Glacier, Disneyland, or Costa Rica? Finding Revelation on the Road
Sometimes the best lessons aren't found in a textbook, but in a spontaneous conversation about dream destinations. This week's episode of This Is Kingdom reminds us that Christ meets us wherever we are, even as we debate Disneyland versus Glacier National Park.
The planning stages of any family adventure can be just as memorable as the trip itself. Remember those frantic pre-trip Google searches, the spreadsheets meticulously detailing itineraries, the endless debates over packing lists? This week’s episode of This Is Kingdom captures that beautifully—with a twist of playful banter. The crew kicks off a conversation about their dream family trip, bouncing between Glacier National Park, New York, Costa Rica, and, of course, Tokyo Disney. It's a silly, relatable moment that quickly spirals into a deeper reflection on the power of Christ’s presence.
What started as a lighthearted discussion became a profound meditation on Elder Ronald A. Rasband’s General Conference talk, “He Is Risen!” The image of Jesus ministering to 2,500 souls after His resurrection – blessing children one by one – is truly staggering. As Talon put it, “Whatever you need from me right now, I have the ability to give it to you.” It’s a potent reminder that no burden is too great, no need too small, for the risen Christ to address.
For Rogue Adventurers, this isn’t just a theological concept; it's a lived experience. It's the feeling of connection shared around a campfire after a long day of backcountry hiking, the unexpected kindness of a stranger offering trail magic, the shared joy of discovering a hidden waterfall. It’s the heart of why we travel – not just to see new places, but to encounter the divine in the everyday.
And speaking of shared experiences, consider the possibilities: a rock-climbing meet-up in the Tetons, a field trip to Proof Breads in Mesa for a lesson in artisan baking, or even a family-friendly climbing day at a local gym. These aren't just vacations; they're opportunities to build community, to share our faith, and to create lasting memories.
CrockyGo and Decorated Bills: Spreading Joy on the Road
As you and your family journey, remember to pack your CrockyGo rocks! These painted stones are a simple yet powerful way to lift the spirits of those you encounter along the way. Leaving a Crocky at a trailhead or rest stop is a small act of kindness that can have a ripple effect, spreading joy and connection. Similarly, don't forget to spend those decorated Currency Kids bills (Bennys, Abes, Tommys, Andys, Grants) at Rogue Network vendor storefronts – each bill a tiny gospel tract traveling in your pocket.
