Read Steven Furtick’s blog post. Unbelievable confirmation for us and you too!
Pray for us; Kim and I are in the middle of an intense but great Discovery Assessment Center until Friday, for GHC Planting Network, out of California. These are fabulous, God-loving, and sincere high-achievers in the family of God. We continue to add partners to our quest of planting Origin Church; Thanks to God!

Volkswagen announced last week that Chattanooga, TN would be their new manufacturing hub. It’s a huge “ring the bell” for Tennessee and especially Chattanooga and Northwest Georgia.
