Crooked Lines Made Straight

In this episode, we look throughout Biblical History and see stories of flawed heroes who made bad choices and as a result, went off God's Plan.  "Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked shall be made straight." Isaiah 40:4.  God guides his creation to his desired end (eventually through dramas of evil and human sin).  In our martial art training, we talked about straight palm strikes and straight side kicks with pew squats (in Shiro Drills) for strong stances for kicks.  Discipline and training helps a student to focus their movement, center their target areas, and make consistent their motivation.  Being a follower of Jesus in a secular world is not easy and staying true to our faith takes effort.  While meditating on the scripture using Lectio Divina can help us to understanding and connect the lines, thus helping God make the lines straight again.

This is the Way

Welcome to our Christian Samurai Podcast!  Our First Episode is talking about how early Christians simply referred to themselves as "The Way."  Used later in TV Shows like Stars Wars, The Mandalorian, early pagans coined the Term "Christian" that we use today.  In our Martial Art Training, we focus on moving and using your body as a Temple to escape emergencies, be active, be healthy, and push away our foes.  In our Spiritual Faith Training, we start simple with just having a conversation with God alone in your room, start reading or listening to scripture (Hallow App), and use the Our Father as a beginning to your Prayer Life.
