Alex Bryant's Christian Testimony
 |
Pastor Alex Bryant U.S. House of Representatives Missouri District 7 |
1. When and how did you become a Christian?
Alex Bryant: "I have been a Christian since I was about 8 years old. My mom made sure I attended Sunday school and it was there that Mother Coleman introduced me to Jesus. Every Sunday she would tell me that she loved me, and God loved me, and that He had a plan for my life. I believed her and accepted Jesus into my heart."
2. How did becoming a Christian change you?
Alex Bryant: "Being a Christian has given me a higher purpose to live for. Knowing that I represent Jesus has caused me to always be aware of what I do and how I’m representing Him. I strive to be Christ-like in everything I do. As well, by living according to the principles of obedience to God’s Word, I’ve lived a blessed life. I believe that obedience brings blessings, according to Deuteronomy 30. I strive to live an obedient life and that shapes who I am."
3. How would you describe your relationship with Jesus today?
Alex Bryant: "My relationship with Jesus is alive and well, and I walk with Jesus and fellowship with Him daily."
4. Which church in which city do you attend most often?
Alex Bryant: "My home church is Thrive Church in Nixa, MO. My wife and I are traveling missionary evangelists and usually preach in churches all over the country 30-35 weeks out of the year. Our children don’t always travel with us and they are actively involved in the youth ministry at Thrive Church."
5. In the past 12 months, how many church services have you attended?
Alex Bryant: "We had 39 speaking engagements last year and if we were not preaching, we were in service somewhere. In addition, I’m the campus pastor of The Assemblies of God Theological Seminary at Evangel University, so I usually attend chapel at least once per week there. So, I have roughly been in 85-90 church services in the past year."
6. In the past 12 months, how much time have you spent in prayer to God daily?
Alex Bryant: "I spend time in prayer daily towards the Lord. I strive to spend an hour each day in prayer, Bible reading, and journaling. I’ve done this pretty consistently in the past decade."
7. In the past 12 months, how much Bible reading have you averaged daily?
Alex Bryant: "I read the Bible and pray daily. Each year for the past 10-12 years, I have led a Facebook group dedicated to leading people in reading through the Bible in a year. I’ve read through the Bible daily each year and have estimated that I’ve led over 700 people reading through the Bible in a year as well."
8. Do you believe Jesus always has been both God and the Son of God?
Alex Bryant: "Absolutely. I believe in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."
9. Why did Jesus die on the cross?
Alex Bryant: "Jesus died in the cross so that He could offer Himself as the perfect sacrifice, without blemish. He did this so that He could take away the sins of the world."
10. Do you believe Jesus rose from the dead?
Alex Bryant: "Absolutely. Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, conquering death, grave, and sin."
11. Do you believe Jesus ascended to heaven and will return someday?
Alex Bryant: "Yes. Jesus told us that He would do this in John 16. Then after He rose from the dead and walked the earth, appearing to His disciples for 40 days, He ascended. And He promises He would return one day according to John 14."
12. By what criterion do you believe people go to heaven?
Alex Bryant: "Jesus said, 'I’m the way the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but through Me.' (John 14:6) When we believe in our hearts and confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, we will be saved. (Romans 10:9-10)"
13. In the past year, how many non-Christians have you told why Jesus died?
Alex Bryant: "I’ve preached sermons to many non-Christians and have seen a couple of hundred people respond for salvation, and I’ve led them in the sinner's prayer. I’ve also had a few individual conversations outside of the church context in which I’ve shared my faith."
14. Which gift(s) has the Holy Spirit given you, and what fruit(s) has it borne?
Alex Bryant: "I’ve been given the gift of evangelism and have seen many people come to Christ as a result of me preaching the Word of God. I’ve been an ordained minister in good standing with the Assemblies of God since 2004."
15. What do you pray to God for/about our nation?
Alex Bryant: "I pray that our nation humbles itself and cries out to the Lord so that He will hear our prayers and heal our land. Specifically, I pray that God blesses our leaders to continue to honor God and make just laws. I pray that God blesses us and allows us to continue to do good in His name. I pray for our military and those who have volunteered to serve. I pray that our nation repents of its sinful ways and stops aborting babies whose blood is crying out to be avenged."
16. How do you define "marriage"?
Alex Bryant: "Marriage is the sacred and blessed covenant between one man and one woman."
17. Under what circumstances do you believe abortion should be allowed?
Alex Bryant: "I believe that God is the giver of life and no child is an accident or mistake. I am against killing babies under any circumstance!!!"
18. What remedies do you advocate against illegal immigration?
Alex Bryant: "We need to implement President Trump's plan. Build the wall to close our border. Remain in Mexico while waiting for asylum case. Immediately deport violent offenders. End chain migration. Have those here illegally pay a fine and get in line or have ICE track them down and deport them."
19. Where can the rest of your policy positions be read?

20. What would you like to say to the Christian voters in Missouri's 7th Congressional District?
Alex Bryant: "Although I’ve never run for political office, I feel called by God to step up and speak out for our Christian values. I would be honored to be the Congressman chosen to go to Washington and speak up for our conservative Christian values. I recognize that the culture war is here, and I will boldly speak out against the radical left agenda. I’ll speak boldly, clearly, and faithfully - all the while focusing on spreading love and unity and reconciliation.
