About The Author:
Leonard O Goenaga was born in Paramount, California to Cuban parents and moved at an early age to his home city of Miami, Florida. There, Leonard received an A.A. from Miami Dade College, as well as a B.A. in Religious Studies and a 2nd B.A. in Political Science from Florida International University. In addition to graduating with High Honors within both degrees, Leonard served his undergraduate institution by structuring several important organizations and philanthropies, such as the FIU Student Government Judiciary (where he served as Chief Justice and structured a newly formed judiciary), FIU 30 Hour Famine (a campaign to raise worldwide hunger awareness and poverty), College Apologists (a group of inter-denominational Christians who apologetically defended the Christian worldview on campus), and FIU Students for Faith and Fair Funding (a student grassroots campaign to defend issues of morality, ethics, and faith on campus, as well as challenge student government’s wasteful spending).
On October 5th 2009, Leonard had the honor of marrying Katrina Lynne Martinez. A native Floridian, born in Key West, Katrina is a graduate of the University of Miami with a B.A. in Religious Studies with focused studies in ethics and women in religion, and a minor in Theater Arts.
Both are current seminary students at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, where Leonard has completed an M.Div. (Master of Divinity) in Christian Ethics, and is currently completing a Th.M. (Master of Theology) in Christian Ethics/Political Theology. Katrina is pursuing an M.Div. in Biblical Counseling and an M.A. in Women’s Studies.
They live in Wake Forest with their two furry children: Jack Russell Goenaga (a Jack Russell Terrier), and Darci Anne Goenaga (a Teacup Chihuahua). They are also expecting their first child on July 25th, 2012.
Upon completing his Th.M. degree, Leonard plans to begin Ph.D. studies with a focus in Political Theology. If the opportunity awakens, Leonard would like to serve his country through shepherd-leadership within public policy.
Leonard’s life goals can be found within Mark 12:28-34, & 16:15.

God’s Blessings!
It is mindblowing to me how willing you are to THINK. It is a rare attribute for our generation. Even though we may disagree sometimes, I still find myself incredibly attracted to your writing, and keep wishing more people were like you! – Nice ego stroke there.
I hope we cross paths again soon!!!
love and adventures,

Hi Leonard. Thanks for stopping by my blog as well. It’s great to see young men and women of faith speaking out on world issues. I’m especially pleased to read that you plan on ministering to our heroes in the military.
Keep up the good work.
wow, you are so much like me!!!
i am actually using some of the info on your website for my paper in my speech class. i am giving my speech on how you can know that you are saved. your psalm was a blessing. I too am sad about the things in the past i have done wrong. the bible says that where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. i am so glad for that. i deserve hell but God has blessed me and forgiven me instead.
i am 19 and faithfully attend freedom baptist church. my pastor is sam vallini. you should look him up on google and check out some of his sermons. learning to Bible has truly blessed my life.
i am also so surprised at how we polically agree. my dad raised me right. i too am a conservative republican christian. i believe that separation of church and state has been misinterpreted by congress now a days to mean that they don’t want God or the Bible in schools, when the idea was for the state to no control the church and the church to not control the state. people like me and you are rare. it is hard to find someone that believes the truths of the Bible and is fundamental.
one of my fav books is Americas God and Country. it is full of quotes our founders said regarding their love of jesus and salvation and how religion and God are necessary in govt.
I went down the lis of your political beliefs and unbelfs and what you are for and agains. i must say it made me smile. i never meet ppl that believe like that. me and my dad are sorta that only ones i know of around here.
well best of luck to ya.

k. so one more thing,
i think personally that it is best for women to dress modestly according to the new testament. specifically, and i get a lot of criticism for this, but to wear skirts instead of pants. God does care how a woman that professes godliness dresses. modesty is key. anyways, i just thought i would throw that out there.

Leonard,
Thanks for your kind comments on my blog, “Concord Live,” and my guest lecture on Conservatism in your Political Ideologies class at FIU.
Congratulations on producing a great blog of your own! I’m always glad to meet a fellow Christian and a fellow conservative. There are many more of us than we may realize.
As I like to say- We are not orphans of the Modern Age: we are the children of the Cathedral Builders, for whom the ravages of Time hold no terrors.
