All followers of Jesus Christ are called to become people transformed by the Holy Spirit so we can live out God's heart for the world in terms of Christ's great commission. To do that often requires Christians to move against cultural sameness, familial expectations, secular norms, religious boundaries, and even personal emotional issues. Obedience to God in today's world requires the lifestyle of a Salmon Swimmer--a Christian equipped to overcome whatever obstacles keep them from fulfilling God's global agenda. Such commitment has intriguing parallels to the journey of Atlantic salmon in their effort to swim upstream to spawn the next generation of salmon.
