Great day today at Journey Church here in Raleigh. Pastor Jimmy finished up a 4-part series called "The Sickness Within." He challenged us from James 1 regarding temptation--that we've got to separate ourselves from temptation and saturate ourselves in Scripture. It was a great reminder.

Well, in a matter of months this will be our new home church, and I'm pretty stoked. Great worship. Solid biblical teaching. Commitment to the Gospel. Family already here. The Lord is obviously at work--genuine life-change happening all the time. And yes, you did hear correctly. We've got our house on the market in Charlotte and will be making the Triangle the new base of operation for our ministry and Journey our new home church. I'm excited to jump in and be a part of the team here at Journey. Not much will change in terms of our ministry focus. But Journey will act as the new launching pad for our ministry--and it's exciting because we've already developed a great relationship with Journey in the past 2 years through our visits here. And having my brother, Smooth, on staff here as the student pastor helps it feel like home as well.

So pray for our family as we make the move to Raleigh and as we deal with the other multitude of life changes that seem to always come at the exact same time. But ... isn't that the way it always is?!
