Thinking Out Loud on “Church” | Part 3

This is the third post in a series.

Patrick here, again.

When I think of the times throughout my life where I experienced Christ, those experiences may surprise others.

I remember Brother Bob doing a talent show skit as Elvis, popping out of a coffin singing blue suede shoes.

I think of pot-luck dinners.

I think of when we hosted the Polks at our house while they sought Missionary support in Baltimore.

I remember playing soccer with kids at an orphanage in Ethiopia.

What seems to be the common thread is other people. This seems strange to me, being introverted and all, but it is true. There is something very powerful in that communal experience that I so deeply value. How can someone like me, who has anxiety over experiences with people that I do not know, find such joy and peace in such experiences? I can only come to one conclusion: Christ.

In what situations have you most strongly experienced Christ?
