Wandering Travelers began with a longing for more for myself (Kellen) and others. A longing for a spiritual life that gave rest to the soul and deepened the experience of life in the midst of the everyday experience. After nearly 10 years of being a local church pastor, one of the most frustrating things was seeing (in others) and experiencing (in myself) the disconnect that happens between "Sunda
y Mornings" and the "rest of the week". No matter how motivating the sermon, or captivating the worship experience -- my own, and other's lives quickly gave way to the demands and pace of the work/family-life/commuting week. For me, that meant resignation from my role as a local church pastor -- but NOT from my calling. In fact, I feel more passionate about my calling than ever. I want to see Christians who have grown tired of not experiencing "life to the full" throughout their week discover that it really is possible! I want friends (and strangers) who don't know Jesus to tangibly witness the Life He offers -- rather than a Christianity that doesn't really look much different than everything else around. So that's what I did -- I resigned -- My wife and I sold our house and most of what we owned. We decided a pilgrimage of rediscovery was needed for us and our 2 kids. So we bought a trailer and a truck and we got ready to head out on our . But it's not just about the physical trip ... for long after that trip is done, the journey will continue and I hope you'll come along with us and together discover rhythms that give life to our souls. PLEASE JOIN US as we learn to slow down, and sink into the refreshing, purpose-giving presence of Jesus through contemplative practices, and simple daily reflections as we wander on our travels. I (Kellen) will be your "WANDERING GUIDE" -- wandering along with you while hopefully offering some guidance from my own life along the way:
