What does it take to be an authentic leader in a rapidly changing world? In this powerful message, Dr. Roger Patterson continues our Pathways series by diving into 1 Chronicles 29 to explore the leadership of King David as he prepared for the construction of the Temple. Drawing a parallel between the 1804 Lewis and Clark expedition and the journey of the modern church, Dr. Patterson discusses how true leadership isn't just about having a resume—it’s about hacking a trail so that others can follow. He shares a candid and transparent update on the recent challenges and future vision of CityRise, including the consolidation of the Children’s Village and upcoming plans for our West U Baptist, Bellaire, and Missouri City campuses.
