Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting with David Foster, Lead Pastor of The Gathering. We met at my favorite Starbucks in Cool Springs. I always like meeting with Dave because he is very inspirational and encouraging. He truly is a pastor of pastors.
As we talked, I could sense the enthusiasm he had for The Gathering’s potential move from the movie theater in Franklin to Centennial High School. They would have a bigger auditorium and more space to have kids classes. In the middle of all that, they will also be closer to the growing area in south Franklin.
I shared with Dave about what’s been happening at Elevation and his comments were very encouraging to me. It reminded me of Ben’s post about the church planter’s second church plant (say that 5 times really fast). There were so many takeaways from our conversation, but here’s one. He said the best thing for us right now is to enjoy the season we’re in. To truly love on people and allow God to grow the church (because it’s His anyways). Enjoy the time, love the people, and allow God to grow the church.
Meeting with gifted leaders always leaves me challenged. Next week, I’ll be meeting with another buddy of mine here in Nashville, Pete Wilson. Should be a blast!
