So much happening in my world and the world of Revolution Church.
My summer break ended a little earlier than planned, but it’s been amazing to see what God has done in that time.
Some of it sad (think not how I’d plan it), and some of it exciting.
Which, if your life is like mine, how God works tends to be like that.
The sad was this past Sunday was our worship pastor Jerad’s last day. They moved back to Florida to be closer to their families.
What’s exciting about that is the possibilities about what is next and the roles people at our church are stepping into.
I had a mentor tell me in college, “If God moves you to another place, God is already preparing someone to take your place.”
It doesn’t always make transitions easier, but it is a comforting reminder that God works all things together for His glory and our good.
We kicked off What is God Like?
I’m also excited that we are back in 2 services. Here’s why we went to 2 services .
If you missed week 1, you can watch or listen here .
Part of my break was going to the Acts 29 pastors retreat.
Always a good time with our network.
I was challenged and encouraged in a way I haven’t been at previous retreats.
Still chewing on some of it.
This line in particular: You should pray so much in your church services that nominal Christians hate it, while mature Christians love it and unchurched people are curious.
Over the weekend I started reading 2 books: The Black Widow by Daniel Silva (one of my favorite novel series) and The Ideal Team Player: How to Recognize and Cultivate The Three Essential Virtues by Patrick Lencioni.
Lencioni’s book is incredible and one every pastor should read.
Can’t wait to walk through some of the ideas with the leaders of Revolution.
I’m starting to zero in on my 2017 preaching calendar.
Really excited about some of the topics we might cover after spending almost all of 2016 in Romans.
It’ll be a good change of pace for me as a preacher and for our church.
Romans has been good and challenging.
My kids have been having me create their own personal playlists on Spotify, which has been fun because of my love for music.
Sadly, they will never know the joy and the pain of making a mix tape. Especially recording a song off the radio.
Oh the memories!
I have my in-laws coming to visit this week, which will be a good time.
I guess they wanted to suffer with us in the heat, but I keep telling them it’s dry.
So, back to it…
