Hustle, Grind, Kingdom Time.
JesusMansion is a nonprofit retreat for people who want to create Kingdom focused art, projects, and businesses that leverage powerful new tools including AI, blockchain, 3D printing, video game design, P2P, and storytelling.
We collaborate and create on a lovely 20 acre, 15-bedroom, 13,000 sq/ft campus in Central Texas. We are part retreat and part creative bootcamp. Some people come for a few days while others stay for the whole semester as part of The Fellowship.
Our schedule and routine is geared towards a high performance life of work, learning new skills, physical fitness, conversation and prayer. Our goal is to create just enough structure to keep each other motivated but plenty of free time to focus on our creative endeavors.
Men stay in Kil Haus and women stay in The Convent. Dinners are taken together and give us time to share our ideas and work with each other.
The Kingdom of God is Near.
Stop the excessive video games and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity, you will become a statistic.
― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'survive.' The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don’t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won’t take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don’t like to make waves—or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honour, truth, and principles are only literature. Those who live small, mate small, die small. It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn.
