For almost my Christian life I have been strangely against the unity of the Church. Why? Probably because like most people I have been hurt deeply by people in the Church and in efforts to protect myself I have distanced myself from it. That was the way I felt until I went on the World Race last January and experienced what true community was. Now it's hard not to be apart of the world changing movement that is the Church.

I have to admit that right now one of the hardest things I'm dealing with and experiencing is the loneliness of doing an Ask The Lord (ATL - see Mark 6:7-8) with only the Holy Spirit to comfort and guide me. It's been quite the journey so far and already I've seen God show up in many ways, but I would like to share this experience with someone else as well.
Many people have suggested to me that I need to go with one other person as "it is Biblical." While Jesus did send everyone out in two's, I also realized they didn't have the Holy Spirit living inside of them. That's why I'm so okay with doing this ATL with Him right now. But I feel as awesome as it is to go with just me and Him, my heart is longing for something more. We were created to live in radical community and that's what I need.
Please help me spread the word about what I'm doing. If you know someone or have questions please contact me. My information is located in the footnotes at the bottom of this page.
I'm not entirely sure when or where God is going to have this other person show up, but I hope it is soon. I feel so small right now compared to the rest of the World, but I know He is with me and guiding me. Prayers of protection are greatly appreciated!
I have a few interviews this week and may start filming today! Be on the lookout for my next blog this upcoming Thursday (1/23/14).
