I'm looking for blogs that have unique and good content relating to the life map model areas of heart, mind and vision. Finding fresh unique blogs in those areas with good content that are not main stream is some what difficult and I could use your help.
Today I heard about Alex & Brett Harris and their blog on Focus on the Family's radio program and their blog is very much like the kind I have been looking for these past few days.
While I have found it easy to find lists of very popular Christian blogs what I am really looking for are blogs who are not yet main stream or really popular in terms of readership numbers. They should have good content, unique views and come from a biblical world view in the areas of heart, mind and vision and these guys blog is very much vision focused and as well as some on the mind too.
When I started my quest to find fresh content blogs from unique perspectives with biblical world views I quickly realized there are a few popular ones every one seems to link to with authors who are no longer seen as people just like you and me.
I am often encouraged and inspired by popular Christian teachers, pastors and preachers, but passionate people that we tend to see more like us have an ability to motivate and inspire us to take action in our lives in a very powerful way. We don't see the decades of hard work and experience and obstacles well know speakers have gone through to get where they are and if we try to gauge our advance in things in according to how we see them doing it we will quickly become discouraged.
Yet, how many times have you done something after seeing someone else do it because you thought if they can do it then I could do it. You were able to relate to them and identify with them and seeing them do big and great things we then tend to find courage to for the same.
While I have some disadvantages in being a relatively unknown person in ministry I have the advantage in that more people will from my example think "if Matt can do that as a ordinary guy then I can do it too". I want to find other people like you and me who are doing and believing God for extranoradiry things. To spur people on in the life map process of walking with God I want to help people find inspiration and awaken a passion in people and this is one way that tends to work well to do that.
So today when I heard these two brothers on Focus on the Family who started a blog a few years ago as teenagers to inspire others to do great things I started to search for their blog and found it.
You can read Alex & Brett Harris's blog at:
They started this as teenagers. I was a pretty big dreamer as a teenager myself and was encouraged by these guys story.
I came to know Christ through a personal relationship and found assurance of my salvation at 15 having grow up religious, but that faith would not really be set on fire until I was 20. These two guys starting with such a passion as teenagers really is inspiring.
I found on their blog another story on Zac Sunderland a 17 year old Christian guy who just sailed around the world alone on a sailboat. You can read one of the blog posts Alex and Brett did about him at:
Zac now also has a blog at:
If you know of any other blogs on the heart, mind or vision from young passionate believers or any age with good insight and content please post them in the comments. I'm wanting to come up with a top 10 or top 20 or maybe even a top 100 list of young Christian bloggers as I have yet to find a list like that. If you would post ones you think should be on the list in the comments that will help.
