Francis Cardullo

Where I’m from: New Knoxville, Ohio

Why I became a fellowlaborer: I grew up in an awesome Christian household and spent a a good amount of time acquiring learning about God and his word, however there was little action on the word. It’s VERY easy to get so busy and caught up with your daily life that you always put off living God Word to the fullest. Fellowlaborers provided me with an opportunity to step out on his word and build daily biblical living habits that I can and will use for the rest of my life.

Coolest part of being a fellowlaborer: The people…hands down, it’s the people.

On a bad day, I: Make it a good day. Life is 90% attitude…specifically, MY attitude…As for what I do if it’s a REALLY bad day: find a quiet place and crack open my Bible for a few minutes…

Movies & TV I love: The Unit, Stargate, Heroes, Scrubs, Firefly, Amelie, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Notebook, 300, The Devil Wears Prada, Spiderman, X-Men, V for Vendetta, Shawshank Redemption, Serenity, Usual Suspects, Blood Diamond, Finding Neverland, Big Fish, The Aviator, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Cinderella Man, Gladiator, The Godfather

Music I’m a fan of: Anything classical, classical violin, classical with vocals, modern rock, 90s punk, 90s pop, anything Irish or celtic, particularly bagpipes & fiddle, light & uplifting (Josh Groban’ish), anything techno / trance / dance.

Final Thoughts: I already touched on it about what I do on a bad day, but it’s such a big and important thing that it bears repeating. ~Life is 90% attitude.~ The more you put on, believe and trust in God’s word and the concept that everything WILL work out in the end, the better your life will be. Yes we all make mistakes, but fix them (if you can… if not, God will in his time) and move on regardless. Excessive worrying about something will only make it worse, not better… give things up to God, stop worrying about them from that point forward and keeping going, comforted and in the knowledge and assurance that, regardless of how bleak things look in that moment, God WILL work everything out in the end. Speaking from my own life, which has had more than its fair share of not-so-rosy moments, God has ALWAYS made everything work out in the end, provided that I was willing to be patient, not worry about it, and change my attitude about it until he worked it out.

Beyond that, get into the word NOW, make it your own NOW. When life throws challenges your way (and it will), you’ll be prepared to correctly identify them as attacks from the devil and fight back with the power of God (which has never lost a battle). Don’t wait till your knee deep in brown stuff before turning to the word!
