I’ve been in one of those stretches that just seemed to pull you in every single direction. Yes, we’re launching a new church, and it takes a lot of time, energy, and money. I heard Ritchie Miller say, “Planting one is the most difficult thing you could ever do and pastoring a church is the second most difficult thing you could ever do.” I’ve done both and would agree! You have to get up everyday, and ask God what He has for that day, raise funding, raise people, and raise the church, eventually. Today ends one more two weeks of major-league, one-after-the-other meetings to bring friends, churches, and networks on board the ship of the Origin Church. God has his hand on us and it can be felt. His favor is everywhere. We’re doing all of this for one reason: Faithfulness. We have a burning desire for God to mold us and use us in such a way that the skeptic, the bored, and the one that doesn’t even believe will realize that we and another, love and care about them. We want it done His way. With all that said, beginning this afternoon, we enjoy our family for the weekend!
