"Vision Test"

Posted on February 8, 2008 by donrecord

Imagine you have two minutes to tell tens of thousands of people about your church…right now! That situation happened to me this week. I had the opportunity to do a phone in with Nipsey, Jen, and Earl of the Peoples Morning Show this week. I knew it would be pre-recorded but I thought the call would happen on Thursday or Friday. On Wednesday morning I got a call…”Can you go on now?”

I suck at “sales”. I have tried at sales jobs several times in life and I always turn into “Tommy Boy”…and fail. Fortunately actionchurch is simple to explain. It’s not complicated. Our vision is clear. We are the church for people who don’t like church. We’re loud, we meet in a nightclub, don’t take ourselves too seriously…but we take Jesus very seriously.

If you can’t explain it on a moments notice in less than a minute…no one’s going to remember it anyway.

The phone in should run in the 7-8am hour on 105.7 the x.

Departing…

In order to go anywhere new you first have leave where you were at… We’ve experienced a lot of that in the last week. Jeff and Chrissy who run actionkidz upstairs had their last week at Lancaster Vineyard Sunday. They left behind friends and a great church to take on the challenge of turning an upstairs disco into a great environment to tell kids about Jesus every week. We truly couldn’t have launched actionchurch without having someone with a vision for “actionkidz”. Thanks Lancaster Vineyard…we owe you!

Michele, Reagan, and I “left” LCBC on Sunday as well. We LOVED the time we spent there. Quite frankly…if I thought church was about “me” and “my needs” and “getting fed” (I don’t-just wait ’til week two of the Re-th(ink) series) I would stay at LCBC forever and be the happiest cat in the world. We will really miss that church! It has truly been the best experience I have had attending a church ever.

So why leave places you love…to a place you don’t know…with no “guarantees”… because something even better is ahead…
