Tonight at Mission Church I had the privilege of honoring a living legend, Pastor Hal Schmidt. Today, he turned 99 years old. He’s the oldest yet most alive person at Mission and it’s a joy to be his pastor. For decades this man has helped people find and follow Jesus and he isn’t done yet.

Pastor Hal said he loved the Alpha and Partner courses and looks forward to the upcoming Planter Course in the fall and beginning his missional community as he heads to 100!! 🤯

In addition to all that, Hal is one of the last living WW2 veterans in Illinois. Incredible. 🫡 🇺🇸

Pastor Hal, happy 99th! I hold you in high regard. ❤️

Another Northwoods trip with the boys is in the books. No canoes or tents this time but the same laughter, pines and loons. I found a remote cabin (no electricity) in the BWCA about 15 miles outside of Ely, boat access only and it was a GEM…BONUS was its Finnish underground sauna built in 1950. Our sauna + cold plunge sessions were epic with lake temps in the mid 40’s. Our camp chef kept us well fed with a ridiculous menu, one night cooking up a “mess” of walleyes. Thankful for my tribe and already looking forward to deer camp in November.

Days like these…

Final date of Halle’s middle school career 😭😭😭

We spent time reflecting on the teachers, hardships and friendships that formed her most. Forever grateful for the amazing staff and leadership of WCGS and how they partnered with me and Kel in this season of parenting. Thank you!!

Rhythm Not Balance!

💥This is the theme this month for all things Unfinished Leadership. If you haven’t check out this month’s podcast episode. Lemme know what you think.💥

But as for this afternoon something to think on…

Balance is a myth.
Rhythm is the way of Jesus.

Jesus never lived a “balanced” life 🤔
Some days He preached to thousands.
Other days He withdrew to lonely places to pray.
Sometimes He moved quickly toward need.
Other times He intentionally slowed down… even when people were waiting AND yet He’s the greatest leader who has ever led. 🐐

Jesus didn’t live balanced.
He lived in rhythm.

Work and withdraw.
Serve and rest.
Pour out and be filled up.
Push forward and pull back.

Eugene Peterson in the MSG translation describes it as:

“The unforced rhythms of grace.” 🎯🔥

Not hurried.
Not frantic.
Not forced.
Not balanced.

Balance tries to give everything equal weight at all times. Rhythm knows every season moves to a different beat.

There are moments to push.
Moments to pause.
Moments to lead boldly.
Moments to sit quietly at the feet of Jesus.

The most sustainable leaders don’t chase balance…
They learn to live and lead with the rhythm of the Holy Spirit.

Speed up.
Slow down.
Fast.
Feast.

Afternoon Nap Club 🙋‍♂️

Rhythm ya’ll. Rhythm.

Here’s my prayer, Father give me wisdom and discernment at what You’re doing NOW. 🙏
Help me ONLY say yes to what You’re asking of me. Give me permission to rest. Give me passion to persist. Help me stay in step with the rhythm of the Holy Spirit.

“Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the UNFORCED RHYTHMS OF GRACE.” -Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬‬ MSG

It’s been a journey. Getting the flu last week was a wrinkle I didn’t anticipate but we made it through. Barely.

Here’s the 5 things I learned:

1. Stay Ready is a better program 😎
Truly it is. 50 days is plenty long and the pass/fail feature of 75 Hard is too rigid.

2. If you plan your work and work your plan, your plan will work. (usually)
Nuff said here. This skill will continue. “Make everyday a masterpiece.” -Coach Wooden

3. The days I remember most were the hardest days (Minus 10 temps, rucks in the rain, rucks in airports, workouts w a fever).

4. Accomplishing something like this is only possible with accountability and encouragement.
(Unfinished Tribe, Big Dawg, Big E, Troy & Kelly, THANK YOU.

5. The Spirit is willing. 🙌
The Holy Spirit is my advantage and gives me power to crucify the flesh …real talk = helps me walk away from the focaccia, pizza and cinnamon rolls. 😩🤦‍♂️

Today is a milestone not a finish line but tomorrow I will not be drinking 1 gallon of water and for that I say, praise Jesus. 😂 Perhaps the hardest part was giving up bread and pizza and yes, I plan to have focaccia for breakfast 🇮🇹 🤌 So excited.

My 2nd time completing 75 Hard. I highly recommend it but be forewarned…it’s named properly but if I can do it, anyone can.

Grace is a gift. Growth is a choice.
Do Hard Things.

Wisdom!

A bunch of us at Mission are SEEKING WISDOM as we seek the One who’s “hair is like wool”…if you haven’t been at Mission that makes no sense 😂

The Ancient of Days offers us Wisdom that is unmatched and one of the best ways to find the wisdom of Jesus is by reading a Proverb a day. Whatever the date is of the month, read that Proverb. Today is the 8th, so read Proverbs 8. Simple.

This was my highlight this am, how about yours?

March date w my Halle Joy. Topic this morning was FINISH STRONG. Hard to believe she only has 3 months remaining before she graduates Jr High and heads into high school. 🤯😩

When we’re close to the end of something we’re vulnerable to pull up short or mail it in…we need vision and we need prayer. We need to keep our eyes on Jesus, “the author and finisher of our faith”.

FINISH STRONG. 🏁💪🦬

It’s been almost 2 years since this hero of faith passed into glory. So many of the miracles we are witnesses to right now at Mission Church this man labored in ongoing intercessory prayer for. He fasted, he prayed big, he interceded boldly. He persisted in prayer that we would see and experience a movement of Jesus right here in The 10. Many weekends, he held down the responsibilities of our Boiler Room and many weekends he was in the front row, hands raised high worshiping Jesus in the Spirit while fighting stage 4 cancer. I will never forget him.

These are the stories of Mission I want you to know about. The faithful men and women who like that widow in Luke 18, refuse to quit but instead PERSIST IN PRAYER.

I miss you, Brother Tony. Your legacy lives on every single weekend as that boiler room continues to fill up with more men and women who will continue what you faithfully helped shoulder.
