🔥 Insight from Pastor Brian Bullock of Union Church Charlotte on how to launch large.
Brian and his wife Karen started Union Church Charlotte with over 1,600 people in attendance and hundreds of people making a decision for Christ. In the latest episode of🎙️ Believe Again Podcast Powered by Parable he discussed how he got off to such a strong start.
“How did so many people find out about our church launch? We rowed hard with social media, door hangers, word of mouth, and more. Yet, it was also the wind of God that accelerated our efforts.”
“Imagine a boat. 🚣 Some row hard, creating momentum, while others rely on the wind to push them. For our church, we did both. The efforts we put in matched the momentum of the Spirit of God.”
“There’s a perfect storm when human effort meets divine acceleration. Our church’s launch was a testament to this. Strategy can work to a degree. Yet, it’s the spiritual depth, hunger for God, and character that brings the true blessing.”
“Some ask, ‘What strategy did you use?’ We had a plan, but we also heavily relied on the Spirit. There’s no need to choose between good systems or the Spirit of God. Embrace both!” 🙌 #StrategyAndSpirit
“If you have a strong right hand (systems & strategy) and a strong left hand (the Spirit of God), you can knock anything out that stands in your way!” 💪🙏 Check out the full interview on the Believe Again Podcast!
