As Christians, we like to talk about the abundant life Jesus offers to all who believe, but do we really know what it means to live that way? In Enter Wild, Carlos Whittaker takes us down the path of the abundant life Jesus spoke of in John 10:10 and helps us move from safe and boring to bold and trusting in our relationship with God. Using stories from his journey, Carlos teaches with such passion and possibility to change our thought patterns and daily prayers so we can truly live an abundant life.

Back in 1983 there was no such thing as VeggieTales . The childrens department at the local church didnt have moving lights or a fog-machine haze or Xboxes lined up like airline kiosks at the airport. No.

My generation grew up with much more simplistic entertainment at church. I couldnt wait for Sunday school each and every week. Mrs. Sullivan would place all of us eight-year-olds in a semicircle. Everyone would sit cross-legged except me. Im not sure what happened to my ligaments when the good Lord made me, but Im certain He forgot to stretch them out appropriately. Even as a young lad, I could not for the life of me sit cross-legged. I always had to sit in a chair while the rest of my classmates sat on the ground. So with this scene in mindeight eight-year-olds sitting cross-legged in a semicircle and one eight-year-old sitting in a chairfollow me into our Sunday school lesson.

As soon as we all sat down, Mrs. Sullivan would reach behind her chair and grab the flannel board and a small zebra-printed bag. I LOVED THIS PART ! Now, if you grew up in the eighties, this was your Sunday school entertainment jam. It was nothing more than a three-by-three-foot piece of cardboard or poster board covered in soft material. Flannel to be exact. And what was in that zebra-printed bag? It contained paper cutout characters that would magically stick to the flannel board as Mrs. Sullivan told the story.

Before she unzipped the bag, she spoke. Okay, boys and girls. Today we are going to talk once again about Jesus and His disciples. Remember last week we learned about how they fed the five thousand?
