Killing Zombies

Have you ever attended a church where the service, celebration, Sunday school, small group, ministries, and meetings all became so similar and predictable that your heart and your mind begin to get numb to it? Have you ever felt like a zombie? I have been a part of many different churches and ministries in the past 12 years and I have seen this all over the place. Maybe I am just the sort of person who needs to have occasional changes in my life to keep things exciting and new. When I begin to feel the numbness with a ministry I am involved in, I feel that something must shift or change to keep my interest and passion in it. Everywhere I have ever gone in ministry, school, or a job, I have found myself in the role of a change agent. At first it sounds really cool, but I have met more opposition than support when I begin expressing my desires for change. It often feels like I am beating on a brick wall when I encounter opposition and it can be lonely some times. You would think that after a while I would give up. I think that for a time I did give up in certain areas of my life. But after a while, the fire rages inside of me and I have to act. This is the way that I am wired. I don’t like being a zombie and I want to free other zombies so that we can experience a full and rich life with a true, connected, and authentic relationship with God. I am a zombie killer. I want to break the shell that you are in. I want to peel away the layers so that you can breathe fresh clean air. I know this freedom and I will stop at nothing to share that with other people.
