The Start

I’m on a reckless pursuit to know Him more. I’m on a reckless pursuit to introduce others to the Lord of my life. I’m on a reckless pursuit to become more like Him. I’m hell-bent for Jesus.

Hell-bent (adj.): determined to achieve something at all costs, reckless pursuit.

Reckless (adj.): without thinking or caring about the consequences of an action

I’m currently reading “Love Wins” by Rob Bell, and yes, I do know what people think about Rob Bell but I figured I would create my own opinion about the guy and His theology rather than buy into anyone else’s opinion. In his book he raises and answers many questions about heaven and hell, using his interpretations of what the bible teaches. He describes the phrase “hell-bent,” as people who will go to the gates of hell to achieve something, to reach a goal. As I read this, I realized this is exactly what Jesus did. He shouldered every sin man ever committed, and suffered entrance into the gates of hell. He recklessly pursues freedom for His kingdom.

As Christians, or “little Christs,” it is our purpose and calling to become more like Him. It is our mission to recklessly pursue freedom for His kingdom, at all costs. Welcome to the life we are invited to live, a reckless pursuit for Jesus, a hell-bent confidence for the Author of the world.

God has called me to a beautiful place, Malibu Club, about 100 miles north of Vancouver, British Columbia located on the Princess Louisa Inlet. This Young Life camp has been serving high school students since 1954. God blessed me with he chance to serve as the kitchen intern this summer. Each week for eleven weeks, 300 high school students will experience Malibu and the redemptive power of Jesus Christ.

It is my hope to share in this blog, the incredible encounters I experience with Jesus Christ.
