I've been in major catch-up mode since returning from the Exponential Conference. I arrived home in time to celebrate my birthday dinner last Thursday with Lisa and the kids. We went to Lou Malnotti's for dinner. We splurged a little - paid extra for the butter crust. Very nice! Then this weekend I was teaching at my new home - the Romeoville Campus. Tremendous vibe this weekend. The Gospel Choir sang and absolutely brought down the house. Then yesterday it was back at the office . . . had an interview with Warren Bird and Scott Thuma. They are doing a research project at several churches through Leadership Network. It'll be great to get the results. They are super smart dudes!
Back to the conference for a second. It was nothing short of phenomenal. Every session I went to was great - Ed Stetzer, Steve Andrews, Dave Ferguson, Andy Stanley, Rick Warren, and Tim Keller. I loved Bramlett's intro for Keller. And it was a lot of fun catching up with a bunch of our Newthing friends. I'd have to say the highlight was getting to talk to Tim Keller. Dave and I were fortunate to get to sit down with him on Wednesday night for about an hour. While most of us know he is brilliant, he is also incredibly practical and passionate about helping people find their way back to God. He had some great thoughts about reaching people in international cities. No doubt about his mission in life.
so, what were his thoughts on reaching people in international cities? i would love to know.
