GFI Guide, Rob Semco, has started sharing discipleship insights online. His wife, Nancy, encouraged him to record some of the insights that he has been gleaning from his devotional life and journaling.

The YouTube channel is titled “Rooted in Christ” based on the imagery of Colossians 2:6,7:
“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving” (NKJV).

Rob has also been posting some articles online. Rob introduces the blog this way:

“Have you ever wrestled with doubts, feeling like you needed something undeniable to fully trust God? Like the apostle Thomas, I’ve been there—longing to ‘touch His wounds,’ to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus is real. For years, I struggled with depression and anxiety, living as though faith was out of reach unless I could grasp it tangibly.

“In His grace, the Lord showed me a truth that transformed my life: through my union with Christ, I no longer had to be bound by despair or fear. Joy and peace were already mine in Him. It was as if Jesus said to me, as He did to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; see my hands. Stop doubting and believe’ (John 20:27). In that moment, I believed—and my heart responded with awe and surrender: ‘My Lord and my God!’

“This journal is my response to that grace. Written under the name Believing Thomas, this space reflects who I truly am in Christ—free, whole, and loved—but also who I am becoming as He continues to conform me to His image. Writing anonymously allows me to keep the focus where it belongs: on Jesus. It’s not about my name, accomplishments, or even my struggles. Instead, it’s about pointing you to the One who invites us to know Him, trust Him, and rest in Him….”
