Learning Season
I'm currently in a steep learning curve season of life. My new role at LifeChurch.tv has put me in a place of having to stretch mentally, spiritually, relationally, and professionally. Learning how to interact with my team, learning from mistakes as a project manager, feeling the weight of working with super-smart people and trying make it look easy, figuring out how to work 1000 miles from my colleagues and not feel disconnected...it's hard.
There are certainly some upsides to this learning season. I'm learning what it feels like to be a part of something big, monumental, historic, God-sized. I'm learning how to lead and how to follow. I'm learning how to handle small failures with grace and move on. I'm learning that people can feel like family, even though you've known them for a short time, only met once, and live 1000 miles apart.
God is moving in my life in new ways; ways I haven't seen him move before. Very subtle movements, like nudges. He's teaching me to balance drive and patience, confidence and humility, accountability and kindness, ambition and generosity.
He's using every single person I work with to teach me something that changes me for the better. I see passionate and talented software developers sold-out to a vision of seeing the Bible reach people around the world. I see successful people take a pay cut, demotion, and step out of the lime-light to be a part of reaching people with the Gospel. It's overwhelming and I thank God for every moment of this season in my life.
