First of all, if you haven’t watched this yet then go do it.
Charlie and I attended the Unleash conference at Newspring yesterday. I’m sure there will be links soon to view the main sessions. Perry Noble is bringing bluntness back to preaching. I greatly admire Newspring’s ministry because of the impact it’s had on people I know. So many of my high school friends are genuinely excited about their faith because of God’s work in them through Newspring. I saw several of them yesterday as volunteers. I also have some friends on staff. I know there are a lot of Newspring haters out there, but this church is the real deal. I was working in Central when God exploded on them. I was skeptical at first, but the proof of God’s spirit and vision are there. Yesterday rocked my face off. I only wish now I had told Charlie I couldn’t preach on the 22nd because as soon as I agreed, God started laying a message on my heart that will be difficult to preach. Hopefully, it will rock Denton Wesleyan’s world. It may be titled,”Do you make God nauseous?” I attended Tony Morgan’s, my blogging hero, seminar on multi-site ministry. He was very humble in the fact that they didn’t have all the answers to what God had been doing. He basically laid out what they were doing and said-this may or may not work for you. I only regret not speaking to him and even getting a picture. How many bloggers has he influenced? I also picked up his new book, KIlling Cockroaches. I gotta finish the two I’m currently working on first. I wanted Charlie to be able to put a face to the place and people that I’m always raving about. Even more encouraging is the fact that we already own almost as much land as Newspring. Now we just need God to fill it with people. My bro, Tim Kirkpatrick, txted me yesterday and asked,”How can I pray for you?” I told him to pray that God would make me uncormfortable. I’m tired of praying safe prayers. Safe prayers lead to complacency. Complacency leads to apathy. Apathy leads to disobedience. Disobedience leads to death. It is good to be home with the family. The Revolution will not be televised, but March Madness will.
