About Curtis
Changemakers: The Leaders Reshaping Communities Around the World
With massive changes afoot in technology, the economy, and politics, communities across the U.S.—and around the world—are strained. In fact, the notion that our social fabric is fraying is one of the few things on which most seem to agree. Not many, however, are able to come together on a solution.
Going to Bat for Kids
As the 2007 Major League Baseball season dawned, Curtis Granderson's star was on the rise. He was the Detroit Tigers' starting center fielder, coming off a year when he hit a notable .302 with 23 home runs, and his team competed in the World Series. At 26 years old, the Chicago-born Granderson had a long and promising career to look forward to.
His adopted hometown, however, was suffering. A recession was looming, and Detroit would become one of the worst-impacted cities in America.
"It hit really hard in Michigan. You saw things like medical institutions closing, dentists closing, schools being affected," Granderson says. "I remember our manager, Jim Leyland, mentioned, 'Remember how you guys conduct yourself in the city here. You have a lot of people that are really looking at you guys as an outlet to the frustration of what's going on in their day.' "
Granderson learned that the graduation rate in the Detroit public school system was just 50%. For Granderson—whose parents were educators, and who himself was in the minority of baseball players with a college degree—this figure struck him. "I just was like, wow, only half of the students who start high school here end up graduating? That's obviously not going to help this problem that's going on here."
Granderson realized that as a professional baseball player, he was in a unique position to help. That year, he launched the Grand Kids Foundation, a nonprofit that champions youth development through education, physical fitness, and nutrition. Over the past dozen years, Grand Kids has bloomed into an international organization that has introduced more than 1.5 million children to baseball, and provided more than 20 million meals to families in need in 35 cities in the U.S. and Canada. And Granderson, 38, a three-time All-Star in his 16th professional season, has built himself a lasting legacy as much off the field as on it.
Grand Kids' success was far from a sure thing when it launched in 2007. When Granderson first began raising funds for the foundation, he soon realized he had to lower his expectations. "I remembered seeing stories and watching other foundations and fund-raisers raise six figures, seven figures, and I was like, all right cool, that's my goal, I've seen them do it, I'm ready to do it," he recalls. "And I think we raised five, maybe 10 thousand dollars [during the first fund-raiser]. And I took it as a disappointment. But then I took a step back and thought, man, $10,000 is still going to help individuals. It's not going to help as many of them as we can today, but it's still going to help."
With those initial contributions, Grand Kids started teaching kids in Detroit about the importance of education in all aspects of life, and encouraging them to play baseball.
In 2009, Granderson became Major League Baseball's representative for Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign, which aimed to reduce childhood obesity—an opportunity that propelled Grand Kids in a new direction. "That brought in the idea of, hey, we've got the kids playing baseball, and we're getting them active—let's also turn that into helping to fight the childhood-obesity epidemic," Granderson says.
Grand Kids launched the Fitness Challenge, in coordination with athletic-footwear company New Balance, to teach young people about the importance of fitness and nutrition. The organization also focused on the issue of food insecurity. "We have kids throughout the United States who don't know where their next meal is coming from," Granderson says. In 2018 alone, Grand Kids was able to provide 2.5 million meals.
"We have kids throughout the United States who don't know where their next meal is coming from. "
—Curtis Granderson
Throughout his career, which has taken him to teams across the Majors—including the New York Yankees and Mets, the Toronto Blue Jays, and, currently, the Miami Marlins—Granderson has brought Grand Kids with him.
Each year, the Grand Kids Summer Series brings between 800 to 1,000 inner-city youth to their first baseball games. In Houston, after Hurricane Harvey, Grand Kids teamed with the No Kid Hungry campaign to feed children in need. Last year in Toronto, it drew over 1,000 children to the New Balance Fitness Challenge.
Granderson is also active in his hometown of Chicago, where in 2013 he donated $5 million of his own money to help build a baseball stadium at his alma mater, the University of Illinois at Chicago. The stadium, named in Granderson's honor, hosts over 10,000 children at Grand Kids programs each year.
In 2016, Granderson was awarded both the Marvin Miller Man of the Year Award, presented by the MLB Players Association to a player whose on-field achievements and community work inspire others, and MLB's Roberto Clemente Award, for the player who best exemplifies sportsmanship and community involvement. (Last year, he won the Marvin Miller Award for a second time.)
As his baseball career winds down, fans now recognize him for his achievements both on the field—he's one of only four players in history to hit 20 singles, 20 doubles, 20 home runs and steal 20 bases in a single season—and for his off-field community-building.
"You'd have fans that would recognize you—'Hey Curtis, I'm a Detroit Tigers fan, or a Yankee fan, or a Mets fan'—and then you'd also hear people follow it up with, 'I love what you're doing in the community with your Grand Kids Foundation,' " Granderson says. "That was the part that would hit home. Yes, the baseball side and the athletic side was going to be out in the forefront. But the fact that people were listening and seeing that we are doing some things in the community, that's when I realized we are making an impact."

Niners Win NFC West, Earn First-Round Bye
San Francisco rebounds from last week's loss to beat Arizona 27-13 in regular-season final and finish 11-4-1
By Doug Williams	• Published December 30, 2012 • Updated on December 30, 2012 at 8:30 pm
Things couldn't have worked out better for the 49ers Sunday.
Just a week after getting mauled by the Seattle Seahawks on national TV, the 49ers rebounded Sunday at Candlestick Park by beating the Arizona Cardinals 27-13 to clinch the NFC West championship.
When the Packers then lost a 37-34 decision to the Vikings, San Francisco (11-4-1) earned the NFC's No. 2 playoff seed (behind Atlanta) and a first-round bye in the postseason.
That gives the 49ers two weeks off until they host a playoff game at Candlestick. The Niners will face the highest-seeded team still alive from next weekend's wild-card matchup of Minnesota at Green Bay or Seattle at either Washington or Dallas (which play Sunday night).
Local news from across Southern California
105 freeway 1 hour ago
Pasadena 8 hours ago
It's the second straight division championship for San Francisco in head coach Jim Harbaugh's second season, but the 49ers started slowly against the Cards.
Arizona took a 6-0 lead early in the second quarter on two Jay Feely field goals, but then the 49ers responded with a 49-yard pass from Colin Kaepernick to Michael Crabtree to take a 7-6 lead at halftime.
San Francisco extended its lead to 17-6 on a 43-yard David Akers field goal and Crabtree's 7-yard TD catch in the third quarter, then pushed its lead to 27-6 in the final period on Frank Gore's 2-yard run and a short Akers field goal, ensuring a second straight division title.
Going into Sunday's regular-season finale, the Niners knew they needed a win to capture the division. A loss and a win by the Seahawks over the Rams (Seattle eventually won in OT, 20-13) would have given the division title to Seattle.
Kaepernick, who had a disappointing performance in the loss at Seattle the previous week, responded by throwing for 276 yards and two TDs without an interception. Eight of his 16 completions (in 28 throws) went to Crabtree, who had a career-high 172 receiving yards.
All told, the 49ers had 407 yards of total offense and held the Cardinals – who were starting quarterback Brian Hoyer for the first time – to 262 net yards.
Though the 49ers sacked Hoyer twice, 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was shut out,
That means he ends the season with a team-record 19½, but wasn't able to record one in the team's final three games, falling short of the NFL record of 22½ held by Michael Strahan of the Giants (set in 2001). Since the elbow injury suffered by right defensive end Justin Smith against the Patriots in Game No. 14, teams have been able to give more attention to Aldon Smith.
There was also one nice touch at the end of the game:
Alex Smith, replaced at quarterback by Kaepernick after suffering a concussion in November, got in for several plays late in the game and was greeted by cheers and chants of "Al-ex! Al-ex!" by San Francisco's fans.
According to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee, Smith appreciated the fans' reaction.
"Very humbling," Smith told Barrows. "To go out there and get that sort of response – it was very cool."
Now comes something even more cool, indeed, for the 49ers – another trip to the playoffs and a first-round bye.

