Our names are Sean and Katharine Madden. Together, we came to Christ in the summer of 2015 while living in the Austrian Alps south of Salzburg. We’ve been living nomadically — slow traveling around Europe and Britain since May 2012 — an adventure which continues to this day, and with no end in sight.
Driven by a shared lifelong pursuit for truth, we’ve spent much of our time while traveling continuing to dig into both true history and the historical and present-day machinations of the powers that be, all of which have given us a good understanding of the rapidly declining state of the world, and the way in which it has been deliberately brought about.
However, that was only part of the puzzle.
Although Sean had read key books of the Bible as part of his first of two graduate degree programs in philosophy and classics, West and East, he decided during our first summer abroad (2012) to download a copy of the King James Bible onto his phone, to begin rereading the gospels, poolside, while camping outside Vichy, France. This time, the Book of Matthew rang decidedly true, and he read it again that autumn, while we were living in Burgos, Spain.
Shortly thereafter, Sean decided to delete his entire music library, both from his iPhone and from his laptop computer, even though he has played both acoustic and electric guitar since his university days. He’d come to realize, through much research, what the agenda behind the music was that he’d been idolizing alongside his peers and, now, across many generations, both before and after his own.
And both Sean and Katharine had, at that point, long been realizing that God was taking extraordinarily good care of us, providing for one literal miracle after another as a means to continue to draw us to Him.
We began to write about our growing faith, both on our own blogs as well as for a well-known truth community website for which Sean was asked to write an essay on the topic of our emerging faith which was, daily, bolstered by way of our (bootstrapped) nomadic travels. But we’d yet to actually hear the true faith-based gospel of Jesus Christ, and so were not quite sure what to do with our growing faith.
It wasn’t until the Summer of 2015, after hearing a thorough yet concise gospel presentation online, that we wholly understood our need for salvation. Immediately thereafter, we called upon Jesus Christ to save us.
