The Power of Kindness

With each passing year, that cultural gap between the culture of Portland and the way of Jesus is wider and wider. When you walk through the door into this community, you step into a whole new cultural ecosystem. And I love your hunger for Jesus. It's just palpable in the room. Your desire to follow Jesus and apprentice under him together and let him form you into a person of the fruit of the spirit. You can't fake that. The best of leadership cannot visioneer it or organize it or put it into a five-year plan. That is you saying yes to what the spirit of Jesus is saying yes to in you. So well done.
