By its nature the human soul is Christian; Christianity is always adopted by people as something forgotten and suddenly remembered.
Leo Tolstoy
Last week I was blessed with the opportunity to take off for a week with a group of leaders from CRM. I spent the first couple of days yearning for the depth I saw in these guys, as if they were living their true nature, something I had seemed to have forgotten over the tough weeks and months before.
I was reminded of how much I need a community of faith around me, our collective momentum pulling me deeper into God and pushing me outward in mission. It was as if I was trying to remember the rhythm of what God has been doing in my life.
That rhythm, carries me along to a place where I will join God in helping others remember the true nature of their souls. Shaping communities of faith and living life in a way that inspires those that are lost to remember and find redemption as followers of Christ, lost only because they have forgotten the way.
Nearing the end of the week I heard the rhythm, something forgotten and suddenly remembered, and began to let it carry me once again.

Tyler, I loved this and it inspired me to ‘remember the true nature of my soul’. I like the idea that people are lost only because they have forgotten the way…
