Do you see these people? These beautiful artistic ragamuffins? They look so serious but underneath the somber expressions are hearts that beat for the lonely and unloved. They are my team and I adore them all. Let me introduce them to you.

Jocelyn is the one on the far left. She's an elegant photographer who recently came back from a trip to Cambodia. She does fashion photography most of the time but her heart is for the hurting and forgotten.

Caleb comes next in the lineup. He wants to be the next Mel Gibson in the world of directing. He's well on his way to making that dream become a reality. Look him up in a few years.

Laura is my tree-hugging, thrift-shopping, Portland-loving, latte-slinging sister from Minnesota. She's mind-boggling inspiring and humble to boot. She's Sierra Jensen come to life.

There's me. I missed the memo about wearing blue that day. I was too busy playing by a waterfall and planning out biographical sketches for "Dear World." I'm the resident writer.

Then there's Taylor, my assistant with a heart the size of Texas. He's a f.a.n.a.t.i.c. who loves Jesus and people. He's the guy you want by your side when gallavanting about the dark alleys of Portland.

Christina. The woman who followed the dream that God planted in her heart. She's the one who brought us all together. She's the one who encourages us to keep going and reminds us that God loves PEOPLE. She's amazing.

Aaron is our graphic designer who does amazing work. He can take simple words and make them artistic and incredibly beautiful. He likes to instigate tapioca ball wars. He's also a good shopping buddy (but don't tell him that I said that).

Whitney is the woman that I want to be when I finally grow up. Her love for Jesus fills her being and comes out through her eyes, smile, and the way she cares for people. Listening to her prayers is like eavesdropping on a private conversation between her and Jesus.

Last, but not least, is Jake. He's quiet but when he opens his mouth, something deep usually comes out. He's solid and he's another person who is sold out to Jesus. He also has a really mean aim with tapioca bubbles. He's pretty much flippin' sweet.

These are my people. These are the ones who I laugh/work/play with. These are the people who have helped draw me closer to Jesus through their examples. These are the people I have helped pry church windows open with when we were locked out of our base. These are the people who I have had tapioca ball wars with while driving down the road. These are the people who are moving to the deep rhythms of God's grace. These are the people who I have seen cry for the forgotten. These are the people I have seen Christ in. I love them.

This is Revolutionary Media.

See the need. Be the change.
