One Step Behind Jesus
This project started coming to me the opening week of class, or maybe just a bit before. Our Lead Pastor has been keeping this idea before us for several months now as a general concept to operate by as a staff, but in particular as we have been redesigning our disciple-making process in an attempt to simplify it.
As I wrestled with some of the concepts in the course material, in occurred to me that this is exactly what the Spirit was beginning to teach me to do in worship and music: follow Jesus, staying one step behind Him, as I discern where the Father is working and how to join Him in that. It has also been encouraging to collaborate on this with a dear friend and see something new birthed as the Lord is stirring my talents. It is general enough that it could be used somewhere else, but has come as a very clear heart-cry for where my church is right now.
I pray Jesus will help me stay one step behind Him as I continue to learn how to lead these sweet saints already on the path, as well as the salty sinners that have yet to find the Way.
