Every day you make decisions. Wheaties or Fruit Loops. Jeans or Khakis. Socks or no socks. From the time you get up in the morning till the time you go to bed at night, it's one decision after another. Some of these decisions don't matter that much. Others are absolutely critical-and that's where RoadForks.com comes in. This site is all about helping you experience how the choices you make affect your life. More importantly, it will help you discover some of the simple spiritual ways of living in relationship.
A RoadFork is exactly what it sounds like: a fork in the road. It's a moment when you decide what you'll believe, feel, and how you'll act towards yourself, others and God. Your choices in these moments can determine what you experience-joy or heartache, peace or confusion, contentment or despair. The lessons on RoadForks.com will help you learn to recognize these moments and understand where your choices can lead.
It's as simple as download, print, and follow the instructions. RoadForks lessons are designed to be completed in a group, even if it's just a few people. At RoadForks, we believe in group participation, so while you might be able to self-study some of the material on this site, we think you'll find it much more powerful to experience the lessons in a group.
To use a RoadForks lesson, download both the instruction sheet and activity page. You may want to print these out at home, or even take them to a Kinkos-type print shop. Then gather up your friends, read the instructions and see where it goes. It really is that simple. You might also want to watch the video clips on each lesson. They'll give you a bit more insight into what the lesson is about.
To view the lessons, you need to have a copy of Adobe Acrobat installed on your machine. To obtain a free copy click here to download from the Adobe site.
We think the RoadForks lessons are the most powerful when done in order, but many can be done as a stand-alone activity.
You may, for example, only have time to do one or two. Or you may want to choose 3 - 5 to cover in a retreat or camp setting. Feel free to use RoadForks lessons as you see fit. Obviously, we think they are all valuable, but how many you use is really up to you.
Ron Jensen and Spencer Burke have a passion for youth, and a desire to pass on some of the simple spiritual ways they have learned to live in relationship with others. Both Ron and Spencer have experienced healing and spiritual growth from discovering and practicing these principles, which they share through the RoadForks.com lessons.
They have developed several lessons that are creative, artful and to the point, all targeted toward youth, and which they have practiced themselves. "Working together to create the lessons is fun, enjoyable, meaningful and personally life-enhancing," says Spencer. Ron adds, "By everyday living and practice, these spiritual truths have become more natural, with or without a 'here-after' incentive. This is the way we choose to live. And it's fun to pass it on to others."
