"You've never been on this road before."
Joshua used to be an associate pastor, but Moses died and he was chosen for the task of leading God's people with the help of Caleb.
Today they take the Chest of the Covenant, God's very presence among them, and cross the Jordan. God is on the move and Joshua is leading the pack.
Up to this point, I have spent my career, the last 16 years of my life, doing youth ministry. While I will be attending Winter Hammo and our two Think 25 events (fast and mission trip), I'll be handing that mantel over to Sue. Please pray for a Christian Ed Director to rise up to take her place by Jan 1st.
I'm going to pastor the whole church. I'll be a generalist, not a specialist. The bishop has asked me to focus on something the synod is doing called A Renewal Effort. I am honored to step into it, but will be leaving some things behind.
We can't undue our past, we can only learn from it and move forward. I'm on a spiritual quest. I hope you are too.
