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

Have You Punched Your Pastor Today?

Yep... That's what they said.

And, believe it or not, this was a GOOD thing!

There is NO doubt that God has called Inspire to be a different church, & this statement was a PERFECT example.

It happened while we were welcoming our guests & letting them know how glad we were to have them as part of our church family today. One of the presenters, Felicia, was telling our guests that Jennifer & I would like to meet them after church at our Guest Reception. She said our guests could meet us, talk with us, punch us, tell us their stories, etc. Then Kenny asked the BIG question, "Have you punched your pastor today?"

Everyone started laughing. Not because it was a slip of the tongue, but because it fit who we are.

Kenny commented, "I wonder how many churches would ask you that question."

Not many, I'm sure.

But I am SO glad I'm a part of "that pastor-punchin' church"!

We have an amazing church family... I am SO honored to be a part of what God is doing at Inspire!

So...

Have YOU punched YOUR pastor today to show him how much you love him?
