The Christian life is not safe. It’s a heroic journey.
Too often, faith is reduced to rules or comfort. But Christ’s invitation is radical: Come, follow Me. It’s a call to leave comfort behind, to confront darkness within and without, and to become something more than we are.
This page explores the Christian life as an adventure—a mythic path of sacrifice, transformation, and courage. Drawing from Scripture, psychology, and classic storytelling (from Tolkien to Peterson), these reflections challenge us to live with heroic integrity and deep hope.
