I've experienced another one of those convergences. I had a conversation with a church planter last week and he challenged me to write our story as a way of encouraging pastors and church planters.
Three days later I had a dream. I dreamt that I wrote the book. I can count the dreams I'd classify as "God-ordained" dreams on one hand. I think this was one of them. I got up and scribbled out a table of contents.
I think sometimes we let our inexperience and imperfections keep us from doing what God wants us to do. I'm a learner. And the more you learn the more you know how much you don't know. And that can be paralyzing. It can keep you from sharing what you do know.
I still feel like a rookie in the pastoral league. I have so much left to learn. But I'm about to take my tenth trip around the block. I'll keep learning. We'll keep doing reconnaissance. We'll keep going to conferences. I'll know so much more and be a much better pastor ten years from now. But I think it's the right time to share some lessons I've learned on my ten trips.
