This morning I did something that was both difficult yet exhilarating at the same time: I resigned my position at my church effective May 2. For the past few years I've been wrestling with what God's next move would be for my life and since the end of this past summer I really began to seek that answer in earnest. God made it clear to me that I needed to trust Him with a sense or reckless abandon, something that I wasn't all that great at doing. I'm a practical kind of guy and walking away from one ministry without having another one to walk into just didn't seem to make sense. But this is exactly what God was calling me to do.
My heart is in teaching and preaching and I have had a strong desire to look into church planting. Ever since God placed this decision on my heart He has confirmed these desires in my life and has begun to provide opportunities to fulfill those desires. In the meantime, I will be investigating church planting options and seeking opportunities to teach and preach wherever God provides. Regardless of what the future holds, I hold a complete sense of peace knowing that it is all in God's hands.

Praying for you brother. Your heart is for the Lord and I am sure in wherever you go or what ever you do that his glory will be the determining factor. I don't know what you've got planned or are thinking about church planting but I'd love to hear about.
soli deo gloria