Jared and Stephanie have a love story right out of a movie– they met in high school– in English class of all places– and even went to prom together.
After six years of dating, they decided it was time to get married and Isla Mujeres was the perfect place to do so. Sunhorse wedding coordinators helped Stephanie and Jared plan their destination wedding from afar and allowed the couple have control of every detail they desired, including finding a private location for the ceremony at Zama Beach Club. Their wedding day started out small but intimate, with the couple eating breakfast together on the sand.
Stephanie and Jared chose Isla Mujeres for the location of their wedding because of the prevalence of the culture, the people, the food, and the stunning scenery. The wedding party spent some time at an old Yucatecan-style home near the downtown area, marveling at the beauty of the location and the weathered and unique feel one can see here.
The couple went to Punta Sur for a photo session just before the ceremony. At the southern tip of the island, Punta Sur is an island park with modern metal sculptures (showing the effects of the proximity to the ocean) and walkways that explore both sides of the peninsula. It's the perfect place for an engagement photo session on Isla Mujeres.
The couple climbed up rocks and out onto ledges to pose for some incredible shots of ocean, sun, and sky. Some days, the gentle ocean breezes keep the temperatures cool. However, on this day, a strong wind was blowing from the east and made for some interesting photos. As the winds kicked up, the waves crashed closer and closer to the couple during photos–but as luck would have it–not a single splash would ruin their wedding clothes. We kept saying, "Are you sure you want to go down this path?" They never hesitated and we were all rewarded with some cool photos and some great memories. Plus, only one of the photographers got wet!

The Top Upcoming Movies of Summer 2018
By Hannah Elston • Western Contributor March 24, 2018 at 5:22pm
Even though it's still pretty frosty outside and summer doesn't seem to be coming anytime soon, the season of exciting summer movies will soon be upon us. There are so many different types of movies being released throughout the summer months. You should expect lots of sequels including Jurassic Park, Deadpool, and Mission Impossible. There will also be some cool animated films including The Incredibles 2 and action-packed thrillers like the much anticipated Ocean's Eight.
You should definitely set aside some time during your summer to watch these exciting new movies that will be sure to knock your socks off!
Deadpool 2 (May 16th)
If you loved the first action-packed Deadpool, this movie is for you. Deadpool rang in a cool $500 million dollars in the box office back in 2016, so there are some high expectations for this sequel to be a big hit too. Expect lots of fights, stunts, and a new adventure for Deadpool.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25)
This new addition to the Star Wars family is expected to be a great hit at the box office. It follows the story of Han Solo before joining the Rebellion and all the great adventures he has with his co-pilot Chewbacca. Stars like Emilia Clarke, Woody Harrelson, and Donald Glover all take part in this great story!

Ocean's Eight (June 8)
Sandra Bullock leads the star-studded cast of Ocean's Eight as the head mastermind behind the heist of the century at the Met Gala. Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Rihanna, and many more are right by her side throughout all of the action. This movie will be full of action and drama, something I definitely don't want to miss and neither should you.

The Incredibles 2 (June 15)
This is a sequel to the first highly successful film, The Incredibles. Contrary to the first, this Pixar film focuses on the different superhero adventures of Elastigirl and her husband, Mr. Incredible. Prepare for this long-awaited sequel to have much more animated action and laughs!
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (June 22)
This is the second installment of the ever-so-famous Jurassic World with stars like Chris Pratt and Jeff Goldblum. The audience will get a close look into the destruction of the Jurassic World Theme Park. The main characters, Owen Grady and Claire Dearing, return to the island to try and save the dinosaur species from a disastrous volcano threatening to destroy everything. You won't want to miss this exciting thriller!
Photo from Jurassic World Official Site
The First Purge (July 4)
This upcoming American action dystopian horror film and the fourth installment in the Purge franchise takes on the same type of aggressive and violent format as the previous films. This film touches upon the various viewpoints of the current political state of the United States in a very horror-like way by still including the 12-hour killing spree. If you liked the previous Purge movies or horror movies are really just your thing, maybe you should give this one a try!
Mamma Mia 2 (July 20)
This sequel to the lovable and original musical, Mamma Mia, will get you singing in no time! The storyline follows Sophie finding out that she is pregnant after her mother has already passed away. Her mother's best friends come to support her and share her mother's story about her pregnancy and her life before Sophie was born. Expect beautiful panoramic shots of Greece, colourful outfits and lots of singing! This is the summer movie that I will definitely make time to see this summer, what's better than amazing music, beautiful scenery and all the characters we've known to love.
Photo from Collider
Mission Impossible: Fallout (July 27)
Get ready for another action-packed spy film with the legendary Tom Cruise! This movie follows the adventures of Ethan Hunt and the many complications that come when a mission doesn't go the way they plan. If you love crazy stunts and huge explosions, put this movie on your summer bucket list.

Christopher Robin (August 3)
Winnie the Pooh and his sidekicks reunite with an adult version of Christopher Robin, played by Ewan McGregor. This movie mixes lovable animated characters with a real-life storyline to really connect with the audience and as always create classic Disney magic. You definitely don't want to miss out on this adorable comeback and fulfill all your childhood desires!
Slenderman (August 24)
The ongoing tale of the Slenderman is the main focal point in this movie as the audience follows the horrifying creature that is suspected to be responsible for many missing children and teens. Expect lots of gore and creepy scenes that will make you shiver with fear. This is another must-watch if you're into horror movies and love to get scared!
Photo from Paste Magazine
Even though it may not even be spring yet, I am totally ready for those summer months... so bring on the movies! I will definitely be seeing a couple of these movies to spice up the months ahead. Also, the best way to watch movies with your friends or that special someone in the summer is at an ever-so-classic drive-in. It is the best way to relax, eat popcorn and watch your favourite movie in the trunk of your car!

