About Jim Wolstenholm

blog to help followers of Jesus

I am excited to offer my new book to you! Transformational Life Lessons From the Bible is now available on Amazon in Kindle format!

Hi, my name is Jim Wolstenholm. Most people just call me Jim!  I retired from the U.S. Navy after 20 years and then I retired again after nearly 20 years of pastoral service. Even though I’ve had thousands of hours of leadership training, I want to learn to be a better follower! Why? Because I follow Jesus!

My mission: I help people follow Jesus so they can live the abundant life and change their world.

Jesus wants you to live an abundant life. He clearly promised this in John 10:10! To live at any level below abundance is to live at a lower level than Jesus wants for you! I want to help you!

I believe a great follower can change the world. Jesus was a great follower of his Father. The apostle Paul was a great follower. And didn’t they change the world? Don’t forget that Jesus promised us that we would do greater things than he did! (John 14:12)

Just for you

On my blog, I am working through the very things we need to become great followers. We live in an age of accelerating change. That makes me uncomfortable at times. But when I can follow someone who is confident, strong and encouraging I find confidence, strength and encouragement. Jesus is the one I follow!

I want to help you learn to be a better follower. After prayer and careful deliberation, a new post is added to my blog to help you navigate the challenges of following Jesus in our changing culture. I invite you to join me on this journey. These posts have been very helpful and popular with many readers:

Bob shared: Now that I have landed here, I will be checking around again and again. May the Lord increase His grace and anointing upon your life and ministry.

Elaine: During the past week I was studying the Word of God and there was a reference to the book of Zephaniah. I realized that I knew nothing about Zephaniah so I was looking it up and came across your website. I found your reference and explanation very helpful and uplifting and directing my heart to the Lord.

Cathy: Reading through the Bible and hit Jeremiah and Ezekiel. I struggle to find a message, although I’m aware the WHOLE Bible is a love letter to each of us. I found your 7 lessons to learn from Ezekiel and LOVED what you wrote! Sooooo true!!! Thank you dear brother for bringing clarity in the midst of my fog over these difficult books.
