I spent Friday and Saturday up in Phoenix watching one of the guys I workout with compete in a Crossfit competition.
Crossfit gets insane when you watch people who are ridiculously strong and good at Crossfit.
Blown away at what some people can do.
Got to spend the last 2 days in Orange County with the other area leads from Acts 29 West.
Love being with them, praying together, strategizing and thinking ahead about how to best plant churches in the western US.
Also love hearing what God is doing in places like Alaska and other states.
If you are a pastor, you need to make sure you are friends with other pastors.
It helps.
All of that though has led to me dragging my way through the day.
Excited to spend a few nights in a row in my own bed!
Been enjoying doing a fantasy league with my boys.
I let them fill out teams this year.
Their passion for football is a little ridiculous, but awesome at the same time.
Tomorrow I start a coaching cohort with 12 pastors in Acts 29 West leading smaller churches.
I’m excited to help them take the next step.
Speaking of leaders, I’ve gotten a few emails about what we do to develop leaders at Revolution.
I’m working on a blog post.
We had our early morning leadership group today and had an awesome discussion.
Love the different points of view and learning how to engage each other.
Conversation and leadership goes hand in hand, but is really difficult if you are a leader, because you think you’re always right.
I have my pastors covenant group today.
Each month, I meet with 4 older pastors to pray together and support and encourage each other.
For me, it is incredibly helpful.
I’m grateful for the investment older leaders have made in me.
We’re trying an experiment this Sunday at Revolution: Because we have 2 services, we are having 2 different speakers preach on the same passage and topic. Each taking a service.
No idea if it will work, but if it does, it’s a great way to get more communicators chances to preach.