Friends cheered me on and celebrated all of my my successes along the way.
Join for the cheapest wholesale price even tho I didn't know how I would pay for it next month.
I was shown a simple system of how to share with out selling and earned enough $$ to pay for my products that first month!
I joined without asking my husband. I just did it. He began thanking me for my decision early on and ever since.
If your spouse can trust you shopping at Target on stuff you don't need he can trust your decision to improve your health shopping on a Plexus website.
I decided I would share my story and others because I knew people were struggling with both the things I struggled with … health and finances.
It's not selling. It's sharing something that's too good not too. We just happen to get rewarded generously for sharing.
Friends there is so much HOPE ♥for you!!
So many of my friends and family have been blessed health wise and money wise by joining me … it's a GOOD feeling being a difference maker.


I'd be interested to hear from anyone who knows a little more about the NDC. I believe the badge would have originally been chrome plated and enamelled in white so in time I will try to get it restored as it would look great on the grille of my Datsun WP312 estate. I am still curious to know the story as to how this badge ended up here in the UK!
Yeah, it's a shame the pics weren't a little bigger!

HEED Award is the only national honor for higher education excellence in diversity and inclusion
A long-standing commitment to diversity and inclusive excellence bolstered by an ambitious new five-year plan has earned the University of Georgia national recognition for the eighth consecutive year.
The INSIGHT Into Diversity Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award recognizes colleges and universities that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion. UGA has earned this national honor each year since 2014.
"I deeply appreciate this national recognition, once again, of the University of Georgia's wide-ranging initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion," said President Jere W. Morehead. "While there is more work to be done, it is exciting to see the gains we are making in this critical area through meaningful investment of resources and the dedicated efforts of the UGA community."
'A bold path forward'
The university's Diversity and Inclusive Excellence Plan, which was adopted in May, was developed by a 21-member committee that included faculty, staff, student, alumni and community representation. After conducting more than 40 focus groups, the committee identified 11 goals with key performance indicators that will be used to measure the university's progress over the next five years. Throughout the current academic year, schools, colleges, and other campus units will develop plans that support the diversity and inclusive excellence goals.
"The three overriding priorities of the plan are building an inclusive living/learning environment; recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce; and expanding partnerships and outreach to strengthen diverse communities," said Michelle Cook, vice provost for diversity and inclusion and strategic university initiatives and co-chair of the committee. "The university community has charted a bold path forward with actionable and measurable goals."
Cook noted that several action steps that support the 11 goals already have been implemented. The expansion of the Road Dawgs Program increases the recruitment of students from rural and racially diverse schools across Georgia, for example, while the establishment of the Dawn D. Bennett-Alexander Inclusive Community Award increases recognition for faculty efforts to promote diversity and inclusion. A gift of an additional $1 million from the UGA Foundation will match future gifts to the need-based Georgia Commitment Scholarship Program. Since the program was established in 2017, more than 600 endowed, need-based scholarships have been created.
A long-standing commitment
The new and expanded programs implemented through the Diversity and Inclusive Excellence Plan build upon several successful programs that have been established in recent years, as well some that have been in place for more than a decade.The ALL Georgia Program, which was established in 2018, provides students from rural parts of the state with a network of resources and common experiences. The program also provides financial aid to six outstanding students from rural Georgia. The Georgia African American Male Experience began in 2014 as a two-day program for accepted students and has since expanded to offer academic skill enrichment, student support services, mentoring and leadership development.
Several units within the Division of Student Affairs—such as the LGBT Resource Center, Disability Resource Center, Office of International Student Life, Office of Multicultural Services and Programs, and Student Veterans Resource Center—offer students support and mentorship tailored to their specific needs. In addition, Department of Education-funded TRIO programs administered by the Division of Academic Enhancement serve students from families with low-incomes, first-generation college students and students with disabilities.
UGA has several programs in place to promote diversity in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), including the Peach State Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation and the DeLTA project, both of which are funded by the National Science Foundation. Several programs at the school and college level are in place as well, including the Young Scholars Internship Program in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and an exploratory academy in the College of Veterinary Medicine for students from underrepresented and underserved rural communities. The latter was one of 79 programs nationwide honored by INSIGHT Into Diversity with a 2021 Inspiring Programs in STEM Award. It is also one of several programs funded by the New Approaches to Promote Diversity and Inclusion grants program created by Morehead in 2019.
Programs serving the Athens-Clarke County community include a partnership with the nonprofit Chess & Community that uses robotics to enhance STEM education and a program known as Georgia Possible that helps students develop leadership skills and career interests.
To promote faculty diversity, the Office of Faculty Affairs has developed a training for search committee members that focuses on implicit bias and attracting a diverse pool of applicants.
Through the university's membership in the Aspire Alliance iChange Network, which is affiliated with the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, a team of faculty and academic leaders is developing an institutional action plan to promote diversity among STEM faculty. The Center for Teaching and Learning also offers workshops on the use of inclusive teaching practices.
Participation in the university's voluntary Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion program, which was launched nearly a decade ago, has grown dramatically in recent years. Based on a recommendation of the Presidential Task Force on Race, Ethnicity and Community, a new, privately supported diversity education coordinator position has expanded the capacity of the institution to provide diversity education, consultation and support.
"The University of Georgia community has been making significant progress in fostering a more diverse and inclusive environment," said S. Jack Hu, the university's senior vice president for academic affairs and provost. "I extend my deepest appreciation to all of the faculty, staff, students and alumni for their effort and commitment."


