Bryant Cornett can’t believe he’s here.
For 35 years Cornett followed the rules and got ahead. He went to the Johns Hopkins University, circled the globe twice, started a business in Vietnam, moved to Atlanta, married the girl, had a great family and generally won. But it wasn't enough.
Things Cornett thought would have filled him five years before, were status quo. Growing up in Amarillo, Texas, Cornett had been brought up in the church, but unanswered questions gnawed at him. Questions like, "How does this look in real life?" and "What's a man to do with that in this world?" and "What if I want something else more?"
In 2009 Cornett began an earnest pursuit of God. Things changed. Physics changed. The things that had been so important before, became insignificant in the context of a greater understanding of the Gospel and the story at play.
Cornett is still a commercial real estate broker in Atlanta with a wife from the Mississippi Delta, three great kids, a dog named Cocoa Cola Cornett, and a lizard named Leopard (for now). And nothing has been the same since.
A wealthy benefactor commissioned Picasso to paint a new work for a grand party. A month out, she called and the master never responded. A week out, she called and still no response. She began calling daily until the morning of the party, she showed up at Picasso's studio. Waking the old man, she reminded him of his commitment to her and demanded to see the painting.
He walked over to a blank canvas and over the next 20 minutes, he brushed the canvas with all the colors he had mixed and at hand. Then he turned, and gave his benefactor the painting. Affronted, the rich woman said, "I paid you a fortune for this and you only spent 20 minutes on it." To which Picasso answered, "No madam. I took me my whole life."
Full Porch Press is a ministry nearly 40 years in the making. No one would have planned it like this, but for those who look closely enough, they'll see the excellence of God's plan in this.
Our mission is to move the Gospel into the discussion. For too long, we have asked the Gospel to recline in the last place, at the end of the ballroom, farthest away from the throne we build for ourselves. And we never bother to move the Gospel up higher, into the place of honor.
Through multiple media interfaces, Full Porch Press seeks to make the Gospel the topic you're dying to discuss with friends, your spouse and your children. It is the story of humanity, and understanding it better (even if not fully) will change the world.
