Hello, thank you for joining me today for Give Him 15.

The title of today's post is Freedom's Heroes.

In 2010, I wrote a small book, The Way Back,

very easy read, small book, about forerunning pioneers,

challenging American believers to rise up and lead our nation back to God, her purpose and our once held greatness. Back to God, her purpose, and our once held

greatness. Most of today's post comes from this book.

Pioneers and forerunners are those who explore,

prepare or open up a way, a new way?

Sometimes they aren't finding or opening up a new way,

but the way back.

Jeremiah 616 in the Message Bible tells us,

Go stand at the crossroads.

Look around.

Ask for directions to the old road, the tried and true road. Then take it. Pioneers initiate.

They go first, always ready to try something new. Not only are these waymakers open to change, they insist on it. There must be a better way. It's never far from

the thinking of forerunners and pioneers. They are inventors, explorers, scouts, pathfinders, trailblazers,

innovators, change agents, and reformers.

The what-if bunch, the why, and why not folks.

They'd rather write history than read it.

They'll rock any boat, buck any system, go against any flow.

The status quo is never safe with a pioneer.

Here are a few more identifying traits of pioneers and forerunners.
