About Andrew Jones
I’m a Marine Corps Combat Veteran who served from 1999 to 2006 as an 0351 Anti-Tank Assaultman. In 2003, I deployed to Iraq with the 1st Marine Division, stepping into the fire of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I faced combat head-on—ambushes, chaos, and the weight of war. I came home carrying more than my pack: Combat PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, and suicidal thoughts shadowed me, threatening to take everything. But in 2013, because of my wife's prayers and steadfast faith, I hit my knees and gave my life to Jesus Christ. He didn’t just save me—He radically transformed me into a new man, forging purpose from the ashes, and showing me I am mighty man of valor.
Before Christ, I was a warrior without a mission. After, I found my fight. I’ve served my community through my church and various non-profits, pouring into others what God poured into me. In 2017, I was humbled to be inducted into the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame, a testament to His grace and the work He’s done through me. Today, I live in Goodyear, AZ, honorably married to my beautiful wife, with four children who keep me inspired and driven, and we faithfully attend Word of Life Arizona in El Mirage, AZ, under the spiritual covering and leadership of Pastors Orlando and Annette Sagarnaga.
My time in the Marine Corps taught me discipline, resilience, and brotherhood—values I now carry into my faith. God’s given me a voice to connect with men, blending the grit of my Marine Corps infantry experiences with biblical principles. Whether it’s standing firm under fire or taking thoughts captive, I’m here to rally you to a life of purpose, rooted in Christ. This isn’t just my story—it’s a call to lock shields and press forward together.

What Do I Believe?
I believe that the Bible is the infallible Word of God and is divinely inspired and serves as the revealed will of God, as affirmed in Deuteronomy 4:2, 1 Timothy 3:16, and 2 Peter 1:20-21. I hold to the doctrine of the Trinity, recognizing the Godhead as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of the world. That Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, fully God and fully man. I believe that he lived a perfect and sinless life, gave up His life, died on the cross, was buried, and rose again on the third day. I believe that Jesus ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. I believe that salvation requires God’s grace through faith in Jesus, repentance of sin, and living a life devoted to Christ and that if you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). I believe that all Christians are endowed with spiritual gifts, as outlined in Romans 12:4-8 and 1 Corinthians 12:1-31. Finally, I believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues, as described in Acts 1:5, 2:4, 10:44-46, and 19:2-6.
