Nate Johnston - The Wild Ones: The Pioneer Call of Emerging Voices from the Wilderness to the Frontlines

Endorsements

It is a great honor and joy for me to endorse this awesome book called The Wild Ones by my dear friend Nate Johnston. Over the many years I have known Nate Ive seen him walk through many seasons. Some were dark valleys; others were times of intense training as he faithfully served other ministries. God has developed him into a highly prophetic voice crying in the religious wilderness to the broken, discouraged, and wounded soldiers, and I am so grateful for the way God uses him. Within the pages of The Wild Ones, you will be challenged to think different, to approach things from another angle, to not be someone who lives in a sealed spiritual box but someone who can begin to live a limitless Christian life by the power of Gods awesome grace. This book is not only the story of Nates journey but it also has many spiritual gems within it to help you be part of the new breed in the earth that marches to the beat of a different drum. I highly recommend it and know that it will definitely impact your life

We have had the privilege of journeying with Nate and Christy as they have navigated difficult situations, contended for breakthrough, and come through victorious and more in love with Jesus. Watching as they have maintained their integrity in the midst of trials and have continued to trust God despite what they saw in the natural has been a blessing, a joy, and an inspiration to people all over the world. Nate has hope that is not hollow, and it is this hope forged through fire that is now ministering to many. Open your heart and allow this book to inspire, encourage, and empower you to see God come through for you too!

Before the creation of the world, God looked across the generations and saw a group of Wild Ones whose hearts would burn for Him in a unique way. Theyd follow wherever He led. Theyd do whatever He asked. They wouldnt compromise or be distracted from what was true. Their shouts would carry the ring of His Presence. Their conviction would lead them toward the lost. And their determination to see the Son receive His full reward for His sacrifice would be their purest motivation. This group of Wild Ones needed a voice, someone to lead them in a way that no other voice has been able to speak to their unique season or call. It is in this hour that God has anointed Nate Johnston to shepherd a global migration of those who are moving outside of the ordinary and into this unique flow of the Spirit. This timely and anointed message is for each person who hears the Father beckoning, who hears the call of The Wild Ones.

Once in a while, you pick up a book that is more like a flaming sword that pierces your heart or a burning bush, fork-in-the-road encounter than just words on a page. This is that!

While reading this, our insides burned and resonated with the pioneering call in these pages to march into unchartered territory. This book is dripping with anointing that will ignite you, provoke you, and propel you forward into your unique and wild call.

We have known Nate and Christy Johnston for over a decade now, and know them to be of the highest character and integrity, true pioneers of revival, and pure hearted ministers of Jesus love. They embody this message and weve watched them live it out. We unreservedly recommend them, and The Wild Ones, to you.

If you know youre branded by fire and called to not just roads less traveled, but to build the less traveled roads others will use to reach their destiny, this is required reading. The Wild Ones is a branding iron for the pioneer and a catalyst of courage to build what hasnt been seen before.

If youve ever wondered where your place is or had to fight to find your voice, The Wild Ones will serve as a guide to you again and again. Nate doesnt write about ambiguous concepts or theories but from a lived experience of the call to the wild and unknown. This practical book will enable you to understand where and how God is positioning you for your destiny as you embrace the road less traveled. I have had the immense joy of watching my friends, Nate and Christy, answer the call of Jesus, and their pioneering spirit will provoke you to live out the authentic call God has placed on your life.

Nate is a strong voice and advocate for the misfits, the Christian conundrums who feel they dont fit but yearn to find a place to belong. Artists and prophets, pioneers who innovate and create, taking new ground often uncomfortable for the church and misunderstood by the world.

The Wild Ones will impart true identity and open your eyes to a community of believers just like you. Get ready for the adventure. Your purpose and calling waits.

From long ago God has invited His people to walk the ancient paths, where the good way is (Jer. 6:16), to sojourn in the Spirit until a resting place is found for the soul and a violent flame in the heart. I believe this dimension of relationship is opened to those who will take on the pilgrimage to discover what God is really like. It might surprise you how wild He truly is. Make no mistake, He is an all-consuming fire, and those who dare to truly walk with Him will catch His wild nature as well.

Nate Johnston is one of Gods movers and shakers and his newest release, The Wild Ones, opens the gate for Gods lions to be released into the earth. You will be challenged and stirred in your Spirit to say yes to a fresh invitation from the Lord. Youre not a crazy person! No, you are chosen by God for such a time as this. Be emboldened by the Spirit as you read this well-written book.

This book carries within it the fires of revival, and I believe that it will stir your heart to break free from the fear of man and step into new levels of freedom to be all that God has created you to be!
