Just read this from Mike Yaconelli’s book, Dangerous Wonder…
“The Christian Life is more than finding Jesus–it is following Jesus. Following, it turns out, is not a one time, spectacular act of faith, but a one-day-at-a-time, ordinary, unspectacular following; a daily act of fearlessness that takes us through the most frightening and rugged terrain to a place of peace, joy, and abandon.” – p62
That just blew me away, I have a feeling that I will be posting a ton of stuff up from this book. If you get a chance read everything you can from Mike Yaconelli. You may not agree with everything he wrote but he inspired a generation of youth leaders to rethink youth ministry and life. Go check him out!
