I’ve blogged about this before, but the time-sensitive huge discount for Q runs out Dec. 31st!!!! You have 1 week to act on this opportunity. You can register later, but it will cost over $150 more. 

I’ll be hosting a Church 2.0 Tribe this year at Q. Q was held in New York last year and I couldn’t make it - I really wanted to . This April 27-29 it will be in Austin, TX. I and many other friends will be there. I’d love for you to join us. 

Q is a unique conference for leaders that “get it” and are interested in highly relevant and missional things. Q does cost more than a lot of conferences, but if you register with my coupon code (Church20) - you can register for $525 until 12/31.

More about Q: Q is a gathering where church leaders and cultural influencers from the fields of business, politics, media, education, entertainment and the arts are exposed to the future of culture and the church’s responsibility to advance the common good in society.

Q TALKS are 18 minute presentations given annually at the Q gathering by thought leaders and practitioners on the topics of the future, the church, the culture and the gospel. Be inspired by their big ideas and find ways to discuss and process them with your closest friends and inner circle (the Church 2.0 tribe).

I hope to see some of you in the wonderful city of Austin!

he TX Large Church Forum is scheduled for next Tuesday and Wednesday

I wish you all a blessed, fun, and joy-filled Thanksgiving.

Our Testimony

I can’t help but cry every time I watch this video. I watch it again and again. Yes, I love the song (”Everything” by Lifehouse), but to see what Christ did for ME acted out is amazing. Watch it until the very end. It’s worth it… especially if you know the song. WOW - Did I mention I cried? Thank you Jesus for redeeming this life from destruction (Psalm 103).

David Crowder’s Guitar Hero Guitar

David Crowder Band rocked Dallas last week at our new House of Blues. Here he is playing the guitar from “Guitar Hero” for one of his songs. Gotta love it!

Catalyst Conference - Erwin McManus

I like what he says about “relevance”. The Church should create the future of the culture. Good stuff!

Jesus Paid It All - Kristian Stanfill

We did this song at my church this Sunday. I love when people arrange old hymns.

This past weekend we hosted our top candidate for the Audio Coordinator position at my church. He ran Front of House for rehearsal and all day Sunday. The weekend went great and we received a ton of comments on how much improved the sound was. His name is Tom and he also has a great heart and is going to be a welcomed addition to our staff. Yeah God!

I hope everyone has a great holiday. I’m chilling with my kids. Until tomorrow…
