The idea for 31 Feet originated with the rhinoceros. Weighing in at 3000 pounds, this large-and-in-charge animal runs an impressive 30 miles per hour at full speed. But the rhino has a serious handicap: terrible vision. This massive creature can see no farther than 30 feet away, just 10 short yards. Imagine a stampede of rhinos charging ahead at 30mph. They are literally running blind.

Is it any wonder that a group of rhinos is called a crash?

31 Feet is about living life with a rhino’s vision. We are all running at full speed, by choice or simply because this is life in the 21st century. Unfortunately, we all have very poor vision. Not one of us knows what tomorrow will bring. How do we navigate?

Only with the One who can see what lies at 31 Feet, the future just beyond our human sight.

31 Feet is about learning to trust the God who made us, who knows our past, our current circumstances, and what’s ahead…just beyond our sight and years into our futures. 31 Feet is letting go of our plans and our worries, and learning to place them in God’s hands. 31 Feet is trusting the way we did as children, running full speed ahead and completely confident.

“We live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7
