• Had a pretty full weekend.
• 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.
• Well, back at it…
