As you all know, Yuri Star, Travis Gates and I started Church Media Group in 2006, but as of August 22nd I will be starting a new adventure with the guys over at Oven Bits. I have learned a lot here. My time at Church Media Group has been the best times of my life under the leadership of Yuri and Travis. Those guys poured so much into my life and have helped shaped me into what I am today. I am very grateful for them. It definitely is a bittersweet moment, but at the same time, Laura and I our excited about this new adventure. 2012 has been an awesome year so far. We had Truett Brooklyn in July, Yesterday we moved closer to Gateway Church to be near our church community, starting at Oven Bits as their Creative Director this month and hosting my first ever creative conference Circles in September. We are excited for what the Lord has in store for us this year and the next.
Cheers,
Ish

What an amazing new direction for you. Change can be hard, but it’s often the greatest way to learn. And with all the changes you’re making of late, this one seems like a wonderful addition to your plate. I can’t wait to see what you produce with this new partnership.
I wish you the best of luck—always.

Wow Ish, that’s a lot of changes!! Me and Ash have also had a ton of changes in the past year (had our second kid, left my full-time role at CURE, closing on our first house today actually), and it’s always cool to be in a season of change.
Godspeed as you pursue his plan for your lives!
