Of all the chapters and video sessions, this one pierces my heart. I am totally exposed by my lack of risk taking. I always justified not doing something because of the urgent warning the flooded my mind, "this is not safe!" I thought that that was the Lord telling me to play it cool. I wasted several decades of my life living in fear of myself. It's over. I don't know how, but this charade is over and I am falling on my knees before the greatest adventure taker who ever walked the face of earth: Jesus Christ.
Really amazing message here. I can totally relate. I’ve been looking to dive deeper with the Lord, and feel the adventure that he has for us. Getting out of your comfort zone and trusting Him is what it’s all about #wildatheart
I feel like I don't know how to have a relationship with God. I've tried and tried but I have a lot of trouble with knowing what he's saying and what he's not saying to me. Like how am I supposed to have a relationship with someone I can't see, hear, or touch?
You can’t have an intimate relationship without intentionality. I too struggled with this. Unplug from the world. Take a day and get out of town or the city and escape to the woods. For me, I love finding a lake, a secluded spot away from hikers and bike trails. I bring my Bible and I invite God in to sit along side me. It calms my mind. I take in all the beautiful creation around me and the peacefulness. I listen and read scripture to really feel connected to His word. Sometimes I can hear Him. Sometimes He speaks through what I’m reading. Try it and I think you’ll find this to be a good way to connect with God!
Hey man, thanks for posting this. I can relate in some ways. I would say a few things. 1. Remover distractions: for example social media and cell phone etc. 2. Find a quiet place to pray in secret. 3. Listen to Christian worship and pour out your heart to him. 4. Get into a Bible believing church and small group. Hope this helps man :)
I had my greatest revelation when sitting alone in my pickup. I’ve had almost constant battles for decades… sitting alone in my vehicle at night or day and just being still allows me to sense His presence. Love to everyone!
Thanks to all for the replies! It’s just I’ve struggled with intense intrusive thoughts and religious OCD, even to the point of hearing a fake “God” voice micromanaging my decisions. Been through a lot, but I’m through the thick of it, I just struggle to trust that the voice is authentically God, because many times in the past it hasn’t been.
How can I go from not knowing anything about outdoor survival and backpacking to going on multiple day backcountry excursions? How can I learn the things that my dad did not teach me?
Keep up this amazing content! Christ is King! Nothing better than being in the outdoors seeking adventure and having God by our side.

“The amount of risk that you are willing to live with is a direct indication of your belief about God”
Wow, this is powerful.
“To live your whole life in a way where God has to show up”

Love it. Saw this the day before I left for a week long elk hunt.

Keep trying and asking. He will reveal Himself. He delights in you

Great question and this message speaks to it: bit.ly/4cgKzLZ
