Jasmine and I first put together the dream of leading a coffee house outreach in November of 2010. Since then it has been a tremendous joy and challenge. There is no way it would have lasted more than a month if either of us had done it on our own. We have prayed together, dreamed together, carried out the vision together. God was faithful to put together a team. When one is weak, the others are strong.
God puts friends in our lives to do life with us. Often they are connected to our purpose. He never intended for us to do life alone. So look around you, who are those friends in your life that God is calling you to partner with for his kingdom. Often those friends are not like you. They will challenge you in the right ways. They will inspire you and encourage you in the right ways, If we want to do something significant, it's possible to do on our own but for anything to be radical and world changing it's going to take a partner, team, a community to get involved.
Our greatest example is the Trinity. God calls himself The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is not a isolated, He lives in community and invites us into this partnership.
He's smart and I think that's a pretty smart way to do life. It's also A LOT more fun :)
