Since hearing the “We Believe” album by Brian and Jenn Johnson over at Bethel Church in Redding, California, I always sort of knew that I’d end up over there somehow or another. Well…here I am.
What I didn’t know was how much this whole movement (Bethel resists being called a “church.” They’re a “house” or a “movement,” which I love) would so TOTALLY resonate with me. There is such a simple authenticity and total dedication to true, deep worship here that blows me away. It’s refreshing in a way that I can’t even begin to explain.
I’ll start getting into actual stuff I’ve learned in the next post, but believe me when I say that this place is legit, the real deal, and not nearly as wacky as I was afraid it would be.
Peace,
Ben
So glad you are enjoying yourself. Looking forward to more on what’s going on out there.
By the way, Your blog tag line should say “Your once-every-couple-of-months dose of Ben Harrell.
Ben,
I’m jealous – soak it all up for me, and come do some impartation. How’s the best way to stay connected with you while you’re out there – twitter, email, facebook?
