Some highlights and one lowlight…
From the Exponential Conference in Orlando…
Some highlights…
-a strong teaching from Andy Stanley during a main session about making vision stick. (and immediately afterwards, a Q & A with Stanley…just 20 or so of us in the room)
-connecting with some people I only see once a year
-hearing Ron Kastens phone go off and play “Rocky Top” during the Stadia Banquet (he’s a former Tennesseean, now in the Northeast)
-shooting 3 under at the Turkeynator (disc golf)
-And in my opinion, as well as other’s I’ve heard, the teaching that Alan Hirsch shared in the main session this morning. It’s fascinating to hear people who have not heard of Hirsch before respond to his thinking, specifically the concept that our ‘Christology (our belief and understanding of Jesus) must determine our Missiology (what we believe our mission is) which much determine our Ecclessiology (how we do church). Those around Crossings have heard this for a year or so…it’s foundational to why we do what we do.
Lowlight…
-Lost my Gumbputter to the alligators in the swamp part of the Turkeynator (pray for my loss)

Nothing like Victor Ashe and certainly nothing like Warrior's Path, but decent.-
