Right now I'm sitting at Atlanta Bread Co in Greenville, SC on a staff retreat. We're planning things for the future. Exciting stuff.
But here's what's even more exciting. A young guy, maybe 20 years old, came over and asked if he could listen in on our conversation because we're talking about Jesus and he needs that. So, right now Steve and Walt are talking with him as he listens through tears. His life has been ruined through drugs and bad decisions. He needs Jesus.
As the rest of us sit here, I'm thinking to myself, "this is what it's all about". It doesn't matter how creative our series planning is. It doesn't matter what the event is that we're planning. It's about seeing people encounter a loving God who can change their life. THAT is what it is all about!
I hope that we as a church (and I'm not just talking about TrueNorth here) can remember this simple lesson. We need to talk about Jesus more in public. Because people are listening.
God is so good!

Your so right. People need to see us being real. The world is thirsty and
we have to be accessible outside the walls of the church, to be able show them the way to get the living water
