As always, we had a great sanctuary together. I wanted to point out two things that really stuck out to me.
1. Emily shared this amazing analogy that I know that I am going to butcher as I try to put it down in written form. She said that she had always felt [...]

Sanctuary Tonight
Bsidemix.com
So I bought the domain “bsidemix.com” hoping to be able to customize my blog and give it a really cool feel and look… but man this is tough.
I designed the website in iweb… but iweb and blogger dont really get along. I really would like to make my blog look and feel like I [...]
Recommended Reading
This is a book I picked up in Orlando that I am about halfway through. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who is looking at how a movement of faith (missionally based) can look like.
I especially have appreciated the chapter on discipleship.

AE Love… MG PROMO 1
I had a spare hour or so, and wanted to practice some AE stuff. Here is a promo for missiongathering.com.
Let me know what you think.
Adobe After Effects
I know Im probably behind the curve… but I started using After Effects yesterday to put together a promo / intro video for our upcoming “Heroes” series. I am really excited about what this program can do, and what it will bring to the table at Mission.
Any experienced AE users out there? [...]
Exponential Conference #7: The Journey Home
I hate Southwest Airlines. “Hate” may be a strong word, but our last flight from Orlando to Las Vegas was torture. It wasn’t just the fact that I was stuck on the end row where people constantly bumped into me on their way to the restroom. It wasn’t just the larger lady [...]
Exponential Conference #6: Need a Little Blog Love

Exponential Conference #5: Divine Appointment?
As we were watching the reenactment of Jesus’ crucifiction, I noticed a guy who had some awesome hair, chucks and some rolled cuffs and looked like he didnt belong (much like I didn’t). I saw Rich talking to him, so I headed over, and it turns out, it was Dan Kimball. How random [...]
Exponential #4: The Holy Land Experience
So today after the conference we got a chance to head over to TBN’s “The Holy Land Experience.” Here is a brief explanation brought to us by our friends at “Firth in the USA.”:
Here is how I would describe it:
Exponential Conference #3
Alan Hirsch brought the noise. I just got out of a main session where Alan Hirsch was sharing about what it truly means to be exponential. Man, it was good stuff. I am so thankful that someone is having the strength and the passion to stand up and say that we need [...]
Exponential Conference #1
We are off to the first preliminary session at the conference we are attending. If you’d like to check out what it is, go to www.exponentialconference.com. I am signed up for the “Creative Communication in New Churches” pre-track. I didn’t know until now that Mark Batterson is leading my pre-conference track. [...]
Safley in the South
We arrived safely in Orlando tonight. With a quick layover in Nash Vegas (Nashville) we had really smooth travels. On the way to the hotel tonight, we drove through what I am going to call the “Realm of Disney.” Pretty amazing, and I really hope we get a chance to spend a [...]
MG Baptisms
This Sunday was absolutely amazing.
I am sitting here in the San Diego International Airport, waiting to board our flight to Orlando and can’t stop thinking about just how amazing this morning truly was.
I saw people who hadn’t planned on being baptised stand up out of their seats and move toward the baptismal wanting to free [...]
Azariah Southworth
Laura turned me onto this interesting story. Thank you Azariah for being real with yourself despite the potential loss of your career. I truly believe that “lines” are being drawn in the sand, and the momentum is growing to finally (and truthfully) start asking honest questions about spirituality and sexuality.
Check out the [...]
