Wow, read this on Shawn Lovejoy’s blog this morning and had to pass it along. He gives some great guidelines on having effective meetings. Had to pass them along:

Okay, so if you’ve been at CCC the past two weeks, you’ve been a part of a cool experiment: Video Teaching. This is an idea we’ve been wanting to use for a while now, even before we were planning on going multi-site. As I mentioned in this post, I would love to hear your comments and feedback on some of your thoughts on it when you get a chance. While not the whole message was video, key points and parts were.

Wanted to give a quick shout out to the man that discipled me….back when I was a punk…okay, back when I was younger punk 
From the time that I was in 7th grade through college, through all the junk that I went through, Tom was a constant Godly influence in my life. He discipled me. For that….I am more than eternally grateful. What an incredible gift I was given. Well, he’s finally blogging so I thought I’d give a little “whoop, whoop” to my man tom…check him out.

Dave Busby was what I would consider a modern day prophet. Even though he went to be with Jesus in 1997, his messages still rock my world whenever I listen to them. I had the privilege of taking my students to student life camp back around 2000 on a week when he was the speaker. Actually, that was why I chose that week. This was a man that struggle his whole life with cystic fibrosis, polio…you name it he had it. He was totally in love with Jesus, totally intense and to me he understood and communicated the grace of God like no other that I’ve known. You can check out DaveBusby.com and get a quick glimpse of him speaking…was probably around 1995. You can also grab some of his cd’s/dvd’s from the store tab. Would definitely recommend them.

This Sunday we’re going to be breaking some new ground at CCC….I don’t want to say what it is and ruin the surprise, but all I’ll say is the next three weeks will give people a taste of things to come. Should be an interesting experiment. I’m going to be speaking to our students so I won’t get to witness it live, but I’m VERY interested in the feedback. Stoked about speaking to our students. Going to be talking about Superhero and Matthew 14. Pray for me and for the students that God would really rock some.

You can’t have a revival until you have a funeral.
“…and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” Matthew 10:38-39

Here’s one in a series of videos that I’m working on for Kidz Creek. This one aired last week in Kidz Worship. Just some random silliness. The day we shot this it was about 90 degrees so they were about to burn up in their climbing gear.
