There was a significant week where God spoke to me.
I was taking a class in New Orleans trying to finish my Masters Degree in Seminary and the class was on church-planting and reaching people that are the most unlikely to go to church. All week my heart was about to beat OUT of my chest because I knew God was speaking to me that I simply needed to take the JUMP! I was having dinner with the professor of the class and his guest lecturer, a church-planter in TX. I shared my journey and how I felt God leading me to plant a church. The professor and pastor both asked me what the holdup was. If you are saying you know that this is what you are supposed to do, why aren’t you doing it?
I answered that I simply was held up by fear. “What are you afraid of?” Scott asked. I thought for a moment and told them that it had to be Fear of Failure and Fear of losing Financial Security. So Scott immediately shoots back, “Who are you putting your trust in?” My countenance took a tumble!
I dropped my head and mumbled that it surely wasn’t God. “Sounds like you need to just shut up and jump!” my professor said.
