Orange, Splits and Nehemiah

I just wanted to put this out there. I really couldn't help myself. Phillip is a phenomenal family pastor who spoke into a lot of people's lives over the past 3 days. Amplify on Saturday night really helped get everyone focus on the same vision and understand where family ministries at Elevation is headed. There are definitely times when the information we're taking in and the changes we need to make seem overwhelming (it was the same at Orange Tour), but I think overall things like OT and Amplify really help light the fire in the hearts that are going to change our church. Pulse last night, though small, was also really great. A little speaking, a couple splits, a lot of Nehemiah. Good times.

I've been around Elevation for almost a year and 1/2. I've seen a lot of change and a lot of growth. I've been that change. In terms of my spiritual life and my walk with Christ, I've grown up here. But I think that right now is a phenomenal time to join this process of building with one hand and fighting with the other. I feel like we're at a point where we're starting over, especially in family ministries. As a church, God hit all of our goals for year two and now we're launching into our third year at ridiculous speeds. And now it's time for change. To refine our processes and to fix broken windows and combine the church and parents. I'm so excited to see what's going to happen in the next couple months. Because really, what happens in the future at Elevation is interconnected with what happens in my own personal future. God has done great things. God is doing great things, and He will continue to do great things. I'm so thankful that I get to be a part of this particular movement at this specific time.
