About stevehartlaub@gmail.com
I'm a 73 year old spiritual adventurer in life, but I don't really get along with organized religion. I find it too passive, too worldly, too conforming, too powerless ... though I know many wonderful believers involved in it.
I have been a seeker of Jesus Christ since 1974 in Ketchikan, Alaska.
Very early into my spiritual journey, I came to the realization that I wouldn't be able to last long in this new Godly relationship without becoming able to understand the Bible. God supplied that need, and shortly thereafter I became interested in Biblical research ... Greek, word studies, HOW the Bible is designed to be understood, its customs, etc.
I married Sharon in 1985 in Vancouver, Canada.
I have 5 children - 3 girls, 2 boys....ages 30-36. All were homeschooled. 3 are happily married. I have 8 grandchildren.
I have taught and studied the Word of God in informal gatherings in England, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Canada, Alaska, Nevada and all over the United States.
In 2006 I became aware of God calling me into the revelation of the glorified Christ within, and I have been involved in making that revelation known since then.
I recently moved to Bella Vista, Arkansas, after living in Fitchburg, Wisconsin (suburb of Madison) since 1990.. If you're ever in the area, please look me up.
I am a retired house painter, and God is providing for my wife and I abundantly!
I am meek to the instruction of God...which often occurs while another person is speaking! So don't be afraid to comment on any of these studies. Because my heart is open to my master teacher, Jesus Christ!

. Life can often seem like a juggling act. Sometimes you have to keep so many balls in the air at the same time, and that can be an exhausting effort in futility. So much effort, so little gain. I’m … Continue reading →
. . Two Gods. The One, perfectly good. The other, perfectly evil. In two recent studies, Dark Christian Doctrines and Dark Christian Doctrines 2, we explored the truth of the work of Jesus Christ in separating out, or leading out … Continue reading →
. .Whenever I read political rants, whether about a political figure, or the Democrats, or Republicans, the truth of this study comes to mind. The Kingdom of Heaven is not a location, but rather a state of being, an ever-presence. … Continue reading →
. As we saw in our last study, Dark Christian Doctrines, Satan, the evil one, the destroyer was not exposed to man in the Old Testament. Man’s non-spiritual point of view could only discern the working of one single spiritual … Continue reading →
. Part 1: The Cause of Dark Christian Doctrines Have you ever heard someone say something to this effect….”There’s just some things we’re not supposed to understand, you just have to accept it by faith.” I don’t find that doctrine … Continue reading →
. Tribalism affects many areas of life, but perhaps it affects politics the most. People are less interested in hearing the truth, and more interested in their side winning. This is readily apparent when a person uses the term “we” … Continue reading →
