Nine drafts later, I finally finished my first feature article for Worldwide Challenge magazine. Spiritual breathing was my topic. My research included testing the waters of scuba diving. “I smiled when I saw the bold, black lettered-sign that said, “No Diving Permitted” when I surveyed the landscape around the pool.
That’s why I was there. Being a newbie, the first lesson on how-to scuba was in the controlled environment of an eight–foot deep pool. In my Christian Growth article I talked about spiritual breathing by using scuba diving as an analogy. I got the idea after watching Broken Phonebooth’s DVD on the same topic called, “Don’t Hold Your Breath.”
The Broken Phonebooth team creates short, Christian growth/discipleship films for Campus Crusade for Christ and The JESUS Film Project®.
We work six months ahead of time, so watch for the article in the January/February 2010 issue of Worldwide Challenge magazine.
Until then, here’s a few pictures of the experience that won’t be in the magazine.
