Why the 12 Disciples Still Matter—And Why You’ve Probably Misunderstood Them

Profiles in Righteousness – Series Introduction

This isn’t just a Bible series. It’s a personal reset, a creative foundation, and the starting point for a much bigger journey—one that includes you.

Why I’m Doing This

I’ve been a Christian all my life. But in this new season—with tools like AI, ChatGPT, and my own site—I’m going back through the lives of the 12 disciples on purpose.

Part of it is for me: to revisit, test, and sharpen what I believe.

But the bigger reason is this: I’m building the Jack Righteous Universe—a creative project that places fictional characters (like Jack Righteous) into storylines shaped by real biblical people and principles.

You’ll hear more about that as things grow. For now, I’m starting where it matters most: with the 12 Jesus chose first.

What This Series Covers

You’ve probably heard their names. But most people have never looked deeper than the surface. This series changes that.

Each disciple’s article walks through:

• What we know before they met Jesus

• What happened during the three years of His ministry

• What they did afterward

• What we can still learn from them today

And yes, it’s all research-based. No fluff. No filler. Just the truth—and how it still applies now.
