Cohort

The term cohort is used in academic circles to refer to a group of co-studiers. People of a similar academic focus who share research and information about common studies. But it is actually a military word. From older english cohort is in reference to a group of soldiers that train together. I knew when I start church planting that I couldn't do it alone. I knew that I needed to train and fight along side.

One of those pastors is Scott Bailey. I'm going to meet him today for lunch to catch up on the experience he's gained, and share my own. It's been a long time since we've been able to get together and during that time he has gone though some deep waters.

I always look at opportunities like this through the lens of Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another." Always an opportunity to get sharper.
