>>WoW!!! Today was very awesome. We heard from great pastors and business leaders today. Listening to the values of discipline from Jim Collins and the encouragement from Steve Furtick. Simply amazing. And to top it all off, I got to hear Jon Foreman live, including hearing him sing my favorite song from his solo project. Today was like Christmas to my ears and I feel like I’m going to leave with a lot of good ideas and encouragement. Of course we all will throw/bypass the things that don’t apply; but ultimately God is moving in the world as a whole and you can see that. I’m not (or at least I like to think I’m not) that God is just with some certain sect. But God is reconciling the entire world to himself and it is beautiful. It’s a Catalyst.
Here is a great clip from last year’s conference. Enjoi.
