Break-free-in-me?

Each day we learn from our experiences and we discover more about what is real and what we make up as we go along. Whether we are willing to claim it or not, we are all passionate about something. I have wondered what would happen if I were to let what God has placed on the inside to actually break-free-in-me — passion, gifts, desire, compassion, thoughts, energy, hopes, dreams, failures, talents, ideas, fear, love, Christ...

And I got to thinking... What if I were to actually let Jesus be me? Strange?

These are uncomfortable questions to ponder... Think of inside-out like this: becoming more comfortable with feeling uncomfortable.

With each step of faith we take our walk becomes as natural as the air we breathe. We certainly can't be Jesus (impossible!), but we can allow Jesus to be us -- We can allow what God is doing on the inside to emerge out. My prayer is that I would get out of God's way and allow Christ to break-free-in-me.

Discover, claim, and live...

Thoughts about Sunday...

DateMonday, January 19, 2009 at 10:20PM


Sunday was awesome. If you have missed the first two weeks of the series I am doing, "My New Bucket List" you may not want to miss this coming Sunday. Barbara Jordan's video testimony was powerful, talking about how she was struggling with a bunch and struggling to let go and trust God more.

God continues to blow me away. I have had more feedback from this past Sunday about how the topic/message — "Changing Behavior" — and Barbara's video really hit home for them for so many people. It was real, and powerful. Worship that morning was just gripping and special — hard to explain... Very meaningful and impacting for me.

Then we had our first FAITHREMIX gathering in the evening. It was originally just scheduled as an informational gathering time, but it turned into a time of worship! Bryant Hodges and his band, Delivered, came out to just lead some music and God showed up. Imagine that! For those of you who don't know, FAITHREMIX is our new young adult ministry at FaithWalk, focusing on developing a worship culture for emerging generations. Primarily it is for 18 to 28-year-olds, but the worship will engage those who are transitioning from high school to college, and those who grew up in the MTV age. We are really excited about this new opportunity. Bryant and the band are pumped, as are a number of people!

God is doing a lot of "changing" in a lot of ways. That is pretty dang awesome... Kinda makes you wonder what might happen next. It's been like that a lot at FaithWalk for a while now. That in itself reminds me of Sunday morning... In order to hear God's call you have to be in the right place and posture. Remember? God asks, "Where are you?" (Genesis 3:9).

Heck, it's only Monday and I am already looking forward to what God is going to do this coming Sunday! Don't miss it! Part 3 (the conclusion) of "My New Bucket List," Embracing God.

Where are you?