Vanguard has been the prime beneficiary of the surge of interest in low-cost investing. Do you think Vanguard's leadership in this area is the primary reason, or are other factors at play?
We've seen record net new investment into Vanguard over the last several years, and the pace has been accelerating. We're humbled by that and gratified, because it demonstrates that our way of investing is making sense to more and more investors. It's also a recognition in the marketplace of just how difficult it is to beat low-cost, highly diversified portfolios.
But to truly maximize investors' chances of success, it takes more than low costs. It takes deep experience and quality funds that can be used to build balanced and diversified portfolios for the long term. It takes smart investment research that leads to sensible asset allocation plans. And it takes giving clients sound insights into the investing and economic environments that will prevent them from making mistakes that can take years to repair.
We've always been about lowering costs, but we've also always balanced that with constantly improving the experience for our clients.
Vanguard has lowered costs further this year. Do you expect to keep doing so?
Mr. McNabb: It's tempting to chalk up Vanguard's recent expense ratio reductions as the latest shot fired in some industry "fee war," but this really is business as usual for us. We've been lowering costs for four decades—and we'll continue to do that. That's a win for investors.
But, again, this isn't a race to see who can offer the lowest fees. Low fees are just one component of a successful investment portfolio. The way I look at it is: Low costs are necessary, but they aren't—on their own—sufficient.
You also need to give investors the right tools to make informed decisions and encourage greater savings rates, prudent asset allocation, and discipline. That's where Vanguard has really spent a lot of time and resources.
Let's talk about those tools. What is Vanguard doing to continually improve clients' experiences?
Mr. McNabb: Our investors come to us for a couple of reasons. They expect the investment product to be very high-quality, low-cost, and enduring in nature. But there's also an expectation that we're going to provide the right kinds of services to help them make the best decisions so they can stay informed about what's happening both within their portfolios and in the world at large.
First, we want to make life easier and more convenient for clients. That's where a lot of technology resources have gone in recent years. You can see that in the enhanced experience for our clients on mobile devices and on the web.
Second, technology, at the most basic level, can provide efficiencies that allow us to do more for our clients at a lower cost. We often refer to this as using the scalability of the business for our clients' benefit.
Third, we deploy technology to help our crew [employees] help our clients even more. The technology that we use in our Personal Advisor Services offering is a good example.
There's an emerging fourth category that is attracting a lot of our attention. I'll call it infrastructure. We're a large employer, at this point nearly 17,000 people, and we run complex operations. In order to manage risk appropriately, in order to manage our people appropriately, we need to really invest on the "insides" of Vanguard. Two areas come to mind: cybersecurity and investment management. In short, we've invested considerably to protect clients' confidential information and assets, and in our investment management infrastructure to be more effective and efficient in managing your money, with the objective of improving returns.
You mentioned Personal Advisor Services, or PAS. Can you talk a little more about that service?
It's clear that investors are getting their advice from multiple sources. Regardless of how they obtain it, what do you think constitutes good investment advice?
Mr. McNabb: A good advisor should be focused solely on what's in the best interest of the client.
To provide good advice, that advisor—whether it's a human being, a computer algorithm, or a combination of the two—has to know the investor's goals. That seems really simple, but when you press many investors, they actually have multiple goals. You have to get a clear understanding of what those goals are and where they may compete with one another. The overall asset allocation of an investor's portfolio is also crucial. Anybody who's providing advice has got to get that right.
Another important role an advisor can provide is discipline. The very best advisors can keep their clients from overreacting to market "noise," and they can add a ton of value by systematically rebalancing their clients' portfolios and informing clients how to react to different external factors. To me, that part of the advice equation is what adds the most value because you can get the goals right, you can get the asset allocation right, but if the client reacts to noise and changes the allocation, you undo all the value.
The last thing I'd say is that good advice can't be so expensive that the cost erodes the value of the advice. In a lower-return environment, which we expect over the next decade or so, costs for investors will become even more important.
Vanguard also has been investing in service enhancements to deal with the significant growth in assets we manage. How are those initiatives coming along?
Mr. McNabb: We've had to make a lot of changes internally to accommodate growth because the numbers are at such an unprecedented level. We've had service challenges that we're not particularly proud of, but we've tried to respond quickly and aggressively. We'll continue to do that.
Our recent growth—and that of some of our competitors—has triggered a debate about whether indexing is becoming too big. How do you respond?
Mr. McNabb: Regarding the indexing question broadly, the short answer is no. Indexing represents only 15% of global equity market value and a little more than 3% of fixed income market value. And it's a fraction of actual trading volume.
To me, what the flows into indexing represent is a realization in the marketplace of just how difficult it is to beat low-cost, highly diversified portfolios. As an aside, we've actually seen clients invest a fairly large amount of money into some of our actively managed funds, both on the equity side and the fixed income side.
The debate shouldn't be indexing versus active; it's low cost versus high cost. If you're going to be successful as an active manager—and we do think there's a place for active—it needs to be low-cost active. We've always been a champion of that.

Josh Whitehead on Leading from the Second Chair

Podcast (video): Play in new window | Download | Embed
We're happy to be back and talking today with Josh Whitehead from Faith Promise Church in Knoxville, TN. Faith Promise has been around for 20 years and started in Oak Ridge, TN, without a pastor. The original group wanted to impact the unchurched in their community by being a different kind of church. The church now has 5 campuses and reaches over 6,000 people at its locations.
Listen in as Josh chats about reaching the unchurched and how executive pastors can deepen their work and relationships with their senior pastors. Here are a few of the tips he gave in today's podcast.
Previous church experiences can hinder a connection with Christ. // As Josh says, a lot of people have had a church experience at some point in their lives, but still they may not have really walked with Christ. Their lives are broken and they need to be reached and shown that their previous experiences are not what connecting with Christ is all about.
Support your senior pastor. // Josh now works as the executive pastor at Faith Promise and has learned a lot of things working in that position. The biggest lesson he's learned is how important it is to have a relationship with the senior pastor. This allows both the executive pastor and senior pastor to trust each other on a deep level.
Figure out what your senior pastor values. // As executive pastor, Josh's job is to implement the vision set forth, not to create it. So it is vital that the executive pastor understand and know what it is the senior pastor wants most out of his ministry and how to spread those values. That allows the executive pastor to do his job effectively.
Work to be ahead of your senior pastor. // The executive pastor needs to be able to look around the corner and see what's coming up. Leaders want the people under them to be one step ahead of them. "They're looking for us to elevate valuable ideas to solve unrealized problems," Josh says. "Visionaries see things that are 75% done as done." That last 25% is often the hardest part of the whole project. Show your leader that you support him by helping to solve that last 25% and get it done.
Make it collaborative. // The hardest part of growing a church is to have people in the room that can make decisions. It can be difficult to get things moving. So make it a collaborative effort between different groups.
There is a season where you're a learner and a season when you both teach the other. // It can start out with the senior pastor doing all of the teaching and you as the executive pastor absorbing 100% of the time. But after a while, this changes and you both develop each other. As your relationship deepens and you move forward, you both grow and learn from each other.
You can learn more about Faith Promise Church at their website FaithPromise.org or reach Josh directly by email at [email protected].

