Andrew’s choices offend and challenge the mainstream sensibilities; He throws a light on
Materialism
Doctrines
Hypocrisy
Life dominated by ‘Cheap' grace
Andrew, in a bold departure from societal norms, has embarked on a unique journey that he refers to as "The Walk." This unconventional path involves deliberately embracing a life of homelessness, choosing to exist without the confines of a permanent residence. Simultaneously, he has opted for a modest financial existence, willingly embracing a state of poverty as a conscious rejection of materialistic pursuits.
Andrew's commitment extends beyond his living conditions; he has decided to be open to ridicule, acknowledging that his choices may subject him to criticism and mockery from others. Moreover, he accepts being judged, recognizing that his unconventional lifestyle invites opinions and evaluations.
"The Walk" represents Andrew's deliberate defiance of societal expectations, a commitment to authenticity, and a pursuit of a life guided by personal principles rather than conforming to conventional norms.
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

My lived experience when asked ‘is there a God ?’ demands that I reply ‘Look the Human man-made God is definitely dead’, but I also know that there is a power greater than me, and all the time I separate myself from this because I am seeking comfort in attachment. Attachment to people, places, and things.
