the    sides

One of the cool things about being a youth pastor (besides having 15 people over to play Halo 2 every Saturday night) is that I get to have lunches and coffees with some of the coolest people on the planet. The lunches and the coffees are really just places to do discipleship. Life on life ministry can be fattening!

Which brings me to these two conclusions. Conclusion 1: The Great Commission is less about classroom, more about coffee shops. It is more about lifewalking with people, less about showing up and punching in on the “church time-clock.”

Conclusion 2: You seldom choose who you lifewalk with. They choose you or Divine Circumstance takes over. These two conclusions have changed how I view “interruptions” in my schedule.

I still catch myself complaining about not having enough time - as if I don’t get the same amount of time in a day as everyone else does. But I’m learning to view the “interruptions” differently.
