About the Author - Juan Nieto III
My Life in Christ
Welcome to “Contend for the Faith.” Together with my wife Andrea and our two children, Felix and Logan, we are active members of Reformation Church Tulsa, Tulsa, Oklahoma. We are deeply passionate about serving and encouraging the body of Christ, dedicating our lives to ministry and strengthening our church community.
In pursuit of equipping myself for ministry, I have completed coursework in Biblical Studies, including Old and New Testament Survey and Christian Theology, as part of my journey toward a Master’s degree in Biblical Studies. Additionally, I have a deep passion for reaching the lost and fulfilling the Great Commission, as Jesus commands in Matthew 28:19-20. To further equip myself, I completed Living Waters’ online School of Biblical Evangelism, which enhanced my understanding of sharing the Gospel and effectively ministering to those who do not yet know Christ.
I currently serve at Reformation Church Tulsa in Tulsa, Oklahoma. My goal is to grow in godliness and strive to be above reproach, as outlined in 1 Timothy 3:2, so that I may faithfully lead and teach others. Studies such as Becoming a Biblical Leader and Men Counseling Men have equipped me with valuable resources for spiritual leadership and discipleship. I seek to show myself approved unto God (2 Timothy 2:15), rightly dividing the word of truth as I pursue this training.
I recently completed IBCD’s Biblical Counseling: The Care & Discipleship Course and am excited to now be pursuing certification with the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC). This training has been such a blessing, sharpening my understanding of how God’s Word speaks into the struggles of everyday life, whether anxiety, depression, marriage conflicts, or other challenges we face in a broken world.
My desire is to keep growing in faith and ministry while walking alongside others with the truth and hope found in Christ. Biblical counseling is not about quick fixes, but about pointing people to lasting transformation through God’s Word, where real encouragement and healing are found.
My Baptism Testimony
In this video, I share a brief testimony of God’s transforming grace in my life. Through His sovereign work, He brought me from darkness to light, redeeming me through Christ.
In obedience to His Word, and by His grace alone, I am now being baptized as a public declaration of my faith in Jesus Christ.
This moment represents the inward change He has made in me, marking my union with Christ in His death and resurrection. Soli Deo Gloria.
