Reflection on Exponential

As I sit here in the Orlando Airport waiting for my flight I've had some time to reflect on the last 4 days and my experience at the Exponential Conference. Let's say if I have the opportunity to come next year I would love to...and bring a team with me.

God spoke to me throughout the conference and especially during the last Plenary Session. I know that God has called me to plant Veritas and that he will take care of us in a number of ways (people, finances, etc...) God reassured me numerous times that he has his hand on me. I remembered quite a few times the line "Don't forget in the darkness what you found in the light" from the song "Light and the Sea" by our Worship Leader Matt Wheeler. He helped me see just how awesome our team that we have assembled thus far is. I also gained wisdom about core group development, service ideas, and various other issues. I also won a software package called Converge which helps with details...and if you know me....I need that help.

So I am refreshed, renewed, and ready to hit the ground running in developing the core group, seeking out new people to join us, finding our Sunday gathering space, and developing various Random Act of Kindness events. I am blessed with my family's support...my wife is an amazing woman. I am blessed with awesome kids. I am blessed with the great opportunity and responsibility on working on helping to build the kingdom of God in partnership with Jesus, the Holy Spirit, our team, and other churches.
