An Epic Journey

If you are a K-State fan or a sports fan at all, you surely know the name Michael Beasley. What an achievement to move from your freshman year in college straight to the NBA draft with the expectation that you will be the No. 1 pick!

I can’t imagine in a two year time period going from a pimply faced High Schooler to a NBA Pro where everyone knows your name (now I know that Michael has probably been in the lime light for a while, but this is different, the NBA comes with $$). What a phenomenal metamorphosis he is about to experience. All of his training up to this point has been for this moment in history.  All of his past has been about this time in the future!

In a different spectrum of life I feel like I am being called to a different sort of ministry than I have ever experienced. Everything will be magnified, leadership decisions will be greater and they will impact the church at deeper level. The saving grace for me is where I come from, the past that I have experienced.

I am lucky enough to have been surrounded by grade “A” leaders - people of integrity, deep spiritual conviction, and sound leadership practices. I hope that as I make this transition to a new type of ministry that I can embody all that has gone before me and that I can embolden a whole new set of dynamic emerging leaders!
