God's Will

This past weekend Perry Noble of Newspring Church delivered a message about discovering God's will or purpose for your life. Watch the video here.

I loved the part of the message where Perry says "Sometimes we must leave the place we are currently at so that He can reveal more of Himself to us."

Would you be willing to leave if that was God's will for you, or would you listen to those who want you to stay because the think they know God's will for you? Either that or they are afraid that if you leave they will be less effective.

When I Listen to the Word of God and I Walk in the Ways of God, then I will Discover the Will of God!

God's Will can be found in God's Word.

Less Than A Month

I will officially become a DAD in less than 4 weeks.

It's so much fun to feel the baby move, kick, and roll around in my wife's belly.

The due date is August 18th so you don't have much time to send your presents our way.

Coming Soon...Accelerate

The next Message Series at The Journey will be called Accelerate. This 5 week series will talk about
* Bible Study
* Prayer
* Generosity
* Being alone with God (Solitude)
* Friendship

Looking forward to a killer video idea for the "Solitude" message.

Project Runway

Tonight begins the new season of Project Runway on Brovo.

I must say there is a lot to learn from that Tim Gunn person. He's favorite saying is "Make it work" What are you currently working on that may not be going as you had planned and you just need to "make it work"?

Continued Learning

Today I attended my first ever eSeminar with Adobe. The seminar was on creating a workflow from AfterEffects to FinalCutPro.

These two programs by nature do not work together, but by working through Apple's Motion they will.

Now I can create graphics in Photoshop or Illustrator and work with them all the way through to FinalCut.

I would have never know this if I had stopped learning once I left school. How have you continued to learn?

WOW Factor

Recently we have been trying to have an element on our Sunday's that we call the WOW factor. This is the element that makes your guests say WOW, creative I know.

For instance a couple of weeks ago we had a huge Cereal Bar (for free). We didn't just have one or two kinds of cereal, no, we had almost every kind of cereal imaginable. We also upgraded our Peppermints in the bathrooms and elevator to Andi's Candies and Peppermint paddies.

While the WOW factor is a great way to make a great first impression, but what is it during the service that is making the guests say "WOW this is Church?"

Also, how do you create a WOW factor this week, and WOW them next week as well?

I'm Back

I noticed the other day that I have not posted in over a month.

I do check other people's blogs everyday, but I'm just terrible at putting something on my blog.

It is my goal to post everyday for the next 3 weeks. Maybe after that time it will be a habit for me. And maybe just maybe I'll be able to say something meaningful.

I'll need you're help to keep me posting, so encouraging comments are welcome.
