An Epic Journey

I am finding that the one thing that seems to haunt me as a I seek to plant Epic Church is the pressure to act like I have it all together.  It is a huge temptation for me.  The problem is, I don’t know it all, I don’t have it all together, I have never planted a church before.

Jenni will tell you that all I do is think about this process - thinking through systems and strategies, events and ideas.  But at the end of the day, I am just a guy who feels a strange call to leave all the comfort I have to go follow God through this journey.  That is really the truth of the situation.  I don’t know the best way to raise funding, but I know my God has deep pockets.  I don’t know how we get the staff we need, but I know the one who pulls at the heart of men.

So, while the pressure is building for me to be a great pretender, I prefer to let it all go!  If you must know, my prayer for the last year has been, “God I’m not good enough to do ___________ , will you please fill in?”  I am not blindly trusting, I am completely trusting!  I believe that the unseen holds greater sway than the seen!  God is my provider - what a good thing to be called by His name!
