Minhee and I love the greater Church in the Seattle area but have been waiting for about six months post our transition to step into speaking locally. Strange but grateful. It was a joy to be able to encourage and challenge the folks @reach_church in Kirkland, WA yesterday.
Truly, we rejoice with this community and are really encouraged by the humble, passionate, and tender leadership of Pastor Brian McCormack and his wife, @emiliemccormack. Umm, he's one tall dude so I made sure not to stand next to him. But I digress. They're asking hard and faithful questions in pursuit of a Big Gospel and that's good news for Kirkland and beyond. Check them out if you're in that part of the area. And thank you for the honor you bestowed on us yesterday. You didn't need to but it encouraged us tremendously.
And Eastsiders, if you're interested and looking for a church, I'll be speaking at All Nations Community Church in Newport Higher on June 2 and Marketplace Church in DT Bellevue on June 16. For security purposes, I don't share my national or international travel plans but please keep us in your prayers that God would keep us humble, faithful, and sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
Watch out, world! A glimpse of our future as empty nesters as all our kids were either back in college or on trips. Empty nesting = a weekend trip to Vancouver, BC, one of my all time favorite cities in the world.
Grateful to be on this extended weekend date with Minhee for rest, food, more food, lots of walking, more food, and the joy and privilege of preaching about Jesus at Tenth Church.
Thanks Vancouver for a great weekend. We'll be back soon. Lower your house house prices by 50% and we might move here. Just staying.
