Tuesday Mind Dump…

mind dump

  • What a whirlwind the last 2 weeks have been.
  • I got to be at the Rethink Leadership conference in Atlanta and then at the Acts 29 West Conference in Reno.
  • Still processing all that I learned.
  • I love the large family that Acts 29 West has become.
  • I got to teach in the 200-400 track at Acts 29 West.
  • I love helping leaders who want to learn and grow.
  • I got a ton out of the other 2 track leaders, Jim Applegate and Matt Kyser.
  • Sunday night, Katie and I celebrated our birthdays with a bunch of friends.
  • Our table was filled with people from our church and our crossfit box.
  • That pretty much makes up our relational circles right now.
  • Speaking of Sunday.
  • Mother’s day at Revolution was a great day as we continue our series New in the book of Romans.
  • We’re almost out of depressing parts of Romans.
  • I keep reminding our church, the amazing parts of Romans, being set free don’t make sense without understanding sin and God’s wrath.
  • Although, we like to skip that part.
  • Katie is going to Chicago this week to take pictures of our good friends who are adopting from the Congo and their girls are finally coming home.
  • It’s going to be such a sweet moment.
  • Say a prayer for them and me, as I get to single parent it!
  • I see a lot of video games and pizza in our future.
  • I got to host a podcast episode for I4JLive today and looking at pastoral burnout yesterday.
  • The conversation went in a direction I didn’t expect and it was incredibly helpful.
  • I got a lot out of it personally.
  • It should be out soon, so stay tuned.
  • I’m blown away that it is almost summer.
  • I’m definitely looking forward to a different pace at Revolution.
  • It’s coming at the right time.
  • Read 2 fantastic books on my plane rides over the last 2 weeks: Pitch Anything: An Innovative Method for Presenting, Persuading, and Winning the Deal and The Truth About Employee Engagement: A Fable About Addressing the Three Root Causes of Job Misery.
  • Both were excellent.
  • Well, time to get back to sermon prep…
