what the wild path looks like!

We are a Christian, Family Service, Non-Profit Organization that desires simplicity in our daily living, We have been starting to function together as a fellowship of Christ followers who thrive in community as we walk the Wild Path of Jesus. For many of us who have already embarked on this journey, there are many things and times that have seemed impossible, but have become possible! He has repaired relationships, provided in ways not thought possible, answered prayers, fixed damaged hearts, and reframed our perspective on what it really means to follow Jesus. Now we have embarked on a journey of enjoying our union with God and the path that He has been taking us down is making more sense that it ever has. The Path is hard climbing sometimes but we are finding that the walk is worth every step. We pray that you will too!​
We view the examples of Jesus and the early model of Acts 2:42-47 where we are given an example of what a community of believers could look like.
We believe that it is Christ that builds the Church and not us! The Body of Christ is built on the confession that He is Christ and the work of His Cross. Jesus' work is cross-cultural in every way, relevant to every nation and creed. He is Lord of all! ​
We make no claims to having attained the all of the mysteries on how Christ builds His Church. We do feel called however to bring it back to a place where it can be lived out and experienced in our lives like it was in the early beginnings of the church in Acts. ​
It has become our experience that in much of what we know of as Christianity, that we have lost touch with ways that God wants to manifest His glory in us through the most natural and at the same time super-natural ways! We call this living in the outflow of His Holy Spirit, walking in an outlow of the nature and personality of Jesus, It is His rhythms being lived out of us as we are obedient to the command to love Him and love one another. ​
It would be a true characterization if someone said that what we are moving towards does not look like the traditional perspectives of Churchianity! Definition: (Churchianity is a term used, often critically, to describe an excessive focus on church traditions, institutions, and external religious practices rather than a genuine, personal relationship with Jesus Christ, essentially replacing true faith with mere religious observance or cultural Christianity. It emphasizes rituals, church membership, and outward conformity (like attending services) as substitutes for inner transformation, obedience, and a deep, personal walk with God.)  That being said... We will never focus our attention on putting a new church just around the corner,to appeal to certain segments of style and preference. We won't have mortgages, and liabilities that keep us locked inside of large buildings, organizations, and mindsets that would distract us from a simplistic walk on the Path of Jesus. Rather we want to be on the move, nomadic, present in the Storms of others in ways that look just like is Jesus in a boat. This is the kind of community that we want to live from; not just on Sunday but every waking hour of every single day. This is the Life of Worship we want to experience.​
We believe that Jesus is at work in us even in and through our brokenness! He loves you and has great plans for you even if your are the most broken! We want to help others identify the works and gifts that He has been doing in His people all along, We desire to adjust our listening so that we don't miss any more opportunities to hear how he speaks uniquely to each of us individually. To understand the work that He has been doing in our story and your story, and how that fits into the narrative of Gods story!​
It goes without saying that doing life on the Wild Path of Jesus in this way is going to look different that what you are used to. You might get resistance from your friends or families, even from the religious sector. That's ok! (Remember when they got ticked off about Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath?) The work we believe the Lord is doing is would appear to be more unconventional and out of the box by today's standards for christian living but! We are ok with listening and following His lead!​
Perhaps you might consider joining us in this journey on the Wild Path of Jesus. It is not for everyone! However were inviting everyone intto this simple way of doing life with Jesus!​

THE FORGE FIRESIDE CHALLENGE FOR MEN - click here!
We gather around the fire to listen to what the Holy Spirit would say to us (personally). It is not a bible study and it is not a place where we discuss our own theological views, doctrines, methods, or christian preferences. Simply put... It is an invitation to be challenged in our personal relationship and comunique with Jesus to become better leaders in our homes, community, and to the people we love. We do this by talking about the things we as men are all challenged with, inviting the Holy Spirit to speak and resonate with us. We pray through applicable passages of scripture in conversations with the Father; Asking the Spirit to reveal the work He wants to do in us personally so that it becomes an outflow of the nature and personality of Jesus in our lives.. After we have had some time to enjoy our Easy Yoke with Jesus, we finish up with a time of sharing what the Holy Spirit is challenging us with personally in our own stories; giving the folks we are walking with the opportunity to listen and work through it on their own terms and through the work of the Holy Spirit.

SOUL RENOVATION SPIRITUAL DIRECTION • ​click here!
If you sense the need to be heard, known, encouraged in your spiritual growth and loved by a spiritual companion who will reflect the workings of the Spirit of Jesus in your life, take the first step by connecting through Soul Renovation Sessions. Typical Christian activities and trying to believe and do what’s right are not enough to overcome your hurts and struggles and develop healthy rhythms in your life, relationships, and work. To develop a flourishing life you need training in Jesus-centered psychology/spirituality, practical tools, and care from mentors and friends you can trust, ​At Wild On The Path. We provide biblical influence and the direction of the Holy Spirit for you to become everything you are intended to be without sacrificing your individuality, your masculinity, your creativity, or your unique design by God. If you feel isolated, alone, dry, burned out, different, going nowhere, or that no one is there to hear you. Then this is a great place to launch a wildly exciting experience on the WIld Path of Jesus.​ ​

RETREATS • SABBATICAL • CONFERENCES • ALL ON ADVENTURE • ​click here!
Missional and intentional adventures for everyone! Our initiative is to recover and initiate a path of thriving and living with Jesus. We’ve been waiting for you! You are invited to join us on our journey's. It is an opportunity to land yourself among a strong-hearted fellowship of folks who are thirsty to explore and experience the fullness of Christ’s love, restoration, and His Kingdom as He fills our hearts and lives, our families, and spheres of influence. Our travels are alway centered on exploring and receiving our sonship, healing in our feelings and emotions, recovering the narrow path, and becoming the kind of men, women, and families to whom God can gladly entrust the care of his Kingdom. The invitation is for all, but as history teaches us, only a few choose this way of life but those who do will become, by day and by decade, the kind of people whose hearts are strong, steadfast, and saturated in the love and life of God. This is the kind of adventure and discovery where streams of living water flow into our lives and then into our families and from there throughout the communities entrusted to our care. To the few, the brave, welcome!

​So Jesus responded, “I don’t teach my own ideas, but the truth revealed to me by the One who sent me. If you want to test my
teachings and discover where I received them, first be passionate to do God’s will, and then you will be able to discern if
my teachings are from the heart of God or from my own opinions. Jn 7:16-17

GRATITUDE GIVING

WILD ON THE PATH and its various types of ministries are supported by the practice of Gratitude Giving. What is gratitude giving? Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what an individual receives, whether tangible or intangible. With gratitude, people acknowledge the goodness in their lives. In the process, people usually recognize that the source of that goodness lies at least partially outside themselves. This practice is in keeping with – 2 Corinthians 9:6-9:7 NIV “Remember this: Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” In a nutshell, If you are glad or thankful to be involved with any aspect of Wild on the Path then it is a great place to practice gratitude! If you would like to support this ministry with a donation of your generosity and gratitude then just click the link below
