Today, we are proud to bring you a joint venture: Odd Man Out. We are currently working towards our Masters of Divinity at George Fox Evangelical Seminary. Out of the midst of our lives from around the country, God has brought us all together in one place to strengthen, support, and guide each other through and in a passionate relationship with Christ.
We launched this blog to bring some of that support directly to you. We believe some of the greatest ways to find passion and support is hearing the stories and insights gathered from others. The four of us come from different walks of life and different places in the country; not two of us live in the same state! Yet we have managed to take us from one level in our spiritual journeys to an even greater and deeper level. Our hope is that through our blog, we will help guide you.
Let us be honest with you a moment: none of our insights come from powerful intellectual moments; instead, they are a result of something we experienced in our lives that caused us to stumble. Through propping each other up, we have managed to take those trips, stumbles, and even falls, turning them into something which strengthens our relationships with our families, each other, and—most especially—the God we love and cherish. Likely, our stories and blurbs will be something similar to what you've experienced, or perhaps are experiencing already. Our hope is that you may genuinely take away from our lives a small nugget which guides you towards the piece of mind for which you are looking.
May God bless you, guide you, and keep you safe.
Dan, Kevin, Mat, and Matt
Just a brief disclaimer: many of my insights may well "come from powerful intellectual moments." Brace yourself for the onslaught of brilliance.
ReplyDeleteIf things are going really well, you'll find the authors poking fun of each other, calling each other out, and challenging much of what is posted. Please (really, please) join in. I plan on having a bunch of fun and hopefully making a few people uncomfortable. That's awfully difficult to do in isolation.
Havruta!