Rich – Well hey everybody, welcome to the unSeminary podcast. This is Rich Birch your host around these parts. We are back from a hiatus, we've been off for almost two months now. Well we're up over 100 episodes and I am so honored to have Josh Whitehead with us today from Faith Promise Church, he's the executive pastor there, he's a friend, a great guy, it's going to be a great learning today. Josh welcome to the show.
Josh – Hey Rich it's so good to be with you man, I love the unSeminary podcast and I can't wait to get into the thoughts that we get to be a part of today.
Rich – Oh nice, I really appreciate that. So why don't you tell us about Faith Promise, you guys are in Knoxville Tennessee. My dad used to work in Knoxville, I was thinking about this this morning, he used to work in a company where he'd go down to Knoxville and so I have some sense of that part of the country, but why don't you tell us a little bit about your church?
Josh – Yeah, Faith Promise, we've had the opportunity to be here just a little over 12 years and came here to actually start a work for young adults believe it or not.
Rich – Okay, nice.
Josh – In that season Faith Promise was just a church, about 800 people. It had started in a community called Oak Ridge Tennessee and a lot of people know Oak Ridge believe it or not.
Rich – Infamous.
Josh – Yeah, the technology and some of the things that have come out of there.
Rich – Yeah.
Josh – So the church started there without a pastor.
Rich – Interesting.
Josh – A group of people came together and a guy who became the executive pastor, led the church for almost 18 months, until Dr. Chris Stephens, our senior pastor now, was hired to be their lead pastor. So they started with a really cool vision that they said, "Hey we want to impact the unchurched to the world for God, beginning in the counties around us," and they had identified about 200 thousand people that they said, "These are unreached people, unchurched people in this area." So they said, "We're going to look for a pastor who has that same heart and then we're going to roll out and be a different kind of church."
Rich – Interesting, that's cool.
Josh – Just a few months ago we celebrated 20 years of ministry at Faith Promise and it was really amazing to hear that people who are still here, I don't know, probably 125 people who still a part from that original core group.
Rich – Wow.
Josh – So they shared just some amazing stories about how they valued change and that's still a part of our DNA today that we change to be more effective and to reach people more effectively. So it's really been an incredible journey. We came to do young adults, the church shifted and the church really became a church for young adults about the same time.
Josh – I really figured out that I was going to lose my job because there was really nothing that I could do to compete with the weekend experience that we had. I started looking to leave and in that season our senior pastor came to me and says, "I want you to be the executive pastor." I had been an administrative pastor at a church and thought, "Man I never want to do that, now I really know I have to leave." So my wife and I start praying and just seeking what God would have and lo and behold we took the role here about ten and a half years ago and it's been absolutely amazing.
Since that time we've become a church of five locations, physical campuses. We average just a little over six thousand in physical attendance across those campuses and just have a real unique opportunity to do ministry in a culture in Knoxville that's a little bit behind. You know, we're not quite as progressive as other cities, we lag behind and keep kind of coming to those milestones, but we're a college town, the University of Tennessee is here.
Rich – GoVols.
Josh – Well I guess, that's not my team.
Rich – Oh oh.
Josh – But nonetheless, so we just have a unique opportunity to do ministry in an area that's the Bible Belt, we've been noted as a community where the Bible's really valued and you go out to lunch and you see people pray to bless their food. But the reality is that the largest majority of people in our community don't attend church on a regular basis.
Rich – Right. Yeah I'd love to hear a little bit more about that. I think one of the things I appreciate about Faith Promise, if you're not following Josh and the ministry at Faith Promise you really should, I think you guys are doing some really innovative, really cool things. I think sometimes there can be, particularly… and I'll just say it, I'm from the North East, people in other parts of the country they'll be like, "Come on, they're all Christians down there." Tell us a little bit about, you are so focused as a church on reaching unchurched people, what does that look like in the middle of the Bible Belt, how does that work itself out?
Josh – Well I think the key thing about Faith Promise that's unique is what I said earlier, it's that we are not nearly as progressive. When we came here 10 years ago, we have moved from the Dallas Fort Worth area, you know, 12 years ago. So the church was doing things like live drama and early on I'm like, "Why would you do that?"
Rich – It's like 1980's Willow Creek.
Josh – Yeah doesn't everyone know that went out?
Rich – Right.
Josh – But in our culture that's something that churches hadn't done.
Josh – So we really engaged in that opportunity as a ministry and it allowed us to see people come back to church.
Rich – Right very cool.
Josh – That's the thing here, I think many people, like you said, they have a church experience.
Josh – People in Knoxville and the surrounding areas have been to vacation Bible school with their grandmother, but a lot of those people have left the church, but even more so, most of the people who have really separated themselves from the church, their lives are broken. So even though they may not be coming to an initial place of faith and relationship with Christ, they've really never grown or walked in a relationship with Christ.
Rich – Interesting, yeah very true.
Josh – So I think that's the same in a lot of places around the country as well.
Rich – Yeah definitely.
Josh – But nonetheless, I think we have a larger majority of people in our culture that come from that perspective.
Rich – Yeah in some ways I could imagine, in that kind of context, people might actually, it's not that they're starting at zero, they might actually be starting at minus three because they have some church experience and because maybe it's very pervasive in the culture. In some ways we all know that that can actually, ultimately hinder people's understanding of Christ, it can become more of a cultural experience for sure.
Well that's cool, now tell us about your role there. You're the executive pastor, there's a lot of executive pastors that listen in to the unSeminary podcast, that's part of why I love having you on the show today. Tell us a little bit about your role, give us a sense for people who don't know, kind of how do you frame out what you do at Faith Promise?
Josh – Sure well our senior pastor would put it this way as he would rib me, he would say, "I do the supernatural and he does the natural," which is a joke. We have a great friendship and relationship, we just love each other and he would give me a hard time about that, but that's true. We have the unique culture where our senior pastor is really committed to having very unique messages for the weekends, writing, praying. He's taking a real burden that his job is to be the intercessor the ministry and the people of Faith Promise.
Rich – Very cool.
Josh – Actually he has delegated the authority of leading the church, from a day to day perspective, to me.
Josh – So my job really is the point person for everything that happens and I see the real role that I take on at Faith Promise is, I'm the implementer of the vision that God gives him as he seeks what God has for us. We do that collaboratively and collectively at moments, but really that's what most of us are looking as we're saying, "Okay he's the person who every day is spending hours interceding on behalf of our church," and he recognizes that that's a huge weight that he carries as well.
So for me, I oversee all of the staff hiring. I oversee all of the teams, the teams of our operations teams for multi-site campuses, for each of the direct reports from our leadership team and then some of the folks that are on our management team as well. But I'm just the point person in the ministry of Faith Promise Church.
Rich – Very cool. Now let's dig inside that relationship a lot. I'm sure you've learned a lot from being inside and there's some environments that could be a prickly relationship, I'm sure you've learned about what that looks like. How would you say, for people that are listening in, whether they're in that executive pastor role or if they're just in another role where they're supporting their leader, what are some of the lessons you've learned from supporting your senior pastor?
Josh – Well I think the biggest lesson that I've learned is that you have to have a relationship.
Josh – It's so important that everything works better if you like each other.
Josh – I started that way before I was the executive pastor. My senior pastor likes recreational, outdoor activities and my family had a farm in Louisiana. Early on before I was ever exec pastor, I just went to him and said, "Hey, would you like to go down and spend some time at my grandparents, they have a farm and hunting and things like that." So we took a trip down and just spent some time, eight hours in a car talking. In those seasons, I think what many of us don't realize is that there's an incredible opportunity to influence and to build a relationship. We just shared our hearts with each other and even looking back, that was the season that God began to do the work that I would be the executive pastor at Faith Promise.
Rich – Right, right.
Josh – At Faith Promise, I really, Rich I believe this, they would have never hired me at 28 years old, to be the executive pastor.
Josh – I became exec pastor when I was 29.
Josh – So they would have never hired me for that role but the reality of it is, because of the relationship that I was able to build intentionally with our senior pastor, he was able to trust me in a way that he never could have. So we developed that relationship really early on. It was an incredible opportunity for us to really trust each other before we had any insight into doing some type of executive pastor/senior pastor role together.
Rich – Right absolutely. I know, as I serve longer in ministry, I know for me that kind of chemistry test gets more and more important as I'm involved in hiring. There's a lot of times there is just a gut sense of, "Do I want to spend time with this person?" Because we're going to spend a lot of time together and in some ways competency you can teach and learn but the chemistry thing, you can't make that up for sure, that's got to be developed.
Anything else? What else have you learned through that process?
Josh – Well I think, there's several things related to that. That's where you start and I think with this relationship, the next that really happened here is that I figured out what my senior pastor valued. It was really a turning point because, you see my job is to implement the vision set for us, not to create the vision and I'm really comfortable with that.
Josh – Actually I tell him all the time, "Hey God's going to hold you accountable one day, you know man? So I hope you're getting it right." But here's the thing, I remember when I became exec pastor and as we were talking one day, I was surveying what was going on at Faith Promise and things that needed to change and decisions that needed to be made and one day I was sitting in our senior pastor's office and I looked at him and I said, "Hey, you value reaching people, you want to reach more people, you're an evangelist at heart Pastor Chris," and he stopped and he looked at me and he said, "Who told you that?" I said, "Well no one told me that, it's obvious right. We've had a friendship, we've done ministry together, it's obvious that that's what you value." He said, "No one else here realizes that I value that at the level that you realize that."
Josh – I recognized again a turning point, because he said, "Hey this guy knows what I value and he wants me to be successful."
Josh – I told him that, when I started out, "Hey as long as you never ask me to do something immoral, unethical, whatever right, it's the vision that God's giving, I'm going to push back but I'm going to support you man, I want to see God do a work that you feel like he's called you to do." I felt like I could support him. We don't agree on everything.
Josh – We don't even always value the same things, but I can support the work of God, the expression of God in his life. So I really did man, I was like, "Okay I know what you value, therefore I know how to do my job at Faith Promise.
