Praying for Gary Lamb and his family

This morning my text inbox and email have been full with questions about Gary Lamb’s resignation from Revolution Church.  Gary is a two time alumni of my coaching networks and he helped lead one of my coaching networks in Atlanta.  I consider Gary a friend.

Many pastors have emailed to asked me, “How should we respond?”  Here’s my response:

We should pray!

We should pray for Gary, Deanna, his children, Revolution Church, the staff of Revolution Church, and all that are currently hurt, angry and sad.

Now is not the time to be critical or judgmental or quick to respond.  I encourage you not to write your opinions of the announcement or your opinions about the situation or people involved on your blog.  At minimum, give it some time. . . a lot of time.  A quick response is rarely a godly response.  Do not write or tweet or post anything you will later regret.

I am praying!
