Blue-Collar Jesus Jay Loucks

Blue Collar Jesus is a daily devotional written by Pastor Jay Loucks. Jay serves as a local pastor for a small rural United Methodist congregation in Northwest Indiana. He has had the honor of shepherding a flock just one mile south of the farm he grew up on and just a half mile north of where he lives with his wife Lynn. Together they have three grown children, Megan and Mara and R. J. For the past 20 years Jay has balanced the responsibility of pastoring a growing church and taking classes at Bethel College and the Appalachian Local Pastor's School in Corbin, Kentucky, while also working his day job as a plumbing and heating contractor. His unique blue-collar approach to the study and application of Scripture has enabled him to make a special connection with folks like him who get up every morning and go to work and do their job as they raise their children and find the time to be alone with Jesus. Find Jay on the website for his church, Lambs Chapel United Methodist Church, at www.lambschapel.org. And you can email him at jaylouckslambschapel@gmail.com. Or give him a call at (219) 380-7477.
