This concludes the series of posts that explain some of our decision to walk away from local church ministry for the time being. Some of the music that I’ve listened to in this period has really helped me in making this life-changing decision. Of course you would think that a musician would love music, but [...]

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 One of the defining moments in this journey was the second day of RECREATE 2011. Let me just stop and describe for you what [...]
What One Word Would Describe Me?
May 18th, 2011

My mentor, Randy Elrod, did this exercise late last year in preparation for his talk at RECREATE conference. He asked his readers to give one word in the comments of his blog that described him. He used it masterfully in his talk to help define “WHO AM I?” So, I’m taking his lead and asking [...]
That’s A Wrap (RECREATE 11) Love Will Hold Us Together
February 10th, 2011

Recreate 2011 went all the way to 11 (and beyond this year). I can’t begin to sum up in a short paragraph what these days here in Franklin have meant to my soul and my spirit. Only years from now will I be able to see what God has done this week in my life. [...]
Recreate Day 4- A Day of Contemplation
February 9th, 2011

Midway through a conference you’d think that the ebb and flow would begin to lessen. Some conferences just give you all they’ve got the very first day and hope that the gentle wave will carry you through the rest of the week. Honestly, at some conferences there have been times that I’ve thought “what else [...]

Well we’re at the end of Day 3 (really day 2 of the conference but for those of us who started early–it’s day 3) Today was the start of speakers and experiences.

Yesterday was a day of connection here at RECREATE CONFERENCE. It started yesterday morning at Merridees (a tiny breakfast place here) and we hooked up with Jeff Berry and Joshua Seller (a friend of Chris and the co-writier of “WORSHIP RISES” that we sing at our church) and lunch with Jenni Catron and Stephen Brewster [...]
When Art,Music and Life Collide
February 8th, 2011

Watch this video on YouTube. Sometimes there are just those moments in life when art, music and life collide. When it happens you just sit back and say “Wow” and you know that in that moment you’ve experienced something of great depth, beauty and wonder. I experienced that last night with Chris August and his [...]
I Am A QR Code

One of the things I love about the Recreate Conference is that we get to interact with some of the latest technology and discuss its implementation into culture, the arts and the church. This week we’ll be playing with QR (Quick Repsonse Codes) which are similar to bar codes but are easily generated and adaptable [...]
ONE WORD 2011
January 20th, 2011

I’ve been challenged by a new blog I’m reading and a new attendee to the Recreate Conference coming up in Nashville to pick one word for 2011. Just one word that will bring focus and meaning to the year. I’m a little late to the dance,but it seams that over 250 people have joined the [...]
