If you're a Berean, you'll appreciate this.

Hey,

I'm Jonathan, and I'm living on 30 acres on Steamboat Island. The property is not my own, it actually belongs to a "good Samaritan" man, and his family. I got here, with my family(wife and 2 kids) a year ago because we fell on hard times with a layoff in 2023, and I never found gainful employment again.

We've been living in a guestroom for the past year, and it's clear that without college degrees and impressive resumes it would require an absolute miracle to live on our own again. I've applied for a lot of jobs, but it seems like a lottery at this point. So, we're in survival mode.

After praying and begging God to help us get out of this predicament, I believe God encouraged me to study Mark 10:29-31. So, I did, and I started to wonder, is the family of God supposed to be taking care of one another in a sacrificial way?

The bible says we're supposed to love each other as Christ loves us. So, lets meditate on that.

I made a website to house my findings. I'm not selling anything. I'm a messenger.

My hope is that the promise Jesus made to us in Mark 10:29-31 is real: brothers, sisters, mothers, children, homes, lands. Also, the persecutions, but we're getting persecuted anyway, wouldn't it be better to band together as the family of God instead of every family for themselves?

I mentioned that it would require a miracle for my family to live on our own again, but after going through so much with unemployment, and losing homes we're not really interested in living on our own again. It's way more advantageous team up with others. The "good Samaritans" we're with aren't even Christians, and it can be difficult, but we are making it work because the other options right now are other undesirable places to live.

So, if you are pursuing Christ, please check out the website below. Take your time. If you're a fast reader, and your reading comprehension is at a high level, praise God! But I think it's worth reading slowly anyway. Then, I would love to discuss with you here what we can do.
