5 /5 Melissa Dent: I don’t attend the church. However, I believe by chance I briefly met a man named Paul, he recently moved here to Jacksonville and from Texas and attends this church and serves on staff on the worship team. He came in for a consultation in my office and in finding out his occupation - learning he has 18 years of pastoral experience - I took the liberty to ask a few questions that I recently started having regarding leadership and ministry in evangelical faith communities. Questions that I’ve been praying on, asking my believing friends about- never getting a really great answer. His answer was simple, yet profound, “love is our greatest tool of discernment” It was a simple reminder of what is true, but also exactly what I needed to hear to have things just “click”- it was an impactful reminder that God is listening, He cares about even the questions that we may feel are insignificant to Him, He sees our wrestle, and He wants to give us peace. Thank you Paul- for your time and your true worship= living and walking through life carrying the light on the hill. If Paul picked this church of all the churches in Jacksonville- then I would say it’s a great one!
