Aug 16, 2011 Tuesday Rewind
On some Tuesdays, I go back into the archives and dig up something that still relates today. For the next couple weeks, I’m going to post short clips from some of my messages from this past summer since a lot of you were hanging out at the lake and may have missed these messages. In today’s clip, I share a story where my dad powerfully illustrated justification in my life.

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.
