At 9:20 this morning, before he preached a word, Pastor Patrick E. Winfield II was standing in the room with everybody else. Arms open. Head back. Eyes closed. The screen behind him still said "Cause You Are Good, so Good."
About an hour later he stood up and said this:
"You do not become a threshold crosser by crossing the threshold. You become one in the uncomfortable middle, long before you ever see the other side."
He took us to Joshua 1. Moses is dead. Egypt is behind them. Canaan is ahead of them, unpossessed. And Israel is standing in the space between the two with no map, because - Joshua 3:4 - "you have not passed this way before."
He gave that space its name. Liminality. From the Latin limin, which means threshold. The middle. The part nobody posts about.
And then he said the thing that will follow some of us into this week: the discomfort is not a sign that something went wrong. It is the normal cost of real transformation. Anxiety is what you pay to move into your future.
We opened service on 2 Chronicles 20:12 - "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you." We ended it hugging each other in the aisles.
If you are in the middle of something right now - a move, a loss, a season that ended before the next one started - you were not the only one in that room.
What are you standing on the threshold of? Tell us below. Somebody reading this is standing at the same door.
