I arrived in Philadelphia yesterday around noon, and met Brian Bolt. Brian is planting discipleship homes and churches in Pittsburgh, modeled after the ministry he was discipled in, Victory Outreach. I got to spend the afternoon in West Kensington getting to know Pastor Titus and some of the other Philadelphia Victory Outreach leaders.
They were patient with all of my questions and taught me a lot about the city. Vision oozes from these guys! They've already bought three buildings on their block and are praying in the rest of them! They work toward total transformation of lives, which in turn transforms the neighborhood.
Last night Brian hooked us up with tickets to the Sixers game. I'll be honest. I felt a little dirty, like I was cheating on the Pistons by sitting in another NBA team's arena. Now I'm wondering if a commitment to good missiology has to impact my allegiance to Detroit's sports teams. I know Paul became all things to all men, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to give up the Pistons and Red Wings!
Pray for me!
So does that mean your ready to give up on the Lions?

Not yet Josh. Not yet.
