5 Life Lessons I Learned in YWAM

DTS and YWAM is not only about a 6 month journey, it’s about the rest of your life. 7 years in YWAM has taught me lessons I will not forget, here are 5 of them…

Growing Pains
Growing Pains

If there is no hardship, no opposition, there can be no victory. To have victory is to overcome challenge,

pain and strife. Victories give us confidence, they give us strength to keep going. So why are we so quick

to shy away from the pain and discomfort of a challenge? It’s all in our perspective.

Why I Became A YWAM Filmmaker & Actor
Why I Became A YWAM Filmmaker & Actor

Not gonna lie when I first heard about YWAM’s film and acting schools I thought they were waaay beyond my ability to do, but then I realized, “Hey, it’s only three months and why not try it.” Ten years later and I’m living the dream. I love creating unique and compelling stories as a YWAM filmmaker and actress.

In the absence of wild revelation
In the absence of wild revelation

To be completely honest, I expected a grand revelatory experience there among the clutter of trees and electric yellow birds and crystalline (sometimes red) lakes...and I didn't have one. I kept waiting to be smacked in the face by spiritual understanding, or brought to my knees in unprecedented awe, and I never was.

But God
But God

I may not have all the words, but God does and is able to use mine. Perhaps, God will work on our behalf as we step out in faith.

Why God doesn’t like boxes
Why God doesn’t like boxes

A couple months later I find myself entrusted with leadership roles, lots of responsibilities and doing lots of relationship-building that I’m passionate about. Working alongside with friends. Sometimes it feels like I am inside the dream that I had as a young boy. I truly feel blessed to take my first steps in leadership in such an incredible surrounding 

When “Send Me” went from a cry, to a reality...
When “Send Me” went from a cry, to a reality...

For the past nearly three years the words "Send Me" were my cry from a place of never being content or feeling like I belonged. Little did I know that God had heard my cries, each and every time.

 

There is no denying it. This diverse and beautiful city is making waves in Australia. It is one of Australia's most beautiful, hippest, and fastest growing cities.  

"arguably Australia's hippest city", an "energetic river town on the way up, with an edgy arts scene, pumping nightlife and great coffee and restaurants". - Lonely Planet

"Brisbane has been ranked as more beautiful than Kyoto, Seville, Rio de Janeiro and astoundingly Sydney in a social media poll" - Rough Guides

"Brisbane is a thriving multicultural hub with a population of 2.2 million, making it the third-largest city in Australia. It also has the largest population growth rate of any capital city in Australia." - Bmag

Come check out the hippest city in Australia!

the city

Also known as the “River City”,  Brisbane is a green city with an enviable subtropical climate. It is one of the fastest growing cities in Australia and is known for its vibrant urban precincts, outdoor lifestyle, and friendly locals.

the beach

Brisbane is the gateway to heaps of beautiful beaches. It has easy access to the many sunny sandy surfs of southeast Queensland. Whether you're looking for a peaceful ocean-side escape, or a more lively experience, Queensland has got it all!

the food

Food and drink is something we take seriously here. Memories are made around meals, and Brisbane knows how to set a good table! We take pride in the art of cuisine...and coffee. Did we mention coffee? Nothing but the best.

Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” On the Pathfinders DTS, we take up our backpacks as we learn what it means to take up our cross and follow Jesus. Backpacking is an exciting, adventurous experience, but it includes challenges: The cold and the heat, the rain and the wind, the weight of your pack and the long distances of the trails... But when your journey concludes in gorgeous mountaintop views, or with a dip in a glittering freshwater lake, you’re reassured that the reward was worth the difficulties it cost you to arrive. Likewise, as we step out in faith with willingness to follow Jesus no matter the cost. We discover in greater measure how truly worthy and worthwhile Jesus is to be followed and adored. Join us as we take up our backpacks and endeavor to say “YES” in response to Jesus. The Pathfinders backpacking DTS starts mid August, apply on ywambrisbane.com #pathfindersdts #ywam #doadts #adventure #backpacking #australia

Isn’t it cool that we get to live our life with Jesus? Like the 2 guys that got to walk with the resurrected Jesus to Emmaus in Luke 24.
