Just finished a long working lunch with my friend Jack. I've known Jack over five years. We were both involved in planting a new church. Both of us had pastored before but were involved in different ministries. Both of us love the movie Bucket List. One of my favorite scenes is the parachuting scene when Jack Nicholson tricks Morgan Freeman into exiting the plane. In the past twelve months Jack and I have experienced something similar. Both of us got shoved out of the plane----both of the ministries we worked for decided they could do it without us.
Now both of us are following the passions God gave us in exciting new ways. For my friend Jack, that meant planting a church. But Jack doesn't fit the profile or should I say stereotype for church planters these days. Why? Because Jack is in his mid-fifties and began his church with almost no other support. The good news is however God is blessing. People are hearing the truth, lives are being transformed. Things are going well. God provides....even when you're shoved out of the airplane!
