Why do you serve with the rock shows?
It gives me the oppurtunity to feel like I am making a difference, not only within my own community, but globally; and it really proves that anyone can make a change in the world. Plus I love music so much, and i like watching bands perform and performing at times myself!
Why do you attend the Overcomers group on Tuesday nights? Because it feeds a thirst that I have for community and outreach. It really gets me more in touch with how I feel about God and how I view others around me, especially those who go to Overcomers group. I feel closer to them because I share conversations with God that i may not be able to with other people I know
>What is your favorite "God moment"?
This one time, I went to some christian thingy at my old high school, and they did the ol 'who wants to have that change? raise your hand' {while everyones eyes were closed}. Then they did something different, they asked everyone to open their eyes and see all the people with their hands raised. All the christian things I attended prior had people raise their hands and pray in secrecy, which almost was reaffirming that no one should know your relationship with God. But the fact that they made everyone see everyones hands up, and even made the people with their hands up (like me) come down in front of everyone really changed my perspective of religion... how it shouldnt be hidden. This kid came up to me and started talking to me, and prophetically said 'u know, we're all not perfect, God's not asking you to be perfect, he just wants you to love him'. It was as if that kid had read my thoughts, because that was one of the things holding me back all these years from Christianity. Now I'm not afraid to say I'm Christian, and I'm not afraid to admit that I'm not perfect.
