Here is a snapshot of what ended up being a very full day:
- Morning coffee with Dan Gutwein & Jeff Small, an executive pastor at Central Christian Church in Mesa, AZ
- Staff meeting with Brian Wurzell and the entire staff at Cornerstone Christian Church in Chandler, AZ
- Lunch with Gary Kinnaman, author of new book Seeing In The Dark (WOW is all I can say, more from my time with Gary in a future post…)
- Quick stop at Starbucks to check email and load videos…
- Afternoon meeting with Dan & Denise Gutwein and team leaders for a local Hoops of Hope event in late Jan.
- Dinner with the Gutwein Family
- Evening game of HORSE with Dan, my match up with Austin will come tomorrow night! :)
Gary Kinnaman shared something today that has stuck with me all day, and I wanted to share it with you. As he shared about his journey as a pastor AND as one who deals with depression, he made this comment,
“You have to come to a point where your self-made systems of securuty have been shattered and you’ve run out of options. Only then do you begin to see life realistically.”
Can God be truly experienced outside of a desperate need for Him?
