PD Community Gathering Day 2

May 21, 2008 in GOD, Leadership, The Connection Church with 3 Comments

The Purpose Driven Community Gathering actually started today.  It was basically 10 hours of straight incredible content.  Here’s the days highlights:

  • I got to meet and chat with Kerry Shook
  • I got to meet and chat with Carlos Whitaker after hunting him down like the wild animal that he is.
  • I saw Bobby Gruenewald again and chatted with him.  I really admire this guy.
  • I got to meet Rick McKinley.
  • I met Mark Beeson.
  • Wow, I sound like the conference stalker.  :)
  • Listened to Rick Warren (pastor of the “mother ship”)  speak about being renewed.  Can’t wait to hear him again tomorrow.  God always uses Rick to jack me up!  Read more here,
  • Twitter kept breaking which kept me from sharing as many pics today…
  • Talked with Ron Sylvia some today too.  When I walked up he said “HEY!  CADILLACZAK!”  It made me smile.  :)
  • Carlos, Tony, and DJ Chuang shot a ton of interviews on Ustream today. Go anytime and watch some of these.  Amazing stuff! I love the stories!
  • Learned about Hashtags today thanks to DJ Chuang.  Pretty cool it you are a twitter freak!
  • We had dinner with John Blue.  I love this guy!  He used to play in the NHL and now he’s a church planter right here in the orange county area.  We coached John when he was still living in Austin.
  • Oh my gosh…the snoring just started again…SIIIIGGGGHHHH…Cole sounds like a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant.  It is LOUD.
  • Every 4 minutes last night a train came by (literally 12 feet from our window) and shook my bed.  Between trains and snoring, I didn’t sleep much.
  • Feel like I have been drinking from the fire hydrant all day long!  I could literally blog thousands diget=

PD Gathering Day One

May 20, 2008 in GOD, Leadership, travel with 1 Comment

Some highlights from day one. Be sure to check out the pics below:

  • Left the house early and hit the new toll road…but not early enough. We had to cut in the security line at the airport to make our flight. Luckily, everyone in line understood.
  • When we arrived in Orange County we drove up to LA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and then Venice Beach. It was a blast checking it all out with Cole.
  • While on Hollywood Blvd, we shot a video for church…nothing super special, but cool because its on location. Oh, and we did it all on a terrible little camera. Hopefully the footage is good enough…
  • Went to “High Voltage Tattoo” (LA INK, Kat Von D’s place) and checked it out. I was going to get the Connection Church blocks tattooed on my arm, but Kat Von D is pretty proud of her work…about $600 proud. SHEESH.
  • SUPER PUMPED about the conference starting tomorrow. Look at this list of speakers. WOWWWWW!!! I am HONORED that I get to be a part of this event! Only 1,500 people worldwide are invited to this event. Thank you Jesus!
  • I tweeted so much today that my iPhone ran out of battery power. :)
  • Cole just started snoring. Crud.

Creative Chaos

April 24, 2008 in Creativity with 7 Comments

This week’s Creative Chaos over at Ragamuffin Soul DOT com

What is Creative Chaos? Click here…

We moved this past sunday from a nasty school cafeteria to a multi-million dollar Performing Arts Center in our area. The good thing is, for the first time ever, we have an actual stage to create on.

The bad thing? We are still a portable church and doing set designs as portable is TOUGH. We basically get 1 hour to set up whatever it is we want on stage. After our services, we have less than an hour to tear it all down and put it in a trailer…

THIS is my BIGGEST challenge week to week. How do we build sets that are portable and light weight, that look nice, yet are sturdy enough to withstand being shoved into a trailer and abused each week?

I’d love to hear from other portable churches who are doing some sweet set designs…

HELLLPPP!! Here are some pics from our first larger scale portable set design…
