Sharing Good Thoughts About
Good Words
Welcome to Raised to Walk! A site for discipleship resources. We publish deep dive Bible studies, Christian commentary, and are dedicated to connecting and growing the community of Christian writers and thinkers.~ C.M. Alvarez, founder
Update: August 2024
However, based on the posts that have been particularly targeted, I believe I and all my platforms are being targeted and sabotaged because I have spoken out against Senator Ted Cruz.
This is a violation of my First Amendment right as a U.S. citizen. All of my platforms are being suppressed. I appreciate any support and suggestion you have to offer. Until further notice, please contact me at raisedtowalk on proton.me.

The Posts Ted Cruz Doesn’t Want You to Read
Below are the posts that have been particularly targeted in an effort to sabotage them and wipe them out of search. Search results are being sabotaged with wrong urls indexed. I have redirected them as I come across them.
Also sabotaged are my Sunday Thoughts weekly updates where I share thoughts for the week and give an update on our immigration efforts with Afghan Christians. The perpetrators have twice hacked the AWS account where the mp3 files are stored. As of today, they have locked me out of access as they were able to fake my login and secure it with a security key on a USB, which only they have. I have the files. I can upload them elsewhere. However this will take time.
Why are they so threatened by these updates? Because I provide factual information regarding immigration and back up everything I say with documentation whereas Ted Cruz lies continually.
Because of this, because Ted Cruz lies and my words highlight that he is, I believe this is why my site has been sabotaged. This is not the only reason, there has also been wholesale theft of everything I have written; however, I believe the intensity of the attacks are because we are approaching an election that Ted Cruz is trying to win in a state where no one likes him. So their campaign “strategy” is to try to take out a third-grade Sunday school teacher who has been teaching Bible studies to Afghans.

On Hanukkah and Hypocrites: An Open Letter to Ted Cruz
The post that started it all written in December 2017. Hanukkah reflections on the importance of standing your ground, and an open letter to Ted Cruz, who did not. This letter calls him out for backing Roy Moore, a known predator. The response? I believe my platforms have been targeted ever since, which is a violation of my First Amendment rights.
You are who you run with Ted Cruz.
On Elections, Faith, and Parties
Another one that drives the unholy horde crazy. Why I no longer vote Republican, and no, it really wasn’t because of Trump. It was because of the sabotage in our local school district and the push to destroy Texas public education.
When Life Seems Overwhelming: Stand Your Ground
Another post that has been sabotaged with fake redirects in search. What did I say in this video? The Ted Cruz is a sellout. He is.
Sunday Thoughts | Kabul Hope Updates
My Sunday updates with reflections for the week and an update on where we are with our efforts to help the Afghan Christians of Kabul Hope church have also been targeted and sabotaged. As of today, I have not had time to go through the years’ worth of updates. However, I believe these updates are being targeted as the only thing some segments of the political sphere seem to be able to campaign upon is lies about immigration (there is no such thing as open borders!). So their solution is to hack, sabotage, and destroy a Bible teacher’s website and social media platforms that is telling the actual story of what it is like in reality.
The Posts About Faith that Bother People
The mildly political posts are not the only posts on the site that have been sabotaged. Below are posts that I have found that have also been targeted. I guess there are some people who don’t want you to know the the Christian faith is something you are supposed to live, not just a Sunday hobby.
What Praying for Revival Looks Like
A post on prayer, repentance and revival written before I started the apologetics program in 2015. This did have an audio version of the post. This seems to have been a post that was sabotaged early with the audio version and podcast episode removed.
Who is Jesus to You?
Being a Christian isn’t about being a fan or having an “affinity” for Jesus. It means something very specific and that very specific meaning makes all the difference.
How to Find God
This article used to consistently in the top five search results in Google for “how to find God.”
Just like the Israelites, we will encounter some giants. Circumstances that seem to make God a liar. The corruption will seem too great, the addiction too strong, or the diagnosis too dire. When the giant you are facing seems too big for God to handle, remember this . . . Jesus was dead. He had been in the grave for three days. When it seemed like it was all over, God proved His power and won the ultimate victory.

A Message to the FBI and Department of Justice
We like to think that crimes are reported and the authorities take action. That is very often not the case. The FBI and Department of Justice have a history of having alternate agendas.
Beth Moore, Do You Know What Your Team is Doing?
Is Beth Moore watching what words are being put in her mouth on her social media profiles? On things that should never be on a Christian’s Twitter page.
The Importance of Phonics
This started to be a discussion on truth and ended up being on the importance of phonics. Reading well is essential to being able to discover truth for ourselves.
