Wisdom from Australia

Sometimes others are able to articulate what I'm feeling so much better than I can. In this case, the Backyard Missionary does an excellent job of articulating the danger I feel like I'm struggling with as we've moved back to Moses Lake, and I'm in a role that doesn't require me to engage with people nearly as much as my role as youth pastor or substitute teacher did.

It’s a battle, no doubt – comfort vs. risk – but I truly want to pursue the “wild goose” life, even when I have to fight myself and my culture to figure out what that looks like at 40, and then do it."
