Passion and Purpose

By Hillary Ascalon

PASSION AND PURPOSE Lenny Armstrong, a young handsome attorney, is a rising star at a prominent law firm in Philadelphia but he quits his job suddenly when he feels God has called him to be a pastor. However, after several years in ministry, Lenny feels like he has plateaued at his current church. He wants to be challenged more, impact people's lives more broadly, and believes pastoring a larger church will fulfill those goals. When a pastoral opening arises at a large city church in Georgia, and Lenny is appointed as the senior pastor, he is convinced this is God's answer to his prayers. Things go well for a while until a former member, Kamika Cunningham, pays an unexpected visit on Easter Sunday. From her arrival, the atmosphere heats up and she takes things to a whole new level. Deeply in love with his beautiful wife, Regina, Lenny feels confident in their relationship even after Kamika Cunningham blatantly reveals her intense attraction for him. One incident after another creates situations that test the faith and commitment of Lenny and his wife. With all the demands of managing a large church, he finds himself compounded with a multitude of issues. Eventually, they escalate into an explosive revelation that could rock the foundation of the church. As the threads in the lives of this culturally connected and class-conscious congregation begin to unravel, they will reveal things that were covered up for too long. In the end, this story weaves faith, commitment, resentment, and forgiveness into a strong spiritual fabric.
