Leaving LifeWay Christian Resources is not an easy thing to do. It has been a place where I have grown personally and professionally. In the midst of my work with Envelope Service, I stumbled upon this larger meta-conversation of church funding. I had no idea this would be the conversation God had uniquely designed and prepared me to participate and contribute.

On Feb 1, I will join Generis, a consulting firm specializing in cultivating cultures of generosity and the practice of church funding. I’m honored they have opened this door of opportunity to me and were exceptionately patient with me as I discerned the will of God.

I am NOT leaving LifeWay because…
I’m in trouble.
About to be fired.
Frustrated.

OR any other negative reason you might come up with. (There is no conspiracy behind this decision. Just God’s hand moving me into a more specialized role.)

I am joining Generis because…
They graciously offered an invitation.
God’s direction is clear.
I want to refine my skills and passion as I specialize.

AND this is work that results in funding the Kingdom. (Does it get any better than that?)

I will always be grateful to all the people at LifeWay who have encouraged and challenged me along the way. A special thanks goes to Mark King and Ron Chandler who gave me permission to step out of the box and be creative. LifeWay will always hold a special place in my heart. I look forward to continuing to build upon the relationships that began at One LifeWay Plaza as I step forward into God’s direction.
