"The barbarian call confronts us with all we love and all we fear. We resist love to avoid pain and squelch our dreams out of fear of failure.... Every dream born of God is fueled by love. Every conversation to be had with God challenges the boundaries of our imagination. When we turn to God, His love transforms us and ignites a new passion within us.... We discover the power and force of love in its purest form.
Fear hold us captive... but when we fear God only, we are no longer bound by all of the other fears that hold us captive... this makes the barbarian an entirely different species.
This may be the most extraordinary mark of the Spirit of God within the heart of humanity:
the freedom to live out dreams greater than ourselves."
Erwin R McManus from 'The barbarian Way'
(We need to be reminded to live large and stay inspired, no life is meaningless, we all have purpose and destiny stamped into us)
