The Journey of a Family Striving to Live Dangerously Surrendered!


"Surrendering means that we have come to the end of our independence from him, our reliance on self-sufficiency, and our insistence that we don’t need him. Surrender to God changes everything! Why add the word dangerous to surrender? Because we don’t surrender to a benevolent but impotent grandfatherly figure; we surrender to Almighty God —the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. C. S. Lewis’s character Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia depicts God as a magnificent lion —good, but certainly not safe. Surrendering your life to God is the boldest and riskiest step you can take. Being dangerously surrendered to God allows you to know him in increasingly deeper ways and to participate fully in his will. " ~Kay Warren

Horn Creek Colorado





We had an amazing time as always at our annual trip to Horn Creek, Colorado. It is a family retreat and this year we had 70 people. The services were powerful, with Kurt preaching one and showing a Louie Giglio video for the other. THe youth did their amazing black light presentation to "Who Am I" by Casting Crowns and it was just an awesome time. It's a unique time of reflection in the beautiful mountains. The entire time we were there we kept thinking that next year we will have two new kids with us. What fun that will be!
