At first listen I wasn’t too interested in Ye and Jay’s latest collaboration, Watch The Throne. But now, it has taken on a whole new meaning. No apologies, head tall and daring yourself to do the impossible. Who Gon Stop Me, huh?

As you have noticed lately, I have not articulated full posts. My intention is for you to read and allow your imagination, creativity and the Holy Spirit to guide you. Your story is the best story. Your life is most important. Make it your own, rock it.

Premise of Church In The Wild

John The Baptist – Wild (lived in the Wild) Mk 1:6

Peter – Wild (cuts off soldiers ear to defend Christ)

Jesus – Wild (cast devils out of man with legion)

Jesus – Fasted in the wild, Bible says with wild beasts. Mk 1:13

Journey to Simplicity

While we all have our own specific journey, the markers on the path from Institutional Church to “simply follow Jesus” are remarkably similar.

1) After much thought, prayer and soul-searching, disconnecting from the IC (i.e. not attending church events anymore).

2) Uneasy freedom (like a cat easing out into the yard) becomes ecstatic freedom (2 year old escaping from the bathtub). No manmade constraints!

3) After the freedom in #2 turns to isolation we yearn to connect with others in His body… but only in a simple/organic/non-heirarchical way.

4) The quest for others who are like-minded begins. This can take a long time.

5) You find others, proceed with caution, acknowledge that we will never agree on every little issue and that how we interact is critical as we seek truth together.

To simply follow Jesus, right here, right now, together… that’s the heart-cry for me, and for more and more folks I meet. How we relate to each other is of critical importance… more important than us getting all our theology right to begin with

I would offer the following as a place to start. http://livewickmedia.com/simply-follow.html

Ever onward.
