If you are praying about planting a church - then you need to be praying about who will come on board as your associate/executive pastor. This decision is HUGE!

You have to be able to fully trust this person with your life. If you do not have that type of relationship with the person - than he probably shouldn’t be a candidate for the position.

Look at every church that is really getting it done across the country and each of them has a GREAT executive pastor. I can’t overstate how important this person is to the organization..

With that in mind, I thank God every day that He has allowed me the opportunity to work with Todd. He is in a role he has never been in before; however, he spends massive amounts of time and energy learning from the best executive pastors in the country and is now way ahead of the learning curve. He is doing a great job and I can’t wait to see how God is going to use him in even greater ways at Freedom.
