Brian From talks with Tre Moore, who became senior pastor of Lakeland Church in Gurney, Illinois, a few months ago after years as a member and elder there. Tre tells how his predecessor asked him three times to consider succeeding him before he felt God’s call into ministry. He describes the best part of the job, a front-row seat to God changing lives, which he records on note cards to reread on hard days. He also describes the emotional whiplash of rejoicing and weeping with people in back-to-back meetings. Tre explains Lakeland’s mission to treasure Christ, value all people, and join God’s mission, and its focus on getting everyone into small groups and serving. About 70 percent of attenders are in a small group, and nearly a third began serving for the first time this year. He invites listeners to the church’s Fall Fest, and closes with encouragement from Jesus’ compassion for the grieving widow of Nain in Luke 7.
