Check out his latest hike and follow along the trail!
I am so proud of my husband Joel. After hiking over 2,500 trails miles the past two years, he’s officially fallen in love…with hiking. In the midst of incredible experiences and meeting amazing people from all over the world, he has captured his memories in clothes that he -and other hikers- can wear. His thru-hiker lifestyle brand is called Out in the Wild and can be visited in the menu at the top. Some of his shirts have hit the trail already or are about to with people who have inspired and entertained Joel via sharing their youtube hikes, pics on his instagram are on the right or below @joelreckless. Check out the adventures of people’s lives online this year as thousands of people attempt to thru-hike both the Pacific Crest Trail and Appalachian Trail. We look forward to seeing you outdoors too! Happy spring everybody! Try something new! outinthewild.life
p.s. We’re also excited for our first 50k race this coming weekend! It’s our anniversary gift to each other and we’re looking forward to shuffling through the pain cave! ShastaTrailRuns
It has been almost six months since we decided to move to the Middle East. Many have asked of how we ended up living and being involved in one of the most “difficult” and “hardest” regions on the planet. The simple answer is that it was all His idea. Both my wife and I have felt that our lives haven’t been our own for a long time. When you have this deep conviction it is easier saying yes. Our no has been Crucified with Him. We get people praising us for living what seems like selfless lives. The honest reality is that we are doing what makes us come alive. He has orchestrated our steps and has led us down the road of Love.
We have had the privilege of working with His persecuted Body. Our days and nights consist of hearing people’s journey of Faith. They have had loved ones killed and everything they have worked for destroyed all because of their unbreakable conviction of not bending their knees to fear. I honestly can say that I complain a lot less since I have been here. In the face of so much loss and pain what can I complain about??? Our brothers and sisters have lost everything but the ability to love. The way they have welcomed us to their homes and families is truly humbling.
If your asking yourself what can you do to help or how can I make a difference I say to you is that you CAN love. You can love fearlessly and fully. Start with those around you. Do not let yourself be filled or swayed with fear by the Media and ask your God what He thinks about the Refugees. Ask Him how He sees them and go from there. -Joel
