Jonathan, I think this is awesome, Submitted my article and I hope it helps. This is a well needed synchroblog (I think I spelled that wrong) that all of our authors need to be part of. I'd love to hear everyone, from all backgrounds, subsets, genders, denominations, interests, political views, scriptural views, and everything else chime in. I'm excited, my friend. 

When Christ walked along the riverside to call his disciples, he didn't call perfect men. He called rough and tumble characters. That's what we have here at Provoketive. People who care enough to share their hearts. I'm anxious to hear from everyone and learn from their journeys.
