//MOOD: I have to pee, actually
//ITUNES: “Desert Rose” – Sting
Dan told me an interesting story over a delicious gyro today. He was in the lobby of Riv while I was teaching last weekend. A couple left the service (in the middle) and left. As they were walking by Dan, he overheard them say:
“What kind of church is this anyway?”
That could be taken so many ways, I am not sure what to think.
Oh well.
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.
