An interesting thought came to me last night as I was driving away from casting my vote in the election. It wasn't really a thought about which candiate would win, nor was it a partisan thought. It was more a subtle knowledge that change was in the air. Yes I know, we're getting a new president and change is inevitable. But the change I felt last night and the change we all feel coming is more than a new person in office. It's a change of the culture of the United States of America.
I am really a very unpolitically-minded individual. In fact, I often feel guilty that I push hard against getting mentally or conversationally involved in politics. So, this post really has little to do with who won the elections. It has to do with change.
My question of the day is do you fear or embrace change?
We certainly cannot deny change in America has come. The question is how will leaders in the church lead their congregations to either fear or embrace it?
And we cannot deny change is needed in the church. Whether your church is highly progressive or quite traditional, change is needed. Time doesn't stand still. Will you help your congregation fear change in the church or will you lead them to embrace it. If you're a leader, you do have a choice!
Make your decision today - to be a leader in the church who embraces change!

change can be both beautiful and terrifying:
beautiful if something broken becomes something fixed
terrifying if something working is wholly scrapped
I hope to live a life that fixes which is broken and polishes what already shines- not just keeping up with the change around me but perhaps spurring it on my own...
Keep it up, Keep asking, Keep pushing, Keep growing
