We were rocking pretty hard in Atlanta this past week. I haven’t said a word about conference and I am so sorry about that. My buddy Rhett and our dude Tim went head first last week into the leadership conference for young church leaders called Catalyst. It was amazing. We spent time in worship with Steve Fee and other Northpoint Community Church worship leaders. Some of the speakers that were there included Andy Stanley, Patrick Lencioni (who was awful!), Shane Claiborne, Francis Chan, Sunday Adelaja, and Rick Warren. What an amazing time to spend in the word with some great men that Jesus is using in big ways. We also got to hear an “emerging” conversation between Chris Seay, David Kinnaman, Gabe Lyons, and Tri Robinson, as they discussed the new book “UnChristian.”
The first half of the first day had some amazing theatrics that played well with the crowd. Things were light the first day excluding the speakers but the second day was an overload of information! Erwin McManus, Craig Groeschel, Dave Ramsey, John Maxwell and more Andy Stanley had my rain doing circles. I loved every minute.
