About Jay

I am Jay Tripp. I am that friend who knows everything about you and gives great advice! Welcome to my blog and online advice page. I am using this space to offer my ministry gifts and feedback to the world. It is so hard for me to talk about myself, so I will make this as painless as possible (for myself). Let us start with the obvious; I love to write! It is a gift that comes quite easily to me. I can recall in my freshman year of college how I wrote my first research paper two hours before the paper was due. Listen, do not do that, ever! I have been writing various mediums of material for a long time.

I have written three books in my lifetime. One is published, Coping with Transitional Milestones. I’ve also published a fiction series called, The Bow. This series deals with issues within the LGBTQ community and our struggle to become adults in a society that is against us. It also highlights the young adult journey of being LGBTQ and trying to navigate dating, careers, and self-healing. Discover more about my books on my author website.

I was ordained into Christian ministry in 2011 with about three years of ministry training, giving me a cumulative total of nearly ten years in deliverance ministry. My life has been one that has evolved, and so far, the greatest lesson I have learned is that we are placed here for self-discovery. The thing about ourselves that we are to discover is that we were created to love and receive love. That is our ultimate truth. I have learned that the love we are supposed to give and receive must start with how we love ourselves and stand in our truth. I can pull the drive and passion for writing about various subjects from this energy. It is my ministry experience that gives me the passion for writing about things that help people make it through this thing called life. My business training gives me a passion for writing about leadership, self-improvement, and goal attainment. Lastly, it’s the fact that I am a black gay man that gives me the passion for writing about social injustices and speaking up for the underdog.
