God In The Ordinary: Ryan George God In The Ordinary

Do you think of yourself as an adventurer?  Perhaps you enjoy extreme sports or take delight in activities that keep you on the edge of your seat?  In this episode Sharon Tedford talks with avid adventurer, author and podcaster, Ryan George, who helps us to learn that living a Jesus life is the most exciting voyage we’ll ever make.  He has found he's able to communicate more honestly with God as he undertakes adrenaline-charged experiences and invigorating pursuits.  Ryan tells us some tales of where God has met him in his moments of surrender and how something as simple as thankfulness has become a frequent part of his daily practice; about his newest and most exhilarating adventure of adoption, sharing the uplifting story of how that came about for him and his wife.  God interrupted the life direction that Ryan had so carefully laid out for himself, and this new role of being a dad has shown that God loves to out-dream us.  We learn how submitting to God’s way leads to some beautiful and life-changing outcomes.  Ryan talks about how he reveals God to others whilst on the side of mountains, and how he frequently discusses the truth of Jesus in his church parking lot.  He clearly has a passion for sharing the gospel and has learned how to recognize and respond to the voice of God no matter where he is.  Even if you don’t identify yourself as someone who enjoys adventure, Ryan helps us see that the Christian life is an adventure and that following God’s plans for us with honest vulnerability, will lead to a life that reveals God to others.  This episode will encourage you to pray more intentionally and to step outside of your comfort zone as you see where Jesus meets us in the adventure of Christian faith.
