Brandon Edwards

Christian. Academic. Proud father and husband. Sarcastic & witty. I think people should talk more about religion and politics and learn through civil dialogue.

[Brandon Edwards @Brandonedwards]

A little about me: I am first and foremost a Christian, husband, and father - after that an academic, minister, teacher, digital native, and storyteller.

I hold degrees in Bible (FHU), a Masters in Religion (Harvard), and two postgraduate certifications - one in Religious Studies and Education (Harvard Divinity and Extension), and the other in Philosophy from the University of Cambridge. I am currently working on a PhD in Romantic Theology (think CS Lewis - religion through literature).

I work full-time as a Campus Minister and love working and teaching students on a major campus (Go Bucks!). I grew up in Florence, Italy (16 years of my life) and also lived two years in Wuhan, China (ever heard of it?), and Athens, Greece. I have traveled to over 40 countries as a minister and missionary (both openly and clandestine), and worked in some of the most beautiful and heartbreaking lands.

I love Manchester United and Fiorentina, The Ohio State University football, and the St. Louis Cardinals. I love all sports - you'll find me talking sports a lot.

I also love to read - close to 100-150 books a year....in just about any genre.

I love great conversations about politics (independent who leans conservative 95% of the time), religion, philosophy, and culture.

God is good - drop me a note - I'd love to get to know you also!

@LawrenceBJones3 Eh - holding the knife hidden in his backpack while seemingly egging on a fight does seem at least a bit premeditated.

@Vintage77Ball Grew up going to the Fiorentina games during this season. Absolutely legendary year.

Verse 2: "He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters."

[Brandon Edwards @Brandonedwards]

We don’t always need clearer plans as much as we need surrendered hearts. We can trust He'll lead us all along the way.

[Brandon Edwards @Brandonedwards]

@ammandev I think he’d be great at United - he was special when at Fiorentina.

"Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth." - Philippians 2:9-10

[Brandon Edwards @Brandonedwards]

God isn't leaving us to figure out this life on our own. He has wisdom for any situation we're facing. We just need to ask. He promises to give it.

"This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." - John 15:12-13

"And now he has made all of this plain to us by the appearing of Christ Jesus, our Savior. He broke the power of death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the Good News." - 2 Timothy 1:10

[Brandon Edwards @Brandonedwards]

Circumstances change. Feelings fluctuate. God’s Word remains trustworthy through every season.

[Brandon Edwards @Brandonedwards]

His love isn’t rushed, reactive, or fragile. It’s steady and kind.

[Brandon Edwards @Brandonedwards]

Our everyday choices can quietly reflect God’s goodness. Small acts of faithfulness often speak louder than we realize.

@FabrizioRomano So…no rashford?

"For this is what the high and exalted One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy: 'I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.'" - Isaiah 57:15

[Brandon Edwards @Brandonedwards]

Focus on Jesus. Always.

[Brandon Edwards @Brandonedwards]

God’s faithfulness isn’t dependent on favorable conditions. He'll guide us even when there appears to be no hope.

@mamboitaliano__ Cinque Terre!

[Brandon Edwards @Brandonedwards]

Here's the list: "neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

[Brandon Edwards @Brandonedwards]

@archi_tradition Was there today!

[Brandon Edwards @Brandonedwards]

@elsniderman Without a doubt - and also our own future when the time comes!
