About Jayopsis

Hi, I’m Jay Mathews. I’ve spent more than thirty-five years coaching high school football and mentoring young people, and I’ve spent even longer walking with Jesus, raising a family, and trying to pay attention to the world with a grateful heart. I write here about the things that have shaped me most: faith, family, football, fishing, music, and the unexpected lessons woven into ordinary days. I’m a husband to Lisa, a dad to three wonderful daughters, and a proud grandfather. I’ve also been a teacher, an athletic director, a Sunday School leader, a storyteller, and now—somehow—a songwriter creating music with the help of AI. Most of what you’ll find on this blog is simply me reflecting on Scripture, sharing life experiences, wrestling honestly with the world, or chronicling the joys and struggles of a sixty-year-old man who still loves to learn. I started Jayopsis in 2004 and never expected that twenty years later I’d still be typing away.

Possibilities Looking into 2013

I am still praying through which direction to begin for jayopsis.com in 2013.

Maybe you have an idea or opinion?

A: I have thought about developing the series: The Best of the Bible. I have highlighted 160 passages which would be 'what your grandfather has underlined in his Bible' and devotionals based on those 'all time favorites'.

B: I have also though about a weekly study on the attributes of God using J.I. Packer's classic, "Knowing God" and the old Dan Dehaan book, "The God You Can Know".

C: Another plan in the hopper is an attempt to explain a Christian epistemology for students. How can we discern TRUTH in a mudslide of information. This would draw heavily from John Fram's book- The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God.

Love for you to leave me a comment below:

Best of the Bible

Knowing God

Finding Truth

or maybe you have another great idea.

Love to hear from you!
