Vision
Wrecked is an online publication born out of a movement. We're members of a generation that is not content to view the world through the drab lens of materialism and hand-me-down religion. We want more. We want to live life on purpose, actively participating in every gift God has given us.
We want to leave this world in a different state than the one in which we found it. Maybe we're a scrap of conversation that has been going on for years; maybe we're a voice in the wilderness. Whatever has come before us, we want our voice to be authentic. And we want to be heard.
We won't settle for the comfortable; we won't negotiate our time and space in history. We recognize that we're misfits, and that may not be a bad thing. We don't want to drift through life, as a broken world groans for redemption. We are Wrecked for the Ordinary.
Mission
Wrecked seeks to awaken and challenge its readers to follow Jesus, the greatest misfit that ever lived, in a world that has been numbed by pop Christianity.
We want to help our readers embrace radical lifestyles in their local context and to connect to the world around them through engaging in incarnational living. In other words, if someone reads a Wrecked article, and nothing about their life changes, then we haven't done our jobs.
We do not just seek what is, but rather what should be.
Staff
Jeff Goins is the founder and editor-in-chief of Wrecked. He and a few friends launched the website in January 2007 with the vision of sharing stories about how people "got wrecked" by God.
He has lived in Nashville, TN for the past two years, recently got married, and works out of his home. His responsibilities include managing the other staff editors (they're a wild bunch!), research and development, answering as many comments as he can, obsessing over how many visitors we get each month, and hunting down cool people to interview.
He loves blogging, reading several books at a time (actually finishing some of them), and eating sushi from the grocery store. You can visit his blog at Pilgrimage of the Heart.
Sarah Fujimoto hails originally from Illinois, but has since lived in every corner of the country except the southeast. She believes life is a great journey and adventure and is in the process of seeing where that takes her day to day and beyond.
Creating things and merging different art forms together brings her life. On days off you can find her writing, reading, napping, beaching, sewing, painting, taking photos, staring at people, dancing, trying to breakdance, and enjoying a good cup of tea or joe with inspirational people.
Art and justice are passions of hers, but more simply loving others and seeking what that means takes the forefront. The future is wide open, but she is learning that she must seize and take hold of the present.
You can find her searching for pomegranates here, on her blog.
Jesse Medina is an old soul who loves to read, write, and talk theology and believes most things are better while smoking a cigar.
He graduated from Vanguard University where he studied to be a pastor. One day, he hopes to be in full-time ministry
as a youth or college pastor. In the meantime he enjoys doing
volunteer work with his local church and working with a Christian
marketing organization as a writer/project manager.
Some of the things that bring him joy in life are Dr. Pepper; his dog, Ace; his cat, Lola; Italian food; LOST; anything Apple makes; and his beautiful wife, Cassie – not in that order.
You can visit his blog where he struggles to figure out how to live in the now, but not yet.
