Mushroom eater

I started reading the Barbarian Way by Erwin McManus, and this is a great book.

Erwin talks about how Christianity has become civilized and we are expecting to be kept safe in the arms of our savior, and if we are in the center of the will of God, then we will be safe. Because in the center of the will of God is the safest place to be. Erwin says this is what the civilized Christianity says, but true barbaric Christians know that being in the will of God might lead to death. I mean look at the disciples and John the Baptist and Jesus. Jesus hung on a cross, is that safe? John the Baptist was beheaded! Jesus calls us out of our comfort zones and calls us to go. He does not tell us our lives will be a walk in a rose garden. He needs us to go and fight for the heart of our King!

He is calling us to be innovators, to eat the mushroom. Think about it, who ate fish eggs and made them a delicase? Or how about snails? If not ever tries mushrooms would we have gotten the Portabelo? If we all stay in our nice safe box of Christianity will the world ever hear the truth?

Be a mushroom eater and boldly fight for the heart of our King!
