Balance Beam

I came to know Jesus in 2007. It wasn't an instant change, more of a process for me. One of questioning, seeking, asking, and knocking on many doors. God captured my heart after 50+ weeks in two celebrate recovery programs, after many Sunday mornings at the Vineyard, after witnessing the energy of youth worshipping the Lord, after the prayers of many loved ones who saw deep into my heart and caught a glimpse of what God had in store.

I remember one of the first books I read as a new Christian was called, The Barbarian Way, by Erwin McManus. If you have read this book or would like to read through my notes (CLICK HERE), you will get a better sense of who I am in Christ and how I hope to go all out for God. The last two books I have read were titled Unstoppable Force and Hearing God's Whispers and Having the Guts to do Something about it. As I read through the stories of the Bible and through these titles, God continues to shape my heart to take risks, to challenge the normal, to avoid the boring and mediocre and to experience the great things that He has in store. Even at the Vineyard we hear over and over again about stepping out in F-A-I-T-H which we spell as R-I-S-K and vice versa.

I watch Francis Chan in this balance beam video (CLICK HERE) and I get so fired up!! It is with this fire that we will run 2Coats on all levels. I would love to walk the balance beam with you, supporting one another, taking risks, avoiding the boring and the mundane, cannon balling right into the center of where He needs us to be, inspiring lives with the gifts that he has given us, and getting set up in a front row seat to watch Him move in people.
