Jesus Follower, Fact Checker, Teacher, Author,
Producer of Seed the Series: Lost in Paradise

[Memoir by J. Credence]

Not eight weeks ago, CJ and I were talking about emailing our brother in Jesus, Rob Skiba, about publishing his content with us in the adventure that is Life Thoughts Today, and now there is a hole where our brother once was. I only had the honor of meeting this Man of God at one conference, and I was overwhelmed by his humbleness and kindness, which can only speak to the deep relationship he had with Jesus. I credit him with much of the force that brought me into a friendship with CJ, and how we arrived here today. His compilation of Genesis, Enoch, Jasher and Jubilees still lives on either my nightstand or my coffee table. I use it regularly for reference as I’m writing history pieces.

Though I started my truth journey with Jesus when I was young, Rob was the enzyme that caused me to dive into the Rabbit Hole. I find myself reflecting on all the adjustments and fine tuning our family has made because Rob’s teaching was so scriptural, straightforward and made us think. He was wholly Jesus centric, and drove all of us toward Jesus too. He was humble, but spoke from extensive research and experience. He helped get our hands on tools, and to understand the more complicated teachings and teachers.

To our community, Rob was the unifying front. He didn’t make enemies and tried to help passionate leaders to get along. When he disagreed, he would so graciously listen to the whole argument and then would take time to think on it. When commissioned for a debate, he exhausted himself in preparation yet still took time for people both before and after his speech.

His bravery to be the keynote speaker at the Take on the World Conference during the continuation of the COVID pandemic, all while posting his controversial views to the public, in prerelease of his Television Series Seed: Lost in Paradise, leaves me in amazement. I hope that when this journal grows up, we can be half as brave as he was in Jesus.

I did not know you very well friend, but you have made my life more full. And you have driven me closer to Jesus. Thank you. May you bask in the Glory of the Almighty One.
