Wednesday Afternoon Mind Dump…

  • It’s been a long time since I had an emotional roller coaster ride of a weekend like the one I just had.
  • I spent all weekend in the hospital with my dad because they discovered blood clots in his leg and lungs and they planned to do surgery yesterday, but then decided to go the treatment route and discharge him.
  • Definitely not how I expected my weekend to unfold.
  • Thankful that we had a video sermon already planned at Revolution.
  • I love that our church got to engage in the Ask It series from Andy Stanley.
  • It is helpful and uncomfortable all at the same time, which is a great sermon series.
  • So excited to kick off our brand new series Difference Maker on the book of Nehemiah this Sunday.
  • Nehemiah is by far, one of my favorite books of the Bible.
  • It is weird in some ways working on a sermon after not preaching for 5 weeks, but I can’t wait.
  • Our church is also going back to 2 services on Sunday.
  • Got to read some great leadership books and novels on my break.
  • Trying out a new thing on my facebook page each week, just answering common questions I get on marriage, preaching, leadership, parenting, and health.
  • Click here to see the first one on how to do date night at home.
  • We had a meeting last night with all of our group leaders to share with them some of the new things we have planned for our groups to improve them.
  • I can’t wait to roll them out in January 2019.
  • I think our groups are about to become the best they’ve ever been.
  • Our big audacious goal is to go from 8 groups (what we had this past year) and launch 20 in January 2019.
  • Would love your prayers to that end.
  • Started reading The Practice of Adaptive Leadership last night and wish I would’ve read that book a decade ago.
  • I loved the other books by the authors but this one is a new level of greatness when it comes to a leadership book.
  • I have had a hard time fathoming that we will have a teenager in the house next week.
  • Here’s one thing I do each year for our kids.
  • We recently did a new planning process with our staff at Revolution Church, a total revamping to how we do yearly planning and quarterly goals.
  • I’ll share more about it next week, but I love it!
