Irresistable Revolution

I've been reading "Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller. This book makes Following christ come alive, like an adventure. It reminds me of "The Irresistable Revolution" by Shane Claiborne.
It makes my walk with God come alive. It makes me want to drop everything right now, goto NYC, or Dallas, or even Dublin, London or Paris. I would like to run some kind of business(like a coffee shop or bookstore or even a grocery store) and just share Christ. I would show them that "Christianity" has done a poor job of portraying the true Jesus, and I would tell them that there is a God who loves them. But first I would show them that love.

I've always had a passion for youth. I've always had a passion for dying churches. If I did this, my main focus would still be youth, especially Teens and college students. I feel like If i'm going to do this, I need to plan for it now. I can't wait till i'm old, because then i may lose oppurtunities (most people my age don't respect anyone, much less older people as they tend to tell others what to do.)

...

I find it funny that both times I've come to bible college I find a new reason to leave.

1) Welcome to my life.

2) You said: "I would show them that "Christianity" has done a poor job of portraying the true Jesus, and I would tell them that there is a God who loves them. But first I would show them that love." ...Don't think you're not already doing that. What that woman at IHOP said about you and the Conrads, that's a huge testament to what you are doing there. :)
