Saturday Night Mind Dump…

• Good night tonight
• Tough topic to talk about:  Divorce
• Divorce is something that has touched all of us on some level and is not an easy topic to talk through
• Too many churches do not give a full answer and they treat it as the unpardonable sin and a lot of damage is done
• Tonight was tough, because Jesus says tough things about divorce, but there is also the hope of the gospel
• I hope that came through
• If you missed tonight, you can listen to it here
• If you have some questions after tonight and are looking for some resources on God’s view of marriage and divorce, here are some books that are worth checking out
• Here is a great article written by Mark Driscoll and the elders at Mars Hill Church on the topic of divorce and remarriage. This is incredibly thorough and lays out what we talked about tonight
• Coming up on one week of the 30 day sex challenge, it has been quite an experience so far
• If you haven’t decided to take on the challenge, now is the time
• The band nailed the song “Fighting” by Yellowcard
• Love that I pastor a church that is willing to play a Yellowcard song and to use redeem culture to share the gospel
• The next 2 weeks at Revolution are can’t miss weeks
• We will lay out what I consider the 2 most important things when it comes to marriage
• If you get these 2 things, you will go a long way in your marriage
• Katie this week has been blogging a lot from a woman’s perspective about how to handle a husband who is struggling with porn and how to understand a man’s sexuality and how it is different and how that impacts a wife
• If you haven’t checked them out, you can check them out here
• Got to connect with a number of new people from Revolution this week, love all the new people we’ve had over the last 2 months and how they are sticking
• We had 7 first time families/individuals tonight
• That never gets old
• This week is a week of transitions in our house
• Ashton is starting to stand on his own
• Gavin started potty training and is getting close to being done
• Got to make a fire in our firepit this week, love that smell and sitting out under the stars around the fire
• I am just blown away by what God is doing right now at our church and that I get to be a part of it
• So excited about our friends coming next week
• Who are you bringing?
• It is going to be an eye opening night, one that will not be forgotten
• We have some awesome creative elements, with a cool surprise cover song
• See you at Revolution!
