Actually here’s the progression:
At least that’s how I watched it.
Here is a big dose of grace from best selling author and leadership guru, John Maxwell.
For my whole life, which you could call a “Christian” life since I was “saved” at 7 years old, my heart has been crying for someone to show me how to live. I took rules from teachers and suggestions from elders, not to mention Sunday mornings were just a long stream of alliterated points for living a “good Christian life.” But none of it seemed to fit. The same Sunday School teachers that taught me how to treat others with respect would gossip or berate anyone who they thought were different from them (us). Those that relayed to me Christ’s message of going into all the world making disciples still discriminated against people just on the other side of the tracks. Read More→
It’s what we do. Reclaiming a greenspace in the Lyrewood community to enable them to have places for the kids to have camps and play. There will be work crews organized for the next few weekends call the NW Campus to get in on the service.
I’m excited, very excited about this. Everything in my life lately has been pointing to the fact that I don’t know Jesus well enough, well- not really at all.

I found a crazy little project the other night when I couldn’t sleep. Its called “the Words.” Read More→
Synopsis by Momentum’s own – Kevin Bailey:
This is a book about hope and encouragement when your dreams have been shattered, life didn’t turn out like you thought it would or God didn’t show up like you thought He should. Pete is a young pastor in Tennessee and he tells stories of people in his church that have had God work in their lives through their trials.
Publishers Description:
In Plan B pastor and author Pete Wilson uses real life stories of disappointments and hurts along with the biblical stories of men and women like David, Joseph, and Ruth to help readers come to grips with the truth that they will face situations that in themselves they are completely unable to handle but that in them God is simply trying to get them to surrender their plans so that they can receive His. He identifies our common responses to difficulties and offers hope, helping us to
* Understand what God might be up to
* See how surrender helps us to receive God’s plan
* Embrace the community of believers
* Reconcile a God of love with a life of tragedy and suffering
Wilson points readers to the cross as not just the starting line but the centerpiece of our story with God and shares that it is there we turn in our Plan B and find the undeniable relationship between crisis and our hope followed by true spiritual transformation. “God wants to live inside the questions” says Wilson and then reminds us that “the cross is proof that He does not always change the circumstance but that He always has a purpose in every circumstance. He will never let go of us. He will hold us and His cross will be an anchor for us.”
