It has been a long time since I have even logged into this blog. It isn’t for the lack of wanting to that is for sure. There has been much consuming my wife & I’s hearts & minds as of May 24th. On that day, Stacie & I began the conscious conversation of asking the “big what if” question in our lives for what God may have in store for us next.
A what if that isn’t what most youth pastors or associate pastors ask. It isn’t a question a couple asks when they just built a house, both have incredible jobs and amazing freedom to do what they love. But for the past year we have been entertaining the thought of starting a church… Not news we share lightly. Yep you read that right. We have been praying through thoughts of starting/planting a church. News we share with excitement but down right crazy fear of what is next for sure. The journey we have been from last November to May 24th, into June 2nd (they day we said yes) and July 3rd (the day we began movement in telling our current staff & leadership) has been a very incredible one. One that I could only say is prophetic in sorts.
I will be transitioning this blog into sharing some of those thoughts about planting a church along the way of this journey. The best way to keep up to date is to click here to sign up for our newsletter. It will have prayer needs, ways of joining our team, and answering questions some might have.
You can also head over here to check out the website, my good buddy Matt Cleaver set up for us.
There are many details, way to many for this particular post. All that we can say is that there is a new day bursting forth from the Lord for us, and a gathering of people who will come together to praise God for the new life He gives. We are excited to say the least and can’t wait to see all that God teaches us through this journey with Him and others.
