Take a look at this amazing 14-year-old.
Over the past 8 months, he's watched grown men he looked up to disqualify themselves from ministry and literally quit on him... and then turn around to cause harm to and division in the only church he's ever known.
(BTW - This is why so many pastor's kids get angry and rebel later in life... They grow up watching church people choosing gossip over the Gospel and throwing stones at their dad. Is it any wonder why so many p.k's leave the faith?)
Over the past 8 months, 14-year-old Josiah has shown up every single Sunday morning and asked where he can help fill in the gap to serve others, even when he's learning how on the fly.

Tomorrow will be the very first Sunday since July 5th that he will have 'off.'
I am so stinkin' proud of him.
This 14-yr-old shy kid has shown more integrity and servant-leadership than grown men who get paid money to do ministry.
If this is the type of young men Life Church is discipling and producing, then put me in, Coach.
Every story matters? His story matters.
Integrity matters.
Truth matters.
Christ matters.
"And don’t be intimidated by those who are older than you; simply be the example they need to see by being faithful and true in all that you do. Speak the truth and live a life of purity and authentic love as you remain strong in your faith."
(1 Timothy 4:12)
