It's not so much a picture of my preferable future as it is my best understanding of God's preferable future for me. It naturally changes over time as it comes into sharper focus, but it always inspires and moves us. Here's my best understanding of the life and the work I believe God dreams of for me:As I experience the shifting tides of culture and see a new kind of church emerging wherever I go, I’m compelled to co-create working harbors that provide...
Time for people to linger with God and to be shaped in the crucible of community;
Space for people to explore, experience, and extend the missional life they are meant to live; and a
Place for people to gather the essential gear they will need to live that life well on whatever seas they are called to navigate.
The attached picture of the boats in the harbor is another way for me to visualize my vision. They're not just boats, they're working boats...fishing boats. Some are bigger and some are smaller. Each of them is unique. Some will go farther out to sea and others just beyond the harbor. But all of them have a job to do.
What do you imagine when you think of the life God created you to live?
