About The Author

At age 40, Kevin Seacat was in near despair that his anger was going to wreck his family and his life. But by God’s grace, the Holy Spirit intervened. Surprised by the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, Kevin was set free from the anger that had nagged him his entire life.

Fueled by a desire to help others also experience this life-giving freedom, in 2002, Kevin began teaching classes at his local church about the powerful truths of being filled, led, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. This book is an outgrowth of those classes taught over the past 20-plus years.

During that time, he has enjoyed meeting one-on-one with young men, teaching them to live similarly.

Kevin retired in 2023 after 40 years as a financial advisor. He and his wife, Juli, grew up and still reside in the Phoenix area. They have three grown children.

98110 We Are JesusOnline Ministries

Welcome to the JO App!

We are JesusOnline Ministries, a U.S.-based nonprofit Protestant Christian organization.

Supported by like-minded Christians, we created this JO (JesusOnline) App to provide free digital resources to help you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior and grow in your relationship with Him.

In 2001, Larry Chapman, a Christian businessman, summarized evidence of God’s existence and Jesus’ deity for a Young Life leader.

Later, Larry co-published this evidence with the late Dr. Bill Bright, founder of Cru, as single-issue magazines. In response to the release of the film The Da Vinci Code in 2006, JesusOnline Ministries was launched, making the Y-Jesus magazine articles readily accessible online.

Today, JesusOnline Ministries manages 18 websites where you can read the Y-Jesus articles in different languages and offers this free JO App as a tool for Christian maturity.
