Have a Seat at the Kid’s Table
His kingdom is not like any other. His kingdom is upside down and backwards, but it only seems that way because our hearts and minds haven’t been re-oriented to the things of Christ. He invites you to feast on his mercy and grace be satisfied. He invites you to join him at the kids table with all the rich, poor, needy, blind, Jews, Gentiles, slaves, outcast, and free men and women who have understood that only Jesus offers true rest and life. He is enough, and he stands ready to receive you!

God loves you enough to love you even when you don’t love him.

Am I Called?
God turned me around. When I stopped running, when I stopped being afraid, I could hear his voice more clearly. When I began to lean upon his grace and his provision, my heart began to change. No longer did I see all of the reasons why I shouldn’t pastor, instead I began to desire the pastorate. I longed to preach and teach and guide. I craved opportunities to participate in the church in new ways. When I surrendered my will, God changed my desire.
