I really enjoyed my meeting with Michael. We ate lunch at Kerbey Lane Cafe, which is a local Austin favorite.
Michael is the Community Pastor for The Austin Stone Community Church. We had a great time discussing all things community and mission. Rich conversation that led me to think and re-think how and why we do Community Groups.
Of course he also hooked me up with a book that he promised would “wreck” my world. Fun, just what I need. I loved Michael’s heart and passion for community, mission and all things gospel. It’s good to connect with like-minded folks and dream.
Keep making those pastoral relationships! After 17 years of church ministry, I have found the prayers with and for brothers (and sisters) in Christ to keep me sane.
