Experiencing the Gospel

The Gospel is IN everything, it CHANGES everything, and it IS everything.

It’s everywhere we look if we can only perceive it;

In our personal lives, our jobs, and our relationships,

In the people we see, the challenges we face, and the faults we find in ourselves,

In the sun and the rain, the light and the darkness, and the calm and the storm.

It can change everything in our lives if we only let it;

Our marriages, friendships, and hearts,

Our struggles, pain, and hopelessness,

Our hopes, our dreams, and aspirations.

There is nothing without the Gospel, it is everything;

It is a game-changer, something that should alter every aspect of how we think, live, and love,

We simply can’t experience the Gospel and go on with our lives as usual,

It demands all of our hearts and is the only hope we have.

In the next 10 entries or so, I will explore different ways that I have experienced the Gospel – in my own life, as I’ve seen it play out in others, in art and culture, and so on. Whether you’re an avid Christian or haven’t been to church in years, I hope that these entries are honest, interesting, and vulnerable enough to warrant reading every day or every once in awhile.

I don’t claim to be a scholar, theologian, or anything of the sort, so you may disagree with some of my ideas. And that’s fine. All I ask is that you give me grace and dialogue with me to help me see things from your point of view or to correct my wrong ideas.

So bookmark this site, send a link to your friends, subscribe as a follower so you can be notified of updates, or simply check back from time to time. I hope you will find that it’s worth your time and helps you to see and experience God and his Gospel in new and profound ways. -CK
