Had a great time yesterday catching up with my good friend Jay Hardwick over lunch.
Jay was the Lead Pastor of Catalyst Church in Greenville, but is heading to northeast Columbia, SC to plant a new church.
Humanly speaking this may not make sense to some people. Catalyst Church is one of the strategic partner churches with Northpoint Church. Things were going well in Greenville, the church is growing, there is a good staff in place. Basically it was the type situation most people would love to be the Lead Pastor. So then, why is Jay leaving and going to Columbia of all places (home of the Gamecocks)? Because he feels God's calling.
I have no doubt that Jay will be successful. He is a bright, sharp guy, but ultimately he will be successful because he is aligning his life with God's will for him.
Anytime we are willing to abandon our own agendas to seek God's will we will succeed. Is there something that God is asking you to do, but you've been running from it?
