MagnifyJesus.com began when Jim Dixon was studying what it means to truly be a child of God, and discovered eight characteristics of a child the Jesus is looking for in us, but we tend to forget as we get older. His book, Like a Child, explores eight characteristics Jesus is looking for in us, how we forget them and how to reclaim them. That book has led to a commitment to share with others what it means to help you understand God as a loving Father, your "Daddy" who can fix it when you bring it to Him.

We are adopted into the Father's family. Paul, in his letters to the Romans and Galatians, describes the Spirit of adoption that allows us to cry out, "Abba! Father!", a term of endearment akin to "Daddy" or "Papa." This signifies not just legal adoption, but a loving, personal bond.  Paul said, For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, 'Abba! Father!' The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him ." (Romans 8:15-17)

"Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, 'Abba! Father!' Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God." (Galatians 4:6-7)

Jim is an author, conference speaker, pastor, and law enforcement chaplain. Jim and Marsha both gave their lives to Jesus Christ in 1980. Some time after that surrender, following years of a tumultuous marriage that nearly ended in divorce,  they were discussing their separation when God divinely stepped in and restored that marriage. Their book, God's Blueprint for Marriage, shares what they learned through repentance, Jim's second book, No Pause Button, is about preparing for spiritual warfare by putting on the armor of God. His third book, Like a Child, identifies the childlike characteristics Jesus is looking for, why we tend to lose them and how to regain them. All three books are available at Amazon.

 Jim began his pastoral ministry in 1987, and has since served as Worship Pastor, Associate Pastor and Sr. Pastor. He currently serves as Associate Pastor over his church's Small Group Ministry. He is a certified law enforcement and fire chaplain, and has served the emergency service community for over 25 years.

Marsha is retired after her career in the medical industry, serving as nurse, office manager and clinic manager. Jim and Marsha have two grown sons and five granddaughters who all love and serve the Lord. They have an active missions ministry in Peru, where they have trained and equipped pastors and church leaders, encouraged churches, spoken at conferences and built lasting relationships as "Mom and Dad" to several pastors.

 Last year Jim wrote two books, No Pause Button and Like a Child. Those books, God's Blueprint for Marriage, and the encouragement of friends prompted the decision to form MagnifyJesus.com and to share whenever the opportunity arises.
