Bienvenue en New Orleans!

INSPIRE was born out of a dream that God would take a bunch of average, ordinary, messed-up people & do something great through them. We want to live like Jesus, for Jesus... No games. No hype, No pretense. Just Jesus. We ain't there yet, by a long shot, but we'd love for you to take the journey with us! - Pastor Jeff

Like Reading a Good Book

"It's an AWESOME ride... If you can handle it."

Those are the words I often from my dad when we talk about how wild & crazy it can be following Jesus.

My journey--just like yours, I'm sure--has always had challenges and rewards. For me, the last couple of years have been especially challenging. There have been rewards, too... In fact the rewards have been like nuggets of gold dug out of the turmoil and heartache.

But recently, there seems to have been a shift... Like a break in the clouds when the sun comes beaming through.

And it has been AMAZING!

These are things I have prayed and longed for for years... Things I KNEW God wanted to do, but--honestly--things I had never seen before!

I don't just mean here, either. Jennifer & I lived through 6 years of revival at Brownsville, & I never saw these things then, either.

But I'm seeing them now!

And it is SO exciting!

It's an honor to be a part of it, too!

I was thinking today about how much fun this has been, & the perfect description came to mind.

Have you ever been reading a really good book, looking forward to turning the next page, and wondering what kind of excitement you'll find?

Well, that is EXACTLY how I feel.

And I hope you persevere in your journey long enough to get to this place.

It's like reading a good book!
