Elevation Church

Had lunch with Larry Brey from Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC today. Wow...that pretty well sums things up. Larry was great to spend time with me and share their lessons, vision and passion. God is certainly doing something phenomenal in that they launched early last year and this past weekend had nearly 2000 in attendance. Holy crap! Great eye-openers and some confirmation for some of what God has been doing in us. They're a church that loves Jesus and wants other folks to know. I also really appreciated their willingness to resource and be available.

Conversation

Had an awesome opportunity to spend some time in the Seattle area last week, namely Everett at New Life Foursquare. Dan Laurenzo and Jim Crosby hosted several of us and it gave us opportunity for awesome conversation. This whole trip was full of great conversations on many levels. I love talking church and ministry and hearing fresh thoughts and getting challenged. Take advantage of your peers and get into conversation on a regular basis. It's huge.

Oh and Seattle is an unbelievable, beautiful city, beautiful mountains. Everything a great place needs!
