Disruptions in Church History 4 - When Disruption Comes to Your House

websiteThumb.jpg

This is an episode of the series I didn’t expect to make. I was planning to do the final episode right about now, but then my Bishop, Rev. Dr. John K Yambasu had a fatal accident and died on August 16. And my own world turned upside down. Disruption came to my house.

So instead of putting out our last installment this week, I decided to reflect on what it looks like to navigate the disruption when it comes to your doorstep. So what I have are two truths and two untruths about disruption and grief.

Two Untruths:

  1. You can skip the grief. (You can’t.)

  2. It’s not ok to questions. (It is.)

Two Truths:

  1. What we need in grief is to worship.

  2. God raises up new leaders for every time and every generation.

Farewell, Dear Bishop. You were the real deal, one of the greatest men on the whole planet. But most importantly, you were ours. Thank you.