Josh – So it gave me such credibility that in that season there were all of these things that needed to change and I laid them out. I said, "These are the things that need to change," and he argued with me." So it wasn't like this beautiful, everything's perfect, "Yeah let's just do everything you say."
Rich – Yeah, so amazing. Right.
Josh – But what happened was I just said, "Hey, you value reaching people. These are the things we have to do to reach people. When you decide it's time to do some of those, I'm good, just let me know, it's no problem, until then I think it's going to be really hard for us to move forward." He received that because I was saying, "This is what you value," not "Hey this is what I value as an exec pastor. Let me tell you what we need to do," I was saying, "This is what you value as the leader of the church and here's the things I think we need to do to accomplish that vision and I'm willing to wait until you're ready to accomplish those things."
Rich – Yeah I love that. I think the reality of it is, for whatever reason, God has chosen whatever. Throughout scripture we see God wants to get something done and it's like he looks around and says, "Okay who can I work with to make this happen?" and the reality of it is, senior leaders in our organization, they're the people that God has chosen. This season it's a stewardship, it's not forever, but for this season God's choosing to use them and I think what you're saying there, I think is really valid. It's a good heart check for us, particularly in those second seats, to say, "Listen our job is to support what we believe God is calling that person to do, what is the mission that's running out through their lives?"
With my own senior pastor, multiple times I said, my lead guy, I've said, "Tim listen, this church literally started in your living room, it runs through your living room. No one else has that story." As passionate as I am about this church, as passionate as I am about seeing great things happen, my job is to support what it is that God's calling him to work out, for sure.
So anything else as you think through? I know one of the things I find, as I wrestle through with my senior leader, is trying to be helpful to them and really look around the corner, peak around the corner a little bit, think about what's coming up in the future. Have you found yourself in a similar role there at Faith Promise?
Josh – No question about it. I think these things almost build on each other right?
Rich –Yeah.
Josh – You have this relationship, you understand what that person values, then really in the next step, you're working to be ahead of that person.
Josh – I'm looking down the road. One of the things that Chris Stephens values about our relationship and I think this is any leader, this is an exec pastor/senior pastor, this is any church leader, whether you're an assistant, a ministry assistant or something like that, leaders want you to be ahead of where they are. They want you to be looking down the road and then elevating these valuable ideas to solve these unrealized problems.
Rich – Back up, back up, that was a great little pithy phrase you said there, back up, one more time, say that one more time.
Josh – I said they're looking for us to elevate valuable ideas to solve unrealized problems.
Rich – That's so true.
Josh – I say this, visionaries see things that are 75% done as done and the challenge of that is that that last 25% is really the hardest work.
Rich – Yes.
Josh – If you've built a facility, anybody on the podcast, and probably even in setup and teardown environments, I've been in those as well, the last 25%, it's the hardest part.
Josh – So for most of us, many times [Inaudible 00:16:35] they're not looking ahead, they're thinking, "Well I've got to wait for that person to tell me what to do, my leader to give me direction," and my perspective's the exact opposite. I'm saying, "Hey I think these are the next barriers. I think these are the next challenges that we're going to face and I think here's some ways that we can work together to solve those but let's bring that to our team. Which one of those do you think are important?"
Through that, what I think you gain as well Rich, is you gain the support that you show your leader, "Hey I support you and I really want to push forward what God is doing."
Rich – So how do you do that, because I think you've hit on a very good tension here? I think a part of our role in supporting is kind of helping them see what they don't see, but how do you do that and not be the naysayer, not be the negative or the person that's always like, "Well, I know you want to do this crazy thing but we don't have the money and the budget for that and the kids' ministry people will kill us and…" How do you do that, how's that worked out?
Josh – Well I think the way that it's worked out best in our context is to really make it collaborative. One of the things that we've tried to do, although it becomes a greater challenge as the church gets larger, is to have people in the room who can make decisions.
Josh – Our senior pastor, what I love about him is that he doesn't just say always, "God said we're going to do this," and then that's what we do, he brings it to me and says, "Hey pray and process about this," and then we bring it to our team and we talk as well. Sometimes things elevate up, it's not always just top down, sometimes things elevate up, "Hey I think we should do this."
Josh – Here's the thing, our senior pastor, our senior leader, he respects when those things are elevated up, so we respect when things are pushed down. Now listen to this story, this is a crazy one. Several years ago we were in this season where capital campaigns did not work for us, okay? We couldn't figure it out. Like we tried and tried and it wouldn't work. So one day, our senior pastor is journaler man, he writes, you know his time with the Lord he just journals and journals. One day he flips his journal out on his table in his office and he says, "Hey God told me that we need to work to raise a $1 million in one weekend." "Excuse me?" I'm like, "Are you sure that God…" and he flips out his journal and goes, "Read right there, I just sense that that's what God said," and he said, "I don't know how we're going to do it," and I said, "Well let's build a four week series, let's prepare the church and let's take an offering in the last weekend."
Josh – Lo and behold we took $1 million in an offering and we've done that for four years since.
Rich – Praise God, that's incredible.
Josh – So again, sometimes those things come from the top but he said, "This is what I want to do, I don't know how we're going to do this."
Josh – So our team comes together and we say, "Hey we collectively believe this is what God's saying and it's…" You know, exec pastors, even staff members were scared to death when senior pastors say things like that, you know like, "Oh my goodness, what's going to happen to God's work and people's lives if God doesn't bring that $1 million? What if we missed it?" We really struggle with that faith balance often.
Josh – But you know, those are the type of things where sometimes he'll just come in and say, "I really believe God said this."
Josh – But then other times we elevate things up, or we put all of it together with our team collaboratively.
Rich – Very true, I've had those similar experiences where I think there is a symbiotic relationship with our senior leaders where, and most of the time our hope, I think for growing churches, churches that are thriving like yours, the senior leader is very good at delegating, is very good at being open handed, but there are those moments when the senior pastor will say, "No actually I think this is what we should do, this is what God's calling us to do." I think particularly for us in those second seats, our job is to remind our people of that.
Josh – Yeah.
Rich – Hey there's a lot of times when we're being really collaborative and at the end of the day, the way I've articulated that is I'll be like, I'll say to my guys, "At the end of the day Tim's the only guy that's going to have to stand up on stage and say this. None of us are going to end up doing that."
Josh – That's right.
Rich – So our job it so support that, not blindly but to support it when there's that conviction level there.
Josh – That's exactly right and I think that's so significant. I just feel like there's this give and take. Pastor Chris, my senior leader, he hasn't hired a person in eight years, he doesn't interview people. The things that he allows the staff to do are amazing.
Josh – So when he says, "Hey I think God is saying something here," it speaks volumes because when a person can delegate and empower in those types of activities where they say, "Hey hire the team and build the greatest team," our senior pastor will say this, it's an interesting statement, he's started saying, and sometimes he backs off of it because he feels like people don't understand it but he said, "I believe God's called me to build the greatest church since the day of Pentecost."
Josh – So when he tells me to staff the church it's like, "Hey build the greatest staff since the day of Pentecost."
Josh – "I'm not even going to be a part of it. You go and build it." He doesn't work to set budgets, he has the smallest budget at a church, he doesn't work in that process, he says, "Hey build budgets." He empowers the team to do those things. So when he steps in and says, "I think God's doing something here," everyone listens.
Josh – One of the challenges, if you give me a chance I'm going to say something and I'm going to be a little bit offensive to senior pastors.
Rich – Good, love it.
Josh – I've shared this with my senior pastor, when he said, "I want you to be exec pastor," and I said, "No, no, I don't think so," and he said, "Why?" and I said, "If I told you why you might fire me, but you'd definitely be offended," and he said, "I won't be offended, we're friends, we have a relationship, tell me why." I said, "Most of the senior pastors that I've been around, they're too insecure to let other people lead. So I want to be a senior pastor, that's what I came here for, I came here to grow to be a senior pastor, so that I can be a leader in the church," and he said, "Well I'm not that way," I said, "That's what all senior pastors say," and he said, "You know what, if you take this role I'll prove it to you."
We worked through a process where he literally proved that before I took the role and some of that was baggage for me but some of that's reality Rich. Most churches have one position, every church, 400 thousand churches, they have one position, that's the same in every church; senior pastor. Most churches are struggling to reach people because of senior pastors.
Josh – Because they need to empower other people, not staff people, volunteers and developing those people. So man, if you're a leader, if you want to see God do work you have to empower the people. Think about in the New Testament, Paul. What did he do? He empowered leaders, St. Titus, St. Timothy. He couldn't go so he just kept sending these guys out to accomplish this work in ministry.
Rich – Very cool. Well this has been fantastic. Is there anything else about working in the senior pastor/executive pastor, in that relationship supporting your pastor that you'd like to say before we jump into the lightning round?
Josh – the last thing I would say is this. Every staff member should remember that there is a season where you're a learner, where your senior leader is developing you and then I personally believe that there comes a season where that transitions to where you're both helping each other grow.
When I started at 29, Pastor Chris, he's 15 years older than me.
Josh – I didn't have a time to offer in that season candidly. He had spiritually been walking with Christ 15 years longer than I had and he had been in ministry 15 years longer than I had, I mean, just on and on but because he spent time developing me, spiritually as a leader, I find now, today that that actually is an iron sharpens iron relationships.
Josh – Earlier on it wasn't that. Earlier on he was pouring into me and I was receiving and now I get the opportunity, even though he's my supervisor, I get the opportunity to develop him, to challenge him to grow sometimes, to say, "Hey I think God's doing this," and he's like, "Man you have faith, what's going on?" But I think for all of us, he has been a pusher of growth plans. Our senior pastor, every year he creates us a personal spiritual growth plan, that's huge for him, "What do I think God wants me to do next year?" He's pushed that into our entire team and now it bubbles back up to other people.
So I see that happening with our CFO, one of the people that I work so closely with that leads our operations team. He's now challenging me to grow in areas and I'm challenging him. In the beginning, I was really pouring into him, he didn't have ministry experience, he didn't have church experience of our church and context, but now he is pushing and developing me as well. I think that's a dual relationship that we forget about sometimes, that God does in relationships.

