Why Come

“Off The Map gives me hope. Makes me feel less crazy and more passionate about living out the ways of Jesus. You make me think (sometimes a little too hard.)”
~Pastor Kathy Escobar The Refuge

“You probably take hits for this type of sacred cow tipping, but It truly helps those of us who have questions that aren’t popular on the map.”
~Pastor Steve Murray Real Life Church

“This was my third year and my best year. By far. Why is that? Probably because I have a bit of history now with OTM and enjoy the reunion the conf gives me with so many great people like Helen, Esther, and Nancy (both Nancy’s!) and others. My takeaway this year was really hearing more about how being right is not really the all-important goal of following Christ. This belief of right-ismhas been deeply entrenched in me for a long time. Partly because I am a bit wired to be a Miss Know-it-All, but also because of evangelicalism. It trained me to be a Miss Spiritual-Know-it-All. OTML this year has helped me dig the wells of uncertainty and humility a little deeper.”

“I really enjoyed this weekend. I was challenged, affirmed, humbled, and opened to new ideas. These sorts of weekends, while tiring, are still quite incredible to me.”
