A few weeks ago, I wrote about the fact that we would start a new segment on the blog called Here, There, and In-between.  It’s basically just a 50,000 foot level look at where we are at Freedom, where we are going, and what we will do in the meantime.  It’s not designed to be a list of all the things we are moving towards - just a few that would be worth sharing…

Here and there…

Right now, there are a lot of people who are FOR us and FOR what God is doing.  That’s a great thing to have - trust me - I remember the days with 5 people in my living room so having people cheering on the move of God in this city is a big deal.  The next step in the process is transitioning the mindset of people so that they are WITH us.  There’s a big difference. 

The guys who saw Peter walking on water were for him - but they weren’t with him. 
Israel’s soldiers were for David as he took on Goliath -but they weren’t with him. 

We have amazing partners that have been with us since the beginning; however, now that initial group (which we disbanded as of January 27th) represents a small percentage of our weekly attendance.  The same passion, sacrifice, generosity, and whatever-it-takes attitude that became the culture of those during the launch team phase - is just now becoming characteristic of the other couple hundred people who are now part of FreedomChurch. 

The in-between thoughts will come tomorrow…
