Hey guys, Brad here. Just thought I should give you a quick update. Recently I decided to re-energize my blog, and actually post something about my life (with a little pestering from my fellow Evergreen Staff)
Dude, life has been awesome. My time at camp has definitely stretched me and taught me about my abilities as a leader and what I personally need to sacrifice to become an effective steward for Christ. Sometimes sacrifice is hard. I mean like really hard. It is so easy for us as Christians to just walk through life and not actually take our faith seriously.
I have definitely been pushed by my best-friend Felicity in this certain area of my Christian walk. Bless her heart, for pushing me to be a better me.
I have been called to live a radical life for Jesus, and nothing short of radical. If I don't drastically change my walk with God and don't sacrifice for him as Jesus sacrificed for me, then how can I say that I lived out my faith? "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven." (Matthew 7:21 ESV)
I know that as a believer I need to step up to the plate; God expects me to not just watch the pitches pass by but to hit the Grand Slam and be proud that I did so! God is good, and he is definitely helping me change my outlook on my Christian walk, and what I need to do to live a radical life for Christ.
