What You'll Hear:
- He always remembers going to church, at the age of 4 or 5 he knew God was calling him to preach
- On 9/11, he heard God audibly tell him to run (which he knew to mean surrender) and on the following Sunday he gave his life to Christ
- He has heard from God audibly 2 or 3 times, normally God gives him visions and dreams. It's an unction so even when he's mentally unsure, he knows
- When you're a kid and your parents call you, depending on how hard they called you knew what the level of requirement was going to be, in the same way you need to get to know God before knowing if you're hearing from Him
- He was working full-time and making a 20 hour drive from Biloxi, to Charlotte every week for 2 months
- Right after they arrived Charlotte to pastor the church there, riots happened in Charlotte
- Earlier he had worked for the YMCA and then was managing Kindercare, but stopped doing that so he could work full-time with the Police Department, he continued pastoring full-time with no income from the church
- "My passion, my gifting, is people. I love people"
- By summer, 2017, he stopped pastoring that church
- They've galvanized 160 partners that work together including 30-40 pastors and churches that normally don't work together
- "You can launch a church, ... a mission... a ministry, but if people don't believe in you or what you're doing, because you have not sown equity or earned credibility..." you'll fail
- If your ministry were removed, would your community know you were gone
- The focus needs to get back to Jesus Christ alone
- There's becoming a separation of believers and Christianity
- "When we allow our passions or the moves of the day (politically, socially, economically whatever it may be) to supercede our view or our behaviors and the mission of Jesus Christ (winning souls, making disciples)... we have stepped out of the boundaries of being believers and stepped into the boundaries of being religious"
- "If the State, if the secular, if the corporate wants to see transcendent profit, result, growth, and success, it would be strategic of them and wise to invest their resource in staffing believers"
- "There's so much prosperity that can take place if the church is utilized"
- To make your secular job a part of your overall ministry, you need to know your spiritual gifts
- "Balance means my family is first...it's a fundamental life principal to make sure your house is solid. to make sure your family is solid"
- "Life is like music, sometimes life is on-beat and sometimes it's off-beat. You're not fighting to stay on-beat, you're fighting to stay in rhythm"
