| Introduction | I want to radically serve God with my life and in all that I do. I believe that very few people ever get to experience the full life offered by God, because they are afraid to leave their comfort zones. That was me up until a few years ago. Since then, God has shown me life like I’ve never known. Now, I see it as my mission in life to tell everyone about the life that God wants for us- not only in heaven, but right here and right now as well. Jesus came to rescue us from death and hell, yes... but he rarely talked about it. He spoke more about getting people into life here on earth. Many people miss that, and start to see Jesus as only a ticket to heaven. The truth is, there is an abundant life available right now. God can give it to anyone. We’re all ragged, but God can use us no matter where we happen to be. I think that sometimes I have more faith in my ability to mess up than I have in God’s ability to not let me. God is bigger than our mistakes, and He wants to do amazing things through us. Many people think I’m crazy, but I don’t care. So far, I’ve done things and seen things that I never could have imagined. It’s been an extreme and wild ride, and I’m lovin’ it! |
