how do you run a marathon, get out of debt, start a business, write a book or get a promotion? TWO WAYS: GRADUALLY then SUDDENLY. we overestimate what we can accomplish in a year or two, but we underestimate what God can do in a decade or two or three! it’s all about long

fun field trip to the Culturehouse as our team begins to prayerstorm its future. some amazing art has hung on its walls and you can feel the worship in the walls dating back to 1886.

made a significant announcement @NCC today—another miracle in the making. we bought an 1886 church—one of oldest black churches in the city, built by former slaves—that was turned into an epicenter of art as the Culture House. We want to honor that history as we write the next
