I really wish I had the answers to these questions as well. Even since I was 15 i've been struggling with the answeres. It's like I go through these periods in my life where i'm all about Gods message and his purpose for me and my life and then something or someone comes along and totally distracts me and it isn't until weeks or even months later that I realize its happened. And by that time, I am just so disapointed and discouraged that I don't even want to try again. How do I allow myself to fall away from the one person who matters most, God?

We all at some point will end up going down the wrong road because we're human. Some of these may happen because we are human, or maybe God has something that we need to learn from it.

The best ways that I can think of to keep from traveling a path that is not ideal is to
1. Keep a very close walk with God.
2. To have fellowship with people with your same ideals.
3. Have at least one person that holds you accountable and has an outside perspective of what you're doing.

We're all going to end up in the wrong place or a dead end, but no matter when we realize it God is right there to welcome us right back to the path that he has predestined for us.

I have seen this film before. Today I saw it again and I wanted to cry. I thought of my little brother. I am 28 and he is 24. There are 4 of us all togather. My parents divorced when my brother was 3 and we grew up without a mom. My dad raised us all by himslef until he remarried. My dad is now very ill with a degenerative brain disease. My brother is a sheriff's deputy and prides himself on his job. It seems like that is what defines him. He is making many mistakes and my heart is so heavy for him. I try to talk to him and share God's word but he just runs. I am hurt because I know how my dad worries for his children, he is a great man. I am sure he would pray diligently for his children but no one ever taught him to and now he really cannot understand what is going on because of his illness. My brother is like the prodigal son. He is running from God chasing what the world has to offer. Chasing what is so easy to get sucked into. He is lost and I realize that I have no control over the situation. All I can do is pray for him.

Ryan, always remember to ask yourself the question "What would Jesus do?". Keep reaching out. Awesome ministry.

I can clearly remember how I chose the wrong path. I had just turn 19 and I thought I should really get out there and see what the world has to offer. My intentions were pretty innocent, I just wanted to see and experience life, now that I was ‘all grown up’. I was so wrong, soon all these innocent intentions turn to chaos. I got myself in some real mess up situations and if it was not for God and his mercy I don't where I would be today. I began to do a lot I things that I promised myself I would never do. Although I knew the word very well, that did not stop me. I just could not help it; it was like something was pulling me constantly in the wrong path. But God saw how lost I was and how much I needed him and he came and rescue me. He asks me no questions, he needed no explanations, none at all, all he wanted to do was wrap his loving arms around me. Before all this I never understood how much he truly loves me. But now I know that nothing can separate his love for me. See I did not even know that I was in such a bad place until he open up my eyes, he chose me out of the world, I did not choose him, so today I stay close to him, because now I realized that this world has nothing to offer. Today I am free forgiven and bless, all because of God.
Ryan, keep up the good work.

When I saw the short film...I was blessed and reminded that God will never close the door for us and He is always be a father to a fatherless.

It is my prayer for my two younger sister that they would seek God more than anything because He will direct our path & let us know what is our real purpose in this world. I am so excited to share this short film to them. Hopefully we can get a copy because we can only view your show once a week in cable channel here in the Philippines. We thank God for the internet that we can access immediately and in time we can get a DVD copy of "Chasing" that we can share with the youth here and some friends as well. This is one creative way to reach out to them. Thanks Ryan for using your gift for God's glory!!!
