Some days, I just feel waves of gratitude wash over me. Why? Because of the people I work with. Our team at North Point, the Lead Pastors of our Partners and their staffs, and the amazing volunteers who help with 15, mostly setup/teardown churches. I honestly cannot believe I get to do what I get to do, and it all contain so much meaning and sheer joy. I’ve laughed and celebrated more over the last 7 years on staff than my previous 30 years of life.
Can you say the same? Do you really appreciate the people around you? Especially, if you’re involved in the church? Do you laugh, celebrate and cheer on your peers? The people you lead? The people who lead you?
Guess what? If you can’t honestly say that you do, or argue that your work is full of important tasks or that what you’re striving for matters more to God than those people you make the journey with, you are missing the entire point! God gave everything for relationships - ours to Him and us to others. When it’s all said and done for you and I, the measure of our worth isn’t in tasks or accomplishments, but in the impact we made upon the lives of those around us. Make sure you’re pouring your best efforts into the thing God cares most about.
Hi, I'm Scott and this is my bio attempt. God has a sense of humor... I work at a church. That's not the path I figured coming out of grad school, but when He called, thankfully I didn't try to win a battle of merits between my plan and His. So, how'd that play out? Well, in 2001 I left commercial real estate and went on staff at North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, GA. This place captured my heart the first time I walked in the doors. God, thanks for letting me do this for as long as you let me do it!
