Fast forward twelve years... he has appeared on shows like Larry King, 20/20, being interviewed by Barbara Walters professing his love for God and his Christianity.
Stephen Baldwin: I am Second
I am not about to tell you that this is my plan... not at all.
However, I should take a moment to say to some of my friends {who have known me forever}...
I realize that all this (my talking about my seeking for a relationship with God) may seem weird coming from me.. Only because I never have expressed too much interest.
Now I did go to a Christian school through second grade and then fourth, fifth and sixth (I think) I attended a Catholic school... even so, I never had a real, sincere relationship with God. Everything {religion} was forced on me and not really explained (Catholic service back in the day was Latin... exactly! I had no clue what was being said.)
Just as Stephen did, I have also been searching for my own true self... for a sincere relationship with God... for God to use me for his work. I want to be a better person... I want to feel better... I want to do good... I want to help others...
Isn't is said, "it is better to give than to receive"?

We are Second when we put Jesus First. Seconds are bold to lift up Jesus and tell others. Are you ready to become a stronger Second?
I challenge YOU to take the I Am Second [22] Day Challenge... Can you spare maybe fifteen minutes in a day?
In every way I showed you that by working hard like this we can help those who are weak. We must remember what the Lord Jesus said,‘We are more happy when we give than when we receive.’ ~Acts 20:35 (NIV)
I AM SECOND.
[here's to you finding your... ]
