The Driving Force

Planting a church is like a yo-yo. In the same day I can be greatly encouraged and terribly discouraged. In the same day I’m told, “You can” and later told by someone else, “You can’t.” Ups and downs abound.

But I’ll tell you what the driving force is in starting Project Church: The call.

• The call to help people live the lives they are meant to live.
• The call to see thousands come to believe and love Jesus.
• The call to ignite a movement that will turn a city upside-down.
• The call to shake the tree of complacency.
• The call to ensure that no child or adult in our reach goes hungry.
• The call to see others discover their calling- and answer it.
• The call to see young men be the most likely to go to church rather than the least likely.
• The call to see people be married and stay married.
• The call to help parents love and train their kids the right way.
• The call to help people discover that their talents are God-given and to actually use them.
• The call to show people that it’s never too late to become what they might have been.
• The call to see people freed from addiction, pain, shame, and religion.
• The call to change the way people think about church.
• The call to plead for no wasted lives.
• The call to see a generation arise from this city that will authentically and passionately follow Jesus.
• The call to love God and people recklessly.
• The call to multiply- Christ followers, leaders, and churches.
• The call to see dad’s become the pastor of their families.
• The call to be a church where no one stands alone.
• The call to do whatever it takes to see this happen.

I don’t know why God called me to this. There are many people who are far more impressive than I am. But the call is what drives me. This is why we’re planting a church. Not because I woke up on morning with a great idea- but because God said so. And I know this- I can’t do this alone. It’s going to take people who want to be a part of something bigger than themselves.

If you pray, please pray for Project Church to become what God wants us to be. If you don’t pray, now is a good time to begin.

We’ve only just begun…

Our Kind of People

People who keep it real. Those are my favorite kind of people.

Being real is not easy. It requires admitting that we aren’t perfect. As a dude starting a church from scratch, I want to be real with God, other people, and myself. I also want to help lead other people to do the same. But if I’m a hypocrite, judgmental jerk, then guess what kind of community Project Church will be…

So let me say right here, right now- I’m not perfect. Not a shocker to those who know me. But here’s the thing, I don’t expect that the people who will be a part of Project Church will be perfect either. In fact, if you’re one of those people who think you are-you’ll probably hate Project Church.

But for those who don’t have it all together, who know they fall short, but want to live the lives they were meant to live- Project Church is right up your alley. Because being real isn’t just about admitting you’re not perfect- it’s following the one who is.

Together.
