To all who attended, physically and in spirit, thank you!
It was an unbelievable pressure-valve-release to finally play the guitar in public for the 1st time! I’ll admit, as I was walking around the stage with my axe, I mentally slipped into a few of my heroes, namely Kurdt Kobain (if you get that misspelling, I’ll treat ya to coffee – darn expensive idea considering you can Google that :-))
Seriously, mistakes and all, it was a wonderful energy you created for me so I hope I created right back. Thanks for giving this “grown-up” a chance to be the fearless co-creating kid Christ wants us all to be.
And on that note, I repeat the previous blog title as a wish to us all: Go ahead, be AFRAID … but be FEARLESS about it!
Enjoy Episode 3, the resulting music video airs Fri, 5/25!
The title is NOT a command.
As a kid who’s spent his life consumed by fears, it’s just a wish I have for all of us.
Enjoy Episode 2, the story behind my 1st PDG or Public Display of Guitar – don’t worry nothing indecent 😉
Episode 2 aired Wed, 5/23
If ya know me, ya also know my love of trilogies 😉
If you have time this week, Episodes 1-3 air Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!
Continue below for Pancakes + Syrupy Inspiration this May 12!
Stay tuned for a ridiculous answer ( hint: May 12 🙂 )
He simultaneously took his last pills and played his 1st live gig with Vintage band-mates. The next 3 years of sobriety would bring more pain than the previous 26 years of drugs combined as he began the process of re-discovering the world and himself through eyes that had never seen clearly … until now. 8 years later, he’s still sober, re-discovering, and healing family wounds. The pain is still there too, but worth embracing to rewrite a future full of hope, purpose, and possibility.
Join us at Stillwater United Methodist Church on May 12th for Breakfast* at 9AM and their awesome serving of pancakes, followed by Rene Rafael at 9:50AM and his awesome serving of compassionate hope!
*Men of God Breakfast is a great morning of breakfast, inspiration and fellowship usually between Christian men, but on May 12, doors are excitedly open to ALL who could benefit from Rene’s message!
