Thousands of people left Summit Church within a year. A big part of the Christian community in Orlando was left to figure out how to move forward. Difficult questions needed real answers. Their Pastor was gone. In the end, was anything that Isaac used to teach even real or worth following anymore? What does trust look like for those who are trying to honestly face real life?

After finding out that Isaac Hunter resigned, people all over the city of Orlando were left with tons of questions. What happened? What went wrong?
The idea of a calling from God can be really challenging to face. As the days turned into weeks where Isaac's behavior became more strange, it led to deeper questions. Was Isaac ever really called to be the Pastor of Summit Church? If he was, what does that mean for all of us?

Ten years ago, our hometown of Orlando, FL was a bedrock of contagious Christianity. Young people all over the city were experiencing God with a love that felt like it could spill out and bless the whole world. Churches were growing, and one church in particular had a vision not unlike that of Walt Disney himself. The call of God inspired the founders of Summit Church to see an entire city transformed, and they had the momentum and the power of God moving among them in a way where nothing seemed impossible...
Today, however, Orlando has become almost a Christian ghost town among local Millennials, a city of Lost Magic. Join us as we explore the most obvious question, "What happened here?"

Do you know what that film is? There's even a ride in the Magic Kingdom based on the film. This episode is an exploration of the things we hide. Companies hide, institutions hide, churches and pastors hide, and even we hide. What is the impact of hiding?

When Walt Disney showed up on the scene, Orlando, FL was changed forever. He had a vision of building the perfect city, but how does it fall short of The Kingdom that Jesus came to build?
Today, tens of millions of people come to our hometown looking for the happiest place on earth, but for the locals, life in the Magic Kingdom is surprisingly lonely and disenchanted.
We pick our story back up in Frontierland, to explore the makings of a Magic Kingdom.
