The Women that Make it ALL Happen

September 30, 2009 in Confessional, Family, Revolution Church with 2 Comments

Amber and CouperThere is no way I could be launching Revolution Church without my wife. She gives me strength, wisdom, encouragement, and support in ways I never thought were possible.

Rick Warren has Kay.

My mentor, Cole Phillips has Pam.

Steven Furtick has Holly.

Jud Wilhite has Lori.

And if those guys are anything like me, they’d admit that if they had never met their wives, they’d probably be in jail or dead. :)

Amber, I am so thankful to be on this ride of life and this incredible adventure of launching a new church with you!

Goofy video we showed to kick off our new Ultimate Fighter message series…if you know our Lead Pastor, Cole Phillips, then its even better. Thanks to the pride and joy of TCC, Steve Etheridge for writing the script!

Sunday Mind Dump

April 5, 2009 in Mi Vida Loca with 1 Comment

  • 17 people were Baptized today. It was crazy cool! I love hearing the cheers of people when someone comes out of that water more than anything. YEAH! Here is video of some of the baptisms. Sorry for all of my excited screams…wait…no I’m not!
  • I literally just sat down for the first time today. Crazy. I got up at 5:30am and its 11:00pm right now.
  • I fixed another neighbor’s fence and gate today. I am officially going to start CadillacZak’s Fence Company. I worked on this one for 4 hours. Yikes.
  • My other neighbors came to church today for the second week. We’ve been inviting them since they moved in. Today we showed them their names on the God’s Most Wanted list and they were extremely grateful. AWESOME!
  • The energy, momentum, and excitement in the second service today was off the charts. I’ll be sailing on that fuel for the entire week!
  • The band did awesome today. Of course, maybe I just think that because they pretty much played my favorite 5 songs out there right now.
  • I made the biggest screw-up ever in the history of TCC at the start of the first service today. Luckily, I don’t think anyone (other than staff and some team members) even knew. HAHA!
  • Cole did the only thing that takes more guts than a pastor saying he’ll get a tattoo today…that is, saying that you won’t after you said you will. I am behind him 100% and I am PUMPED that The Connection Church GETS IT. Bringing eggs isn’t about Cole getting a tattoo or any dumb contest. Bringing eggs is about reaching people who are far from God! Thank you for understanding that its NOT ABOUT YOU TCC!!!
  • After church naps are for wimps. I’m just saying…
  • We are launching the new Connection Church website this week. Looking forward to it!
  • Had a guy from church call me today with a “religious emergency.” He called and said that he had spilled the ashes of his girlfriends father and wanted to know how to properly and respectfully clean it up. My response was “dude, just get it done before she gets there!”
  • Cole told me that he is going to be encouraging the staff to fast on Good Friday this week. PUMPED about that. We’ve never fasted together. More on that this week.
  • Stick around this blog, cole’s blog and www.theconnectionchurch.org this week. We’ll be sharing lots of good stuff about Easter!

Ink and Water

April 1, 2009 in GOD, The Connection Church with Comments Off

Gotta love Easter! The office smells like the ink of 25,000 direct mail pieces already sorted and waiting to go out combined with thousands of bottles of water.

It makes for some tight hallways and cluttered space, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. You can literally feel the momentum that is upon us.

Connection Church, get ready for God to do something B-I-G.
