JUST DO IT | Pastor Daniel Foster

I know for the last five weeks, Pastor Carl has been challenging our entire church to go all in.

And we've talked about what it looks like to stop holding pieces of our lives back from God and to trust him completely, to surrender completely, to follow Jesus with everything that we have.

And while Pastor Carl has been preaching all in to you, God has been working all in out within my family.

And for us, all in has become very real.

I've had the privilege of being here at Relevant Church for eight and a half years.

And for almost six of those years, I have had the privilege and the honor of serving as the youth pastor.

I love our students.

If you know me, you know that.

I love our students.

I love our leaders.

I love getting to watch teenagers meet Jesus and getting to take their next steps in baptism and to build relationships and to use their gifts to serve.

Y'all seen how many students we have serving in this church? That is incredible.

I know a few months back they said, hey, we need to have a student takeover where every student, I'm like, look at Sunday.

They already are.

They're everywhere.

They're everywhere.

I love watching our students step into their purpose and to serve and to take steps in their faith.

And some of the greatest moments of my life has happened here while serving the next generation.

I think about our summer camps.

I think about our student baptisms.

I think about our Christmas tree cake takeover.

If you know, you know.

I think about these great moments.

And I'm excited and I'm proud of those moments.

And as I prepare to transition into this next season as the campus pastor of Griffin, there are parts of the transition that scare me.
