Acts 10:28b (NLT) …But God has shown me that I should no longer think of anyone as impure or unclean.
At the Global Leadership Summit 2019, Danielle Strickland described five stages of transition: 1) Settled (feels good); 2) Unsettled (stressful disruption); 3) Chaos (you’ve left what you know but aren’t to the new place yet—it is scary, yet exciting); 4) Arrival at the new place (but doesn’t feel like home); and 5) the new normal (finally). The journey from stage one to stage five can be overwhelming. Consider Peter’s Jewish context when Cornelius showed up at his door (read the whole story). Consider the challenges of the early church as they moved toward a new normal of faith in Jesus Christ. Are you in transition? What stage? Take peace in knowing that He is leading you safely to your new destination.
