A Banquet with Friends

Last night we attended an awesome banquet hosted by Kairos Church Planting. Kairos trains church planters how to plant new churches. We have been blessed to go through the training process with them and we feel more and more confident in our ability as lead church planters. It was a great evening with great food and even greater company.

Not Enough Churches...

I have never lived in a city with so many churches. There are churches on every corner of every street in this entire city. Nashville has been termed the "belt buckle" of the Bible Belt and I am beginning to understand why.

So when I first heard of a church being planted in Nashville, my initial, naive, thought was...why Nashville? Aren't there enough churches here? And then, about three and half weeks ago, my family and I moved to Nashville and began our new life here.

"ah ha" Moments

Have you ever had one of those "ah ha" moments in life? Those moments where you suddenly remember something that, for one reason or another, vanished from your memory. Do you remember what it felt like to remember? Depending on what was forgotten the emotions can range from relief and satisfaction to fear and worry.

Moments of Discovery

We all go through periods of self discovery from time to time. Moments in our life where we learn new things about ourselves. Sometimes these are difficult revelations but often they bring us new opportunities and adventures through which we continue to grow and learn more about who we are.

Laura and I recently went through a time of Discovery.

Beginning a New Life

Have you ever embarked on a new journey in your life that is both uncertain and completely certain at the same time? Last week my family and I moved to Nashville, TN, beginning a new chapter in our life. We left a place (Memphis, TN) and a group of people (Harding School of Theology, Raleigh Community Church, White Station Church of Christ, Highland Church of Christ, ETC.) that we loved dearly and learned a great deal from. We moved in order to set out on a mission that we feel God has been leading us to for the last two and a half years.
