OFFICAL BIO
Kurtis Young is a Husband, Father, and the Host of the Faith Life Podcast
I was born and raised on the Southside of Chicago. During my early years of school, I developed a passion for athletics. This passion continued through high school. I attended St. Rita High School, and during my years of study, I also participated in basketball.
After graduating from high school, I attended Iowa State University, to pursue my course in life in the field of Hotel, Restaurant and Institution Management. However, after 3 ½ years into my studies, my pursuit fell short.
After my studies ended at Iowa State University, I obtained a position in the hospitality industry at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. I excelled in my career at the Hyatt, receiving several management promotions. Again, due to my lack of focus, my career ended there. However, this is where I met and fell in love with my now wife Patricia Young, whom I have been graced to be married to for over 29-years.
In June of 1993, God began tugging at my heart. Instead of pursing my own dreams, I began pursuing God. God began to move mightily in my life. He called me in the ministry in 1996. I was ordained in 1997 and commissioned for ministry.
God has taught me the importance of living by faith. My deepest desire is to teach others how to walk and live by faith.
The Vision Behind the Faith Life Ministry
"The Faith Life" Ministry was birthed from a "Word" God dropped in my spirit in December 2004. He said, "It's time for God's people to start living above "see" level." Circumstances can fluctuate from good to bad, but I always remain the same. I am the object of your faith. Keep your eyes on Me and I will see you through all life fluctuating circumstances."
"God's Word tells us that we must walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7)." " He also has informed us that it is impossible to please Him if we do not exercise our belief and faith in Him (Hebrew 11:6)." God has instructed the "Just to live by faith" and that is what I will continue to do. So, as you listen in on "The Faith Life" podcast, I pray that you will be encouraged to unite with Christ who is the Author and Finisher of the faith life He has planned and purposed to walk with you.
