There are so many people asking big questions, questions
beyond, beyond like your job and your kids and your money and things like that -
people are asking spiritual questions.
In all of our hearts seems to be this desire to
find out what's really going on,
what's really happening.
Exploring God to me is just like, it's a part of who we are.
We're constantly in this search for meaning, we're constantly in this search for
purpose, we're constantly
searching for something that is outside of ourselves, and
I even love that word "explore" 'cause it indicates that it's a journey.
Personally, I mean just where I'm at in my life, I, I think it's
it's important to know why I'm here on the planet and when I lay my head on
the pillow at night, I begin to ask those big questions of
alright, there's gotta be more to this life than, than what I see
and what I experience because at the end of the day,
my heart gets very discontent, and so that just
leads me to asking the questions of - okay, there's gotta be more and if there
is more, then what is that more?
Is this really real, you know? What if it's all in my imagination?
I would go on two kinds of journeys,
I guess. I would go on an inward journey and ask what do I really believe? And then I'd go
on an outward journey and ask,
"God, if you're there, have you made yourself known in some way
in the whole story of the world?" You know, I find that
that people so quickly and easily write it off but they never actually
take the time to search and you know, I used to think the same thing. I'm, I
remember sitting there you know, hearing this stuff and I'd think,
how do they know Jesus is the Son of God? I mean, who says?
And you know, how do you know it's not just myth? I mean, there've been lotsa people who claim
you know, they're Gods or the Son of God.
I thought it was myth, but I just hadn't taken the time to really
look.
