God Bless, Stephanie Lynch (casselberry,fla.)

The final "Good night" from Jarrett meant the loss, if you will, of something that has held some people up in difficult times; but now, 180*<degrees<, the same scope that lead Louie to found the weekly meetings, is getting amplified. Passion Church seems like it has the steam of eager believers to turn out change thats going to spill over the Georgia State line and past the continent. Hahahaha. Louie hit the nail on the head in calling the "why is he starting a church in Andy's Backyard", shpeil "me-ness". Its the same kind of feeling that people had when Louie decided it was his time to dedicate exactly the right amount of time into helping Passion Grow and allowing others leaders at North Point take 7|22 to the next step. "Look how far we've come"..or to re-phrase, "Look how far God has taken us with JUST this little 7|22 idea. Can you imagine what an entire CHURCH could do to people in Atlanta. Find something to Hold onto.... Its crazy how one chapter ends and another begins.

Hahahaha. Louie hit the nail on the head in calling the “why is he starting a church in Andy’s Backyard”, shpeil “me-ness”.

Find something to Hold onto….

Passion has been a non-threatening rallying point for believers from all perspectives. I hope Louie realizes that this move will affect his ability to lead Passion in the same way. Unfortunately, I believe he will begin to be perceived as a threat to a certain number of church and para-church leaders and their groups as the new church attracts people in the Atlanta area. He will have to do one or the other. He will, unfortunately, not be able to do both. I love this team, and I pray that they are listening carefully to what God wants.

I always take something from Chris and Louis that sticks with me. Through Louis' words, I recently received lasting comfort in a significant trial in my life. Louis gets to "the meat" as they say and makes me ponder on deep issues that lead me to seek God's direction through prayers. I am maturing as a Christian, and I believe that God has used Chris and Louis to contribute to this growth. I live about 4 hours away from Atlanta, but I will be there as often as I can.

HA! It was rich and rewarding for me coming off of the road and getting into the trenches long-term 10 years ago. There was a marked difference playing and leading itinerantly, hearing backstories from pastor and students of how God was working in their lives after we had been there to getting up at 6 am to meet with a church member who was clinging to sobriety in his pornography addiction. I wouldn't go back for anything. I love the trenches. Both are rewarding, but different. (I know they both know this and have experienced it to a degree, but it is another thing to be there every single day and feel the weight of the mantle of leadership.) Louie and Chris, have a blast. Enjoy God and roll with the frustrations. I am praying for both of you guys. havin Ahh, now Louie, Chris and the boys will know my pain. HA!
