to understand the answer to these questions for what I am studying.

I would ask my spiritual leaders about things I didn’t understand in the Bible and grew rather tired of hearing a version of “Well that’s what the Bible said, but not what it actually means” So I started studying “What the Bible actually meant”

But this lead me to the next problem. I would read stuff about how I should live my life as a Christian like “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind?

How do I do that? What does that mean on a mechanical level? Like how do I measure if my soul is loving God 100% or only 99%?

Then, I became a youth pastor and started noticing that it didn’t seem to matter how many times I spoke on a topic, or how creatively I taught it, or how heart felt it was, I just couldn’t get my kids to consistently have life change from the doctrine they had been taught.

I was getting frustrated and was about to chalk it up to the current generation just not getting it, but then a funny thing happened.

I noticed I wasn’t living out all the doctrine I [personally knew in my own life.

I had much more “Head Knowledge” of the Bible than I did obedience,

That sent me back to the drawing board, and eventually I started making the connection between things I was reading in the Bible, what I was seeing in the personal development world, and what science had discovered about how the human brain actually works.

God has anointed me to see what I call the “mechanics” behind doctrine, and called me to take what I learn to the Church so all can benefit.

I’d love to teach your congregation, students, employees, or whoever you have that would benefit from learning how to put Biblical habits into daily practice.
