{ MOOD: Thoughtful | ITUNES: Mark Driscoll’s Comments on “The Passion” }

“A lot of young people go into ministry because they don’t want to work outside or lift anything heavy. There are a lot of pastors that are extraordinarily lazy. If you are a good golfer, a good fisher, you are a bad pastor. You don’t have time for much else. Anybody who wants to be an elder or deacon in this church has to learn to labor and strive, not nap and hobby.”

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
