Just got back from a great conference that "Passion" put on, it was called the "thirsty conference." I highly recommend going to this conference next year, especially because they way the schedule of the conference goes is 3 years on and 1 off. So you don't want to make the decision to go on the off year, that's a bummer. I know from experience.
The conference was full of great teaching (louie giglio, andy stanley, and francis chan) and great worship (charlie hall, david crowder band*, matt redman, chris tomlin, christy nockles) and great breakouts lead by all the worship leaders and main speakers dealing with anything from song writing to leadership training.
I got to take a few guys from my worship team, and probably one of the greatest things I could have done for them and the ministry.
For Instance, this past Sunday I had a tuff Sunday. Maybe because we had to "spring forward" and lost and hour of sleep or it just seemed after coming off this mountain top experience at the conference the devil was just coming down on me to discourage me. But then after I just thought it was going to be one of those days, Josh (one of the guys that went to the conference with me and did a breakout called "leading up", and it was all about supporting your leader) came up to me and said, "Jordan what can I do to take something off your plate I wan to help by leading up." I almost broke down, I told him, "That's all I needed to hear" after that, everything that was going wrong seemed to be so minuet.
Just wanted to share my excitement I have after being full up with God this week.
