Illuminate

I went to a David Crowder concert on Saturday. I was a bit hesitant about going—I’ve always loved the band and “O Praise Him” is my favorite worship song, but essentially I talked myself into going. It turned out to be an amazing night. Long ago I realized that concerts are a passion of mine, and the band did not disappoint. I was in the second row (about 10 feet from the stage), and was thrilled to hear “O Praise Him” live.

Later I met Crowder, and it was cool to talk to the man behind a song that I have listened to hundreds of times. It was a great evening, and I don’t regret going.

The next day at church, a guy from Youth With A Mission (YWAM) spoke and told us about Loren Cunningham, the founder. Cunningham has personally traveled to every nation on earth because he felt led to literally “take the gospel to all nations.”

I was deeply struck by Cunningham’s faith. I consider myself incredibly passionate, but it’s difficult for me to fathom physically traveling to every nation in the world and sharing my beliefs. The talk left me with more than a little to think about and mull over.
