I will continue to write about what happens at Passion 06, but I’m going to focus more on the people I see, new people I meet, community groups, and breakout sessions. For what goes on in the main sections, Louie and the Passion team’s continued blogging at http://268blog.blogspot.com/ is more complete than what you’ll find […]
I need some sleep, so I’m not going to write much tonight. Main session with acoustic worship, Louie Giglio’s teaching, prayer triangles, Charlie Hall leading worship. Community groups (the size of a normal conference) and family groups (8 people). Also got to go to a Hymns: Ancient and Modern concert as a late night event.
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light, on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy, they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as men rejoice when dividing the plunder. For as in the […]
I’ve had multiple reasons to do a lot of thinking recently about the church and its response to the world.

As someone who doesn’t show near enough love to the people around me, I really resonate with JR’s analysis of how things could have been instead of how things are. On a related note, I think Matthew 5:38-45 fits in […]
I know I’ve been bad about posting recently, but I wanted to put something up here thanking you all for making this summer awesome. The summer has had it’s ups and downs, but God is faithful and I know that He will never toss me anything that I can’t catch. So, to everyone I’ve worked […]
Last night was a fun night at The Gathering. John gave the sex talk, which is one of the best sex talks I’ve heard. You can hear it (once it’s posted as Part 5) here. Reminds me of Jim Pace from [nlcf]’s story about how the first two times he ever gave a talk about […]
