Exponential is running a really helpful series of stories on sifting.
A recent post featured ELI Cultivate planters Josh and Lisa Husmann. God
has used them to plant a great church, Mercy Road, in the
Indianapolis area.
In the process God also gave them Jaxton, whose very
short life was used in very unexpected ways. Josh and Lisa’s faithfulness is
a great testimony. You can read the story here and watch the video
below.
I was recently asked this same sort of qutesion. What came to mind at the time was attitude and perspective. Constantly maintaining a positive attitude has been crucial for our three years as church planters. If you are a glass half empty kind of a person it could prove difficult to recover from the rough times that will surely come your way.
