Welcome to my blog! My name is Brother Woody Brohm. I’m blessed to be married, the father of two wonderful daughters, and the grandfather of five incredible grandchildren. As the son of a pastor, I’ve had the joy of knowing Christ for most of my life. Though I haven’t pursued seminary or pastoral ministry as a vocation, I’ve been privileged to teach in churches and serve as a missionary at various times. My heart’s desire is to follow Jesus Christ faithfully, and I affirm the truth of salvation by grace alone. This blog is a reflection of my passion for studying Scripture and sharing the truths I’ve discovered. May it serve to encourage and equip you as we grow together in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
