- Please pray for our sound guy, David Carey, and his family. He is already fighting cancer and this morning he was rushed to the ER for heart issues. We will know tomorrow, but tonight, would you please pray for him?
- SERIOUSLY sore from the 31 mile race I ran yesterday. MAN. Don’t remember ever being so sore.
- No pain no gain though. That’s not just a dumb saying…its PURE TRUTH. If you want to accomplish something great, it WILL cost you something.
- Last night a literally sat in a tub of ice water for 20 minutes. Freezing cold…but felt good. Might do it again tonight.
- Revolution Church was CRAZY today!
- We had my good buddy Josh Rosenthal in from Salt Lake City Utah leading worship. It was interesting to see how people responded to just a mic and a guitar instead of a loud, driving band. I love mixing it up!
- Also, in Revolution Kids, we had a magician, Aaron Lynch performing. He shared some stories from the Bible in very creative ways. Honored to have him with us.
- We had people accept Christ today! NEVER GETS OLD! YEAH BABY!
- Also had a TON of 1st time guests today. Awesome!
- My good friend, Seth Pennington, and I hung a 5 foot by 10 foot banner with the church logo, website and service times on the front of our meeting location today. Awesome to have some constant exposure at our location.
- I shared our 1st BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) today for the first year of Revolution Church…we want to see 100 people baptized during year one!
- Had some awesome new people step up today into volunteer roles when we really needed it.
- Yes, I said “you don’t give a damn” in the sermon today. Go listen here. It was a powerful story/illustration of how we tend to think vs. how we need to think.
- Pumped about starting our new message series next week called “Save the Humans!”
- Also pumped about our first ever Partnership Class! If you attend Revolution Church, I hope you’ll join us for this special day!

Sunday Mind Dump
Favor
I don’t do this often, but lately I’ve been asked way more than usual how to pray for me. In June of 2009, I asked you to pray this same thing. Today I ask again.
Luke 2:52 says this:
“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” -Luke 2:52
Please pray that this verse would be true in my own life.
I want to grow in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and with men over the next several months so that Revolution can reach more people in less time and help them become fully devoted followers of Christ.
Special Launch Weekend Prayer Focus
I believe that the single most important thing as we launch Revolution Church is that we are people of prayer. So, starting Saturday, Jan. 23rd at 6:30am we will have someone praying at all times for the Launch of Revolution Church for 12 hours straight.
I’d love for you to join us by committing to prayer for one hour. You can click here to sign up. After signing up, you will receive a prayer focus guide.
Then, at 6:30pm on Saturday, if you are local, we will meet at the Stars Gym for a short communion service as we pray for nothing short of miracles to happen in the hearts of people this weekend through Revolution!
Saturday Night Shots – I’m Back
I’m back from a short blogging break to hit you up with some Saturday Night Shots!
- PUMPED about being in our rental space for the first time as a team tomorrow.
- PUMPED that we’ll be having music for the first time tomorrow. Ricky Garzon is going to lead us through a couple of songs in worship.
- PUMPED about a hundred other things God is doing that are all colliding in the next few weeks to create the FIRST EVER Revolution Church gathering, our first preview service. NICE!
- PUMPED that we reached our goal (and beyond) and will be getting some MUCH needed equipment and a big trailer to haul it!
- EXTREMELY THANKFUL for everyone who gave towards the goal AND for everyone who prayed their guts out that we’d be able to reach that goal. THANK YOU ALL a MILLION times over!
- NOT PUMPED about driving 30 hours to Atlanta and back to get it. Thankfully, we have some awesome guys on the team that are going to go with me so that we can tag team it and rotate drivers.
- NOT PUMPED that my beautiful wife is in terrible pain. She woke up with some serious neck issues last night. Please pray for her.
- COMPLETELY SCARED OUTTA MY MIND that our first service is in two weeks. Holy moly! We don’t even have a mic for me to preach with!
- HAD A BLAST spending most of the weekend with my buddy Seth Pennington. Seth and I have about 10 hours in his truck on I-35 so far in the last 3 days. Love hanging with him, talking, praying, and serving God. Awesome to have a STRONG brother in Christ for the ride of life and church planing. He’s a HUGE encouragement to me.
