| Introduction | Twelve years ago, the Lord called my family and I to pack up our lives and move nearly 2500 miles to the spiritual frontier of the Great Northwest. Within two years of arriving here, I had exhausted my personal storehouse of strength, finances, spirituality, ideas, and leadership. It was there that God met me in the quiet early morning to reveal that I was not the man to lead our church. I was crushed. My grand dreams, my up-rooted family, my wounded pride, all shattered against the firm words of God. In the long weeks that followed I struggled with how to communicate my failure to our church family. Then, God whispered to my soul, “But I will make you into that man if you will let me.” The years that have followed have been excruciatingly joyous. In His relentlessly gracious endeavors, God has used a profusion of relationships, circumstances, teachings and resources to slowly yet steadfastly mold me into His new creation. What follows here amounts to little more than a few theological burps churned from the intestinal fires of regeneration. I pray that these thoughts might be a small catalyst toward encouragement, challenge, and transformation. |
