DROPS LIKE STARS
We plot, we plan, we assume things are going to go
A certain way and then they don’t and we find ourselves
In a new place, a place we haven’t been before, a place
We never would have imagined on our own,

And so it was difficult and unexpected and maybe even
Tragic and yet it opened us up and freed us to see
Things in a whole new way

Suffering does that—
It hurts,
But it also creates.

How many of the most significant moments in your
Life came not because it all went right, but because
It all fell apart?

It’s strange how there can be art in the agony…

The Drops Like Stars tour is a two
Hour exploration of the endlessly complex
Relationship between suffering and creativity—
And I’d love to see you there.

From “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” to Senior Pastor!  Joshua Harris…


Joshua Harris

During our time in Washington D.C. Justin and I had the chance to sit down with Joshua Harris, Senior Pastor at Covenant Life Church, and two guys from his leadership team - Dave Brewer & Isaac Hydoski.  You might remember Joshua as author of "I Kissed Dating Goodbye," a book published 13 years ago that still sparks immediate responses on twitter and facebook!  We heard some great stories & had some good laughs about his journey from author to pastor, and Joshua sat down with us for an interview after dinner while we were hanging out at Starbucks. 

Joshua Harris - Covenant Life Church
Joshua, Dave, & Isaac are humble guys with a simple heart to lead their church...it was so refreshing to just sit and hang out with them.  Here are a couple of things Joshua said that I find myself still chewing on...

  • "If you sit and watch a plant grow hoping to see fruit you're going to get discouraged...you're going to feel like nothing's happening!"
  • "The thing I'm learning right now is that even though I may not be able to measure everything that's happening I just need to be faithful."

Here's our video from Starbucks in "downtown" Gaithersburg...
