"To illustrate his message of diving in to the reality of living out God’s calling in our life despite the fact that life gets messy and difficult; he dipped his hands in to a bucket of mud. He spread it over his arms as he challenged the students to trust God, look to God, and fully live in his calling no matter the cost.
Buckets of mud were stationed in front of the stage, and Brad invited the students to come up and cover themselves in mud as a symbolic way of accepting and embracing the life of faith."

Interesting, provocative concept.... but it is quite odd, really, to put mud on yourself in light of the Christian teaching on baptism and commitment to Christ where water is used. Many Christians who embraced a life of faith have ended up shedding their blood, (not mud) and this because they followed Jesus, no matter the cost. Mud might be more "symbolic" of the sin that the waters of baptism washes away than living in God's calling.
