Back home after 2 weeks of conferences

Well, I'm back home after being on the road for the past couple of weeks. Updating soon.

Alright, the main session with Craig Groeschel was so incredible that I'm jumping my scheduled track in order to hear him again. Stay tuned.

Exponential Conference - Day 3

Listening to Marc Choi [in2 church, nyc] speak on the art of movement.

His challenge - powerful church movements are grounded in the basics:

• daily prayer and devotion to God's Word
• one-to-one discipleship and spiritual formation
• weekly small group community
• gathering together for worship

I have to admit, I'm challenged by this in our church - it's not that we don't do these things, but I'm not sure that we do them effectively. But it's never too late to start....

Listening to Erwin McManus talk about the art of movement... fantastic.

Just wrapping up my first day at the Exponential Conference here in Orlando!

I gotta tell you, I'm absolutely loving the weather (sunny, mid-70's) but even more importantly, I'm inspired and excited by some of the new ideas being shared here.

Today I got a chance to hear Mark Batterson speak on Creative Communication (if you haven't heard of Mark, grab a copy of "In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day. Very cool stuff.) and walked away with some excellent ideas and strategies that I can't wait to share with our ministry teams.
