Gush

I would just like to take a minute to gush on our Radiate students.

I am so proud of them, and so thankful to God for the work He is doing in their lives. We have quite a range of students in our group, all on different places in their walk with God. Some are completely sold out for Christ, ready to take the Nations for His glory. Others are seeking, asking questions, and not ready to commit their lives to Christ just yet. Quite a lot of them are somewhere in the middle, not yet fully understanding what it means to live a Christian life.

Each stage is exciting to see and be a part of. I’m blessed and encouraged by the commitment of those who are fully given to Christ. They are like partners in ministry and have an irreplaceable role in helping us develop and execute our vision for Radiate. I’m stretched and challenged by those that are seeking. Their questions keep me sharp, forcing me to not only know what to think, but to know how to think. This is a very good thing. And for those that are in the middle…..I cannot explain the joy that comes from watching Christ bring about newness and restoration in their lives. We are seeing many of our students make monumentally mature decisions about their actions and attitudes right now, many times at the sake of their own reputation. It shows that they are giving themselves fully to Christ, and it is beautiful to behold. It makes me stop and sigh and say, "Wow....there is nothing God cannot do."
