The Sum > The Part

I was able to share a message during our At the Movies series at One Church this past Sunday. I am thinking about the past 9 months, and how I am grateful for the opportunity to come alongside Nate and Cre, and help them build this growing community. I know Gos is up to something, and I am just thankful that I was able to be a part of laying the groundwork and planting the seed.

I am also incredibly grateful to be given the opportunity to speak on a few Sunday mornings. It takes a lot to give up a pulpit, and many church planters discourage sharing the mic early on in a church’s existence. Nate has said now forĀ  over a year that this community is not going to be all about him, and he proves it when he allows me the opportunity to speak. He is creating a culture that is defined by the whole, not one dude who is isolated and only comes out to preach for an hour once a week.

I am 23 and have already been able to help direct a young adults ministry at an established church, and help plant a church. That continues to blow me away. Thanks to those who have given me a shot and helped lead me along the way.
