#1 I left Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, California, after years of doing great things. I was pastor of Cornerstone for over sixteen years, and I enjoyed every moment of it. However, people are still asking me why I left.

#2 I had a crazy idea in 1994: I wanted to start a church out of my house. I was determined to create something different from what I had experienced before. I wanted all of us to sing directly to God, hear the Word of God deeply, and live holy lives.

#3 The elders of the church began to wonder whether their definition of a church was adequate. They questioned the level of love they had for one another, and how everything had grown dependent on one person.

#4 I began to see that the church was holding back others who should have been leading. I began to release some of my staff members and elders into new ministries, and they grew from being given the opportunity to pastor.
