I Once Was Lost

I recently finished this book on communicating the Christian faith in today’s postmodern culture by Don Everts and Doug Schaupp. As I read, I found myself intuitively agreeing with the five steps to belief they identify that young people go through today – first, trust a Christian; second, become curious; third, open up to change; fourth, seek after God; and fifth, enter the Kingdom. The author’s observations and insights are helpful and on point and people involved in communicating the Christian faith with young people will agree.

This book is short and practical. This should be resource you own and use if you believe that communicating your faith is worth the time, energy and thought to do it well. FYI – we’ll be giving this book to the students participating in the Cru Study Abroad program starting the fall of 2016.

Light, Gaudi & la Sagrada Familia

“The amount of light should be just right, not too much, not too little, since having too much or too little light can both cause blindness.”

Quote by Antoni Gaudi, architect of la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. To say it simply, this cathedral is the most stunning building I’ve ever seen. My picture does not do it justice. If you keep a bucket list, a visit here should go on it.

Camino de Santiago

Dawn and I will be leading a trip with Cru Global Missions to walk the Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain next fall (September 23 – October 2).  This will be a week of reflection and renewal on a pilgrimage traveled by followers of Jesus for a thousand years.  We’re really excited to go and take folks with us, especially as we’ve just returned from a fabulous trip to Spain.

If you’re interested in joining us, please let me know and I can send you more info. Spots are limited. But so are the opportunities in life to follow in the paths of pilgrims and experience “walking with Jesus” in a new way.
