Church In The Wild #001: In the beginning God created you to be WILD

Adventure requires something of a Man that he never knows if he's ready for...

Read Time: 3 min

I’m writing this from my kitchen table with a fresh nitro cold brew from one of my favorite coffee shops here in Westfield, Indiana.

In the beginning God created so many things…

The one were focused on today is MAN!

I was reading last night and my mind was so engulfed with the text that I digested, about how important… it is for a man to be wild.

A quote stuck out to me, that actually inspired me to create this whole movement that many of you will come to know and love & be impacted greatly from…

“There is something WILD in the heart of every man”

John Eldredge

I would venture to think that many of you just like me, have this urge to escape and get into the wild where you can break free from the walls and bars you’ve created in an attempt to be successful.

Am I right?

You and I were created to be dangerous, driven, adventurous, passionate, protective, fighters, lovers, intelligent, and most of all…WILD for the calling God has on your life!

“ Men past forty get up nights, look out at the city lights and wonder where they made the wrong turn and why life is so long.”

Ed Sissman

Read that again…

I would say that this is true for Men of many ages below and above 40.

So the questions I want to present you with-in memo #001, are this…

How much longer will you allow your WILD nature be tamed by the enemies rules?

How much longer will you allow your true God given talents to be suppressed & erased by an unbelief in “who you are and whose you are”?

How much longer will you look out the window most day’s and wonder if there is more to this earthly life?

We all have a choice right now right here!

Choose to be like them…

The timid man… who lacks purpose, vision, adventure, passion, love, wonder, excitement, and confidence in his ability to break free and into TRUE FREEDOM…

Or

The “Into the WILD” MAN… Who is filled with a fire that impacts every single person, man, woman, and child they come in contact with!

A Man that knows he’s preparing for war…

A Man that can look deep with-in and discover that he’s valiant & dangerous and absolutely unstoppable!

I’m going to leave you with this…

The story of a Lion:

The Lion is locked up in a cage no bigger than your bedroom. He should be roaming the savanna, ruling his pride, striking fear into the hearts of other animals.

But he’s not…

After years of living in a cage, a lion no longer even believes it is a lion…and a man no longer believes he is a man.

John Eldredge

My challenge to anyone reading this right now is this…

Stop living in fear and start stepping into the wild freedom God has in store for your lives.

You’re meant for more!

You’re 100% capable of all the unknown adventures you want to take on, that you fight to see if your worthy of!

This memo is straight from my heart to yours…I don’t take your time for granted.

Thank you so much for reading this.

I’m in awe at what God is stirring up in my heart and I’m believing that my purpose is to impact your hearts and allow you a perspective from a Man who is on a journey “Into the WILD” just like you…

I hope you begin to unlearn what the world has told you and unleash what God has called you to be.

Your adventure starts now!

Matthew Steven Meiser

P.S. I would have a complete sense of gratitude if you shared this with other men. Creating opportunities for men to come together and experience the WILD together is something I take a great sense of pride in…I pray this memo and others impacts lives across the globe.