Anatomy of a Murder (1959)
Published July 12, 2008	Films Leave a Comment
jazzed lawyers
As far as i can tell, this film may have established the courtroom 'genre'. Not that it was the first film to feature a trial and the courtroom, of course, but it was one of the first ones to make the narrative dynamics develop around the story the lawyers can create out of invented or manipulated facts. The funny things to observe in this kind of court depictions, and cat and mice game between defenders and prosecutors is how words, and the interpretation one makes of words, and how words are thrown (this includes expressions, body and facial ones) can completely change the reality of things. The film is, as the title suggests, the dissection of an event we never get to see, occurred in sets with which we are not so much in touch with. So we have to visualize, and we do that through words and the opinion we form of the characters (witnesses) we are allowed to see so in a way we are at the same level of the jury. What's strong about this film, and why it worked well to me, is that, even though we spend the film following Stewart and the defense, we're never led to believe that we should believe Gazzara's character or story. There are a lot of subtleties, questions left open. Ultimately, the two theories exposed in court made sense, but we really don't know which one (if any of them) is true:-were the facial bruises of the wife made by the murdered or the murderer? -were the panties really where found, or were they planted? -did the wife ever betray the husband?… I enjoyed this ambiguity.
Sex was present throughout. I am young, and this is a good way to see how certain things were regarded than: sex and religion. The fuss over the use of the word 'panties' in the courtroom, of course, but also how the prosecutor tries to dismiss the wife by alleging her disregard towards her religion. How that could blow a case in the minds of the jury (and i suppose, the audience 50 years ago). We had two kind of screen female characters depicted: the flashy overtly sexy Lee Remick (whose character would go to a bar with bare naked legs!) and the introspective, closed and mysterious Kathryn Grant. As a screen character i am more interested in the second, as i saw the film i made the mental exercise of switching their parts, or at least, make Remick look more like Grant. I recommend you do that.
On purely visual/cinematic concerns, there are two things to point out here, pretty competent and which made the experience worthwhile, to me: one is how the camera moves: it inherited most of what Hitchcock had been making in previous years; including the beautiful 'Rope' and 'Rear window', both featuring Stewart; this means we have a seeking camera, a curious camera which in this case is worried more with characters than with space, even though space usually unfolds as a consequence of what characters do. This is pretty competent, and had been done with a very high level 2 years before, with Lumet's '12 angry men'. I think here we have a mid term between Hitchcock and Lumet's attitude. It's less consequent, not original, but still a pretty competent camera work. The other thing is jazz. Ellington, who even does a cameo playing with his band. Stewart's characters plays the piano also, and the virtuous beat of the Duke really does it. It's a cinematic glue, something that carries the films, as much as the inflated performance by Stewart or our inner questions regarding the veracity of the case we're being exposed.

