Our stomachs growled and our eyelids fell heavy as we grabbed our stuff and headed for the van we arrived in just a few hours earlier. The evening was spent praying throughout the village, playing with the kids and ended with a short overview of the gospel to any listening ear. This was the third … Continue reading He Got Up And Walked Away
By Jeff Goins, Editor I went to see Eat, Pray, Love last weekend with my wife, and much to my surprise, I didn’t hate it. I bought this New York Times bestseller for her just before our taking a trip to New York City for Labor Day last year, so it only seemed appropriate to … Continue reading Eat, Pray, Love: It’s Not That Bad
By Andrew Greenhalgh It’s funny how quickly life takes a turn on you. One moment you’re playing a kid-concocted combo of Indiana Jones, Star Wars – with a liberal dose of Rambo – and The Karate Kid, tossed in to keep things interesting, and the next you’re married with kids, have an 8 to 5 … Continue reading O Adventure, Where Art Thou
By Brooke Luby Well, I am home. It’s been a journey, to say the least. India for me has been a love-hate relationship. I didn’t think I could cope at first. It was an odd feeling, me being the adventurous world traveler. It felt like too much-too many old women with hands left as stubs … Continue reading Drawing a Line in the Sand

What initially caused you to consider pursuing a project like 180? We always create products that we personally want to use. In this … Continue reading Interview with Bruce Nuffer: Exploring the 180 Project

In a spiritual age that celebrates authenticity over assurance, it seems that questions are the new answers. Rather than embracing … Continue reading Like a Boomerang: The Dark Night of the Soul
By Larry Bubb I was the youth pastor at a San Diego church for a few years. One of the youth I had the privilege of encouraging was Andy Shirley, who would ask me questions about playing guitar and writing songs. He went off to college and changed his name (as many musicians do these … Continue reading Beautiful Letdowns: Redeeming Car Wrecks
By Dustin Metcalf If you are half way sane, afraid to step near the edge of a cliff, or need to live by a plan then it would probably be best if you stopped reading right now. There I feel much better. Consider yourself warned. I have a crazy dream to share with you. Imagine … Continue reading I Have a Dream… For Haiti
