“Impervise!”

When I run out of resources for a desired outcome, I “Impervise”!

Considering churches facing shortfalls of people and and resources, the church needs more leaders with the calling to Impervise. Impervise is a newly discovered spiritual gift that emerged by necessity in 2021, ranking right behind pastor, prophet, and teacher.

A special thanks to Austin Ross and his welding Youtube channel for reminding me of expressions I heard while in seminary in Texas.
