You have set him on fire….

FINALLY. this post is here! maybe long- anticipated, maybe not. It’s here regardless.

At Passion, I met a guy named Jordan. Jordan’s a haircutting mastermind, and also the man. Dude says he used to “spend Grace”, but as I watched him at Passion, sitting through Giglio, Piper, Chan and worship with Hall, Crowder, Redman, Stanfill,  and Tomlin, I watched literally as this guy had his “Road to Damascus” interruption.

From what I know, he’s known all his life about faith, and his dad (also a mastermind with scissors) has been an incredible influence, but after a successful open heart surgery session, and then Passion, Jordan has literally been ON FIRE in his faith. Video after video, small group after small group, study after study, and many different times of diving into the word. I’m overwhelmed. It’s INCREDIBLE to watch, to see a friend completely giving it his all.

He’s got this passion you don’t see in people anymore. Unashamed, he makes his choices as if he were Paul, BAFFLING his friends with his determination and love of the father. And if you’re lucky enough to know him, you know he gives everything to Christ, and will tell you how sure he is that everything that has happened in the past has led to that moment, as just a part of his story, a story that’s been orchestrated from birth by the God who created him. He’s an inspiration. And I’m blessed to know him.
