The What & Who
Hello and welcome to Biblically Shaped Ministries!
What started in 2007 by Chris Davis as a simple blog to edify Christians and encourage them to let their lives be shaped by the one and only divine Word of God has since turned into a biblical discipleship ministry.
The purpose of BSM remains the same as it was in 2007: to help shape lives by the truth of the divine Word of God. Today this purpose is being accomplished not solely through blogs-articles, but also through discipleship/leadership development, books, teaching/speaking engagements, connecting Christians and churches with a wide range of resources, and in other ways as it progresses.
Chris is an average, urban guy who loves Jesus and wants to be used by Him for His glory. He is a husband of 24 years and a father of 3. His passion and calling is discipleship.
Chris has had a unique ministry experience. He has served as an appointed leader in various areas of church ministry since 2007 and has been public speaking and teaching in many forums since 2005. In 2007, and then again in 2015, Chris told his wife he discerned God calling them to “white spaces” to be biblical bridge builders regarding cross-ethnic and cross-cultural understanding. This has afforded him the space to disciple in urban and suburban contexts with insight, grace, and forthrightness.
Chris was ordained to pastoral ministry in 2011 and pastored a couple of churches in California until July 2019. He has a Biblical Studies degree from Liberty University and is currently the Senior Pastor of Northwest Baptist Church in Reisterstown, MD.
BSM is a broader platform to contribute to the ministry of the truth and gospel of Jesus Christ. The prayer is that whether you come to this site once or often, this ministry, in some way, will spur you on in your faith to love God, know His Word, love others, grow in your discipleship, and make more disciples of Jesus.
