Joe and Shelli wrap up "Take You At Your Word" with special guests Josh and Rachel Skelly, calling in from Wesley Chapel, Florida. Josh and Rachel planted Redemption Church just north of Tampa two and a half years ago, after Josh served as youth pastor at Topeka Baptist.
They share how God called them to Florida. A phone call from Josh's brother was the first time anyone mentioned Tampa. From there, they prayed for God to open or close the door, and He opened it.
Then they get honest about the road since:
- His Word lights the narrow road. God gave them headlights, not the whole map. Rachel says He has a habit of answering right at the last minute.
- What He starts, He finishes. About 130 people came to their launch Sunday. The next week, 15 came back, mostly their own team. They talk about the slow first year and a half and keeping their eyes on Jesus like Peter on the water.
- His Word has never failed. God has provided again and again, often through people. When Josh's brother's family moved overseas, a new family showed up for their first official Sunday that same day.
They also talk about raising kids who love Sundays, Rachel wearing just about every hat at the church, and Redemption hiring its first part-time worship leader. They even admit there's one thing they miss about Topeka besides the people: the back roads.
Josh and Rachel ask listeners to pray for spiritual growth at Redemption and for God to provide their next worship space. They're hoping to share that vision with the church by their third anniversary in February. Learn more at redemptionflorida.org or @redemptionflorida on social media.
