Why are you interested in pursuing this initiative? Initiallly I was searching for a place to fit, a place to belong. It was my age bracket that first drew me to Elder/Sage, after I landed on the Zoweh site. That and the reality that I ended up at 68 yrs old pretty beat up. Need some help. After last weekend though, there is a shift in why I would give this a year to come into maturity. I saw, felt, experienced first hand the restorative power of one man standing with another. An ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on, maybe a neck to hug. It's so interesting to me that only days before Rock Bridge I asked God to give me the strength to "finish well." A phrase right out of the notebook. Only I hadn't seen a notebook yet. It might have been on my way home, I'm not sure, the thought struck me, why the need to ask? It is absolutely the Father's will that I do just that. Right now, at my keyboard, I want to do as much damage to the kingdom of darkness as possible. This burning thing rises up. Kinda like getting pissed. Holy anger? Is that even a thing? I wonder how old Peter was when he got it...So, were I to aid in being able to spare or help restore another man, I would count that as worthwhile. A lasting impact.
Tell us about your family: 2nd marriage in the wind. 1st was wrecked by her affair. I was a long haul trucker. Waited 2 years for her to come back. Nope. I was awarded custody of our children. That should say something. 2 of those 3 children are severely and profoundly handicapped and in care facilities. I'm legal guardian of both. 2nd marriage was taken off the respirator and pronounced dead 6 months ago when the divorce I initiated was finalized. It hurt more than I thought possible. We have one boy, 23, bright, even brilliant. A graduate of NC State with his Masters in Aerospace Engineering. He lives with her for now, applying for positions that he is hopeful won't take him too far from home. I'm on my own. Not even remotely interested in sharing my hard fought, heart felt hallelujah with a female at this point.
What is your experience with Zoweh events and/or resources? In 2011 I came to Top Gun. Then fell away. As the healing process of post divorce recovery dragged on, I pulled my dusty signed copy of Search and Rescue from my library. About a third the way through, I went to the Zoweh site, saw the Heart of a Warrior gathering in Goshen, debated for about 3 days then signed up. So I've been to two. With a loooong span between them.
How did you first connect with Jesus in a personal way? Which time? I'm not being smart here. When the pain of this divorce just about drove me mad. When I got tired of suicide ideations. I went back to the only church and pastor I trusted. There found grace, not finger pointing.
Tell us about a time when you shared your Jesus story. I'm not a street corner evangelist. I can openly share at Recovery Alive on Friday night.
Explain your familiarity with the following terms: wounds, vows and agreements. A wound is more than a nick, or even a blackened finger nail. More than a casual slight. The kind that do not heal are the emotional ones. It is a slice into my soul, with the intent to eventually disable me or worse, turn me into an open enemy of The Kingdom of God. I've been through Elijah House training. Years ago. A vow is a contract, for me way more negative than otherwise, either verbal or with mental ascension that makes a statement that is binding from the point of issuance forward. It stands until struck down. An agreement is simply me going along with a thought. I can agree with a source of good, or I can agree with a source of evil. The danger for Kevin is when agreements work their way into vows.
Tell us about a significant wounding moment that you experienced. Yuck. The one, yeah, that one. It's when my father beat me unmercifully as a 6th grader. Couldn't have been more than 11 or 12. Us kids had been put with a family down the street for the evening. They were our babysitters while mom and he went out. We were and I guess it was me as the ringleader apparently very poorly behaved. I got it so bad at some point following that, at school I remember going into the boys room and pulling my pants and underwear down in front of the full length mirror. My butt cheeks looked like a rainbow. Purple, yellow, green, dark red. Can't unsee that. Over 55 years ago. Can't unsee that. That is subcutaneous bleeding. He beat me bloody. So I've processed my own William Young "Shack" moment countless times. No Daddy No.
Explain your personal familiarity with spiritual warfare. I don't have medals in this arena. The one time I vividly remember is when my wife's SUV was stolen from our home. She needed it to travel to Philly to see her mom. She was so tore up. It had been about 3 weeks with no word from the local PD. I was on my commute to work when this hot anger boiled up in me and I bellowed, "Satan you will take your filthy hands of Susan's car! I have the authority to command you to let it loose! And you will let it loose! Her car was found within the day.
Give an example of how you have heard from God. Somewhere in this timeline of post divorce crap, I was so beat down. Couldn't buy a happy thought. Straight up depressed. I had blurred the lines of no contact and was still trying to be a "nice guy". One morning in a fit of desparation I told God, yes, told Him, I needed a word. Just one word from Him would do. I made the agreement with myself I would tell no one of this. Not my pastor, no one. That way no one could influence the outcome. Within the day I clearly caught this thought. One word. "Boundaries" I bought the book by Cloud and Townsend, read into it and saw myself throughout as a compliant. They helped me get my "no" back. I know that I know He dropped that one word into my spirit. My life has improved markedly since I got my "no" back. On another example, every time I get so fed up with my job, so ready to leave and retire, I hear, "not yet". I train folks to drive tractor trailers at a community college. I'm an instructor there. He will gently remind me I'm there for more than a paycheck. Twice ex-cons have thanked me for helping them start a new path. That's His way of patting me on my head, it goes a long way.
