Monday Mind Dump…

  • After 2 weeks of not preaching, it feels great to be working on a sermon again.
  • Joe and Erik did a great job of kicking off our new series More yesterday.
  • Because we have 2 services, I had each of them take a service and preach.
  • I think it went really well and it’s a great chance to have more communicators get practice in our church.
  • If you missed it, you can listen to it here.
  • It’s hard to believe it’s already October.
  • That makes me feel like an old person because that sounds like something old people say.
  • But really.
  • Last night’s Steelers game was incredible.
  • What made that even more special was that most of Katie’s family lives in Kansas City and I loved texting a few of them last night.
  • What a win!
  • I’ve been working ahead on a sermon series in 2017 on the topic of prayer and have been feeling really challenged by it.
  • I think it’s really going to stretch our church next year.
  • I know I’ve been stretched just working on it personally.
  • I’ve been reading Hearing God: Developing a Conversational Relationship with God by Dallas Willard and learning a lot. 
  • I started my Acts 29 West coaching cohort last week.
  • So good taking 12 guys who lead smaller churches through some leadership ideas.
  • I love that Acts 29 West is having multiple cohorts to help leaders and churches get better.
  • We looked at energy and time management last week.
  • I feel like Acts 29 is the healthiest it has ever been.
  • Our church has been in a transition without a regular worship leader.
  • It’s been amazing to see how God has sent worship leaders to our church in the last couple of months to start getting involved.
  • Always a great reminder that God has things under control.
  • While the last 2 years at Revolution have felt like God has been doing a lot of pruning and work on me and inside our church, we are moving into a season that feels a lot more healthy.
  • Our staff and elder team is working together better than ever before.
  • One of the books that has been the most helpful in this area is The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals.
  • Can’t recommend it enough.
  • Our elders are knocking it out of the park and God has been really gracious to our church in who has stepped up into those roles.
  • Well, back to it…
