Unexpected Call
- John Mark Comer called Tyler Staton during the pandemic to offer him the lead pastor position at Bridgetown Church.
- Staton initially declined, but after a week of prayer and reflection, he and his wife began a discernment process.
Flourishing Soil

- This question prompted him to reconsider his initial refusal and continue the discernment process.
Answered Prayers