A heatwave could be on its way to Kent as weather experts predict temperatures will soar into the 20s.
It follows a scorching Bank Holiday weekend, just over a week ago, where some areas experienced highs of mid-20s.
Although temperatures returned to cooler conditions, thousands of people this weekend could be having their Royal Wedding street parties or garden celebrations in glorious conditions.
From today (May 17) onwards, it will be continuing to get hotter for at least the next week ahead.
With temperatures hovering around the 15 to 16 degrees mark and sun expected all day, it should be a pleasant environment to toast the happy couple.
According to the Met Office, temperatures will continue to rise over the weekend and Monday will see temperatures of 20 degrees and above across Kent.
West Kent is expected to have some of the higher temperatures with Tonbridge forecast to reach 21 degrees on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Here is a rundown of how hot it will be getting this in Kent in the coming days.

After nine years, offshore drilling begins in Karachi ultra-deep waters
ExxonMobil is drilling some 280km away from coast to find huge oil and gas deposits

KARACHI: Pakistan, after a gap of nine years, begins offshore drilling to find estimated huge oil and gas deposits in ultra-deep waters at an estimated cost of over $100 million.
"The drilling is scheduled to commence tonight (Friday)," an official at the ministry of petroleum told The Express Tribune on Friday.
The US firm ExxonMobil, one of the world's largest oil and gas firms, in collaboration with Italian firm Eni Pakistan Limited, is drilling in ultra-deep waters some 280 kilometres away from Karachi coast.
"Eni Pakistan has estimated nine trillion cubic feet gas deposits," the official said, adding "ExxonMobil expects oil deposits there."
They are drilling Kekra-1 well in Indus-G block, which is located some 280 kilometres away from the Karachi coast.
Gas reserves: Vessels arrive for offshore drilling in Pakistan
They would drill around 5,800 meters deep from the sea level and are targeting to complete the spud in the next 60 days.
For this purpose, ExxonMobil has brought one major drilling ship, three supply vessels and two helicopters on the site.
Eni Pakistan is the operator of the block, while, Exploration and Production Pakistan BV (EEPP) is drilling the well. Besides, Pakistan state-owned Oil and Gas Development Company (OGDC) and Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) are part of the joint venture. Each of the four firms have a 25% participating interest in the block.
The well is being drilled almost after a gap of nine years, as the last exploratory well in offshore area was drilled in January 2010. This is the 18th attempt to find hydrocarbons from deep waters in Pakistan.
"Earlier, Pakistan has drilled 17 times in deep sea. The wells were either found dry or not commercially viable to be operated," the official said.
Some of the surveyors find the block 'Indus-G' similar to Indian offshore Bombay High oilfields, which produces 350,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil, while some define it like wells producing hydrocarbons in the oil and gas rich country, Kuwait in the Gulf.
Exxon Mobil Corporation, through ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Pakistan BV (EEPP), had acquired 25% participating interest in May 2018 in Offshore Indus-G Block.
Pakistan meets around 15-20% of its energy needs through local oil and gas exploration and production, while the rest is met through expensive imports.
The oil and gas imports cost Pakistan around one-fourth of the total import bills per year. The country has emerged as one of the largest gas (liquefied natural gas) importers in the last couple of years at the world level.

The Barn, at Udaipur, by Priyanka Arjun and Associates - ArchitectureLive!
Traditional Stone with Lime mortar construction- Buildings made of stone and lime gain strength over years and can stand for centuries. Hence conventional methods of preparing lime mortar with local ingredients were employed. Local karigars (craftsmen) worked on the project.
Barn Style Architecture- Barn building style is merged with traditional Rajasthani architecture to suit hot and dry climate. This style is chosen as the client is British national.
Passive cooling measures- Stone and lime buildings are 10-15 degrees cooler than outside. Windows are small and shaded. Jali/Screens filters and cools breeze in corridors by Venturi Effect. Open shaded Courtyard provides sheltered outdoor space for farmers to gather.
Mango Tree Transplantation-Mango tree is transplanted from another Green Building site and becomes focal point in landscape.
Use of Local material-Stone is used in building, flooring, tiling, coping etc. Lime mortar was prepared on site. Salvaged wood is used in railing. Most of work is done by local labour to retain character of materials used.
Lime mortar is kept one inch in from stone surface. Red mud is then filled in joints. Over time green Moss will develop on it and will enhance the charm of elevation.
Protection and enhancement of the surrounding environment – The building merges in natural surroundings and has no negative impact.
Water drainage system- is made from building to green-houses. Rainwater flows through drains around green-houses into lowest point in site, where it percolates in ground. For seasonal river streams a gate is provided to alter course of water.
