Justin Knapp, the CEO of The Space Together has focused his entire life looking for his purpose to accomplish his ambition of working with people. His destiny seems to unfold in front of him as he grew up and he realized that all the things that happened to him were a part of a divine plan that God prepared for him. At first, everything started to him as a joke of finding one’s purpose through God. But as time passes by, he came to think of the limitless possibilities that God has in store for him. Get to know his journey and be inspired by how we could all be a living manifestation of God’s plan and intervention.
“I’ve always been the young pastor in the room.” – Justin Knapp
In his career as a pastor, he chose to dwell with people that are way older than him. This is because he always finds wisdom amidst these people. And he used it on his advantage, for him to learn and benefit from such an environment. In life, we won’t have to settle in our current situation. If we feel that we are not growing or that we are not serving our purpose, then, by all means, we have to look for another place. We won’t have to settle for less.
“Millennials do not want to be in a place where they won’t be heard.” – Justin Knapp
Most of the time, the connotation about millennials is that they do not want to be part of a church because they are out of focus or it is not just their thing. The truth is, they are not fond of such thing because they feel that no one there is willing to listen to them. They think that the church is just a fool of narcissistic people who keep on speaking about themselves. They have to be listened to; they need to be heard.
“One of the number one things that I have to fight about is: Who do you think you are?” – Justin Knapp
In an ever-changing world, we sometimes doubt our existence. It is either we undervalue or overvalue our presence. There are times that when we are in doubt, we cannot help but stop for a while. But after such a pause, we have to keep moving until such time that we accomplish what we have to do.
What you will learn:
¥ Looking for one’s purpose through reflection
¥ Following God’s divine plan by understanding his will and plans
¥ Overcoming struggles throughout one’s journey
¥ Understanding the mentality behind the attitude of millennials towards attending religious activities
¥ Embracing the changes that God has in store for you
Bio:
We had space, one we committed to for five years without any guarantee about where our non-profit was going to go. But, hey, we signed it anyways! Our team moved in, slapped some paint on the walls, and started working. Then we realized we were paying to use all of our space 24/7, yet we were using 60% of the space and only 60% of the time. Houston, we have a problem.
At first, we used things like Craigslist to find people who wanted to share our space with us. It was amazing to be a part of multiple business’ growths, and bonus, we were able to cover 65% of our overhead. But, we knew Craigslist was not the most reliable way to share space. That’s when Space Together started.
We believe that your ideas are worth trying; that your dream is worth pursuing; that our communities grow when more businesses succeed. SpaceTogether exists to foster connections between people looking for space (think freelancers, new churches, and small offices) and organizations with underutilized commercial space (think an office with an extra conference room, a commercial kitchen, even a church). When your company succeeds, we succeed.
