I shouldn’t be here. But I am—and there’s a reason for it. I chased everything the world had to offer. None of it filled the void.
Then God stepped in… and everything changed.
This site shares my personal testimony, Christian devotionals, and biblical reflections.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17

If you’re searching for purpose, truth, or a deeper relationship with Jesus, you’re in the right place.
This site is built on real experiences, biblical truth, and honest conversations about faith, struggle, and transformation.
Through devotionals, personal reflections, and real conversations, we slow down, take a breath, and talk about what truly matters faith, purpose, and a life centered on Christ.
My Journey with Christ
My life was transformed when I truly encountered Jesus. What began as questions became faith, and that faith became a calling to share the Gospel and build Christ-centered community.
Follow my transformation to a New Man in Christ. How I died twice and was reborn by the grace of God.
This website is not a work of fiction, nor is it a carefully polished theological dissertation. It is a journey — a living testimony of how God continues to shape and refine us through prayer, devotion, failure, and hope. Every entry flows from real conversations with Christ, from the quiet early mornings over coffee — what I call “Having Coffee with Christ™” — to the moments of doubt and conviction that draw us closer to His heart.
My name is Jeffrey Trester. I am not a pastor or a scholar — just a man called to serve. Within these pages, you will find reflections that are honest and unfiltered. You will see Scripture illuminated through the lens of everyday struggle and redemption. And you will discover the heartbeat behind a vision I believe God placed within me — a Christ-centered community called Bibles, Billiards & Beans™.
If you have ever wondered, “Am I enough?”
If you have ever felt like your prayers were echoing into silence —
I pray these words remind you that God hears you. That you are never alone. And that your life — yes, your life — is woven into a story far greater than you can see.
Let’s begin this journey together.
IN Christ,
Jeffrey
Bibles Billiards & Beans ™
A future Christ-centered community where faith, fellowship, and conversation bring people together.

Visit in the Night…
In the stillness of the night, I had a dream unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It was vivid—so real that it felt like I could reach out and touch Him. Jesus came to me in my sleep. The moment I saw Him, I broke down.
I was crying uncontrollably, repenting for everything, repeating through sobs, “I’m sorry, Jesus… I’m so sorry.” I couldn’t lift my head. I felt completely unworthy to even look into His eyes
