  • Tonight was a night of up and down’s
  • It was also a night that as a pastor, you sit back and marvel at
  • I wrote 5 different sermons for this week, and actually used the one I wrote in my head this morning
  • Amazing how God constantly speaks when you sit in a passage for awhile
  • Had a fill in drummer that never played at Revolution
  • Blown away by the talent and gifts of all the people who attend our church
  • And everyone’s willingness to pull the rope and move Revolution forward
  • We blew a sub during warm-ups, so that’s not awesome
  • Tonight I talked about the fact that “God uses people who are humble and willing to do whatever, whenever”
  • That really encompasses so many Revolutionaries
  • Way to go
  • I shared tonight that Katie and I are in the process of international adoption
  • Got a lot of questions about it, but a lot of encouragement about it as well
  • It is scary and exciting at the same time
  • Here is a great book to check out if you are curious about it
  • If you missed tonight, you can listen to it here
  • I feel like it has made a huge difference practicing my talks each week
  • What a difference
  • We also did baptisms tonight
  • Love seeing people take that step and hearing how God has changed their life
  • Love when we do baptisms at church
  • Love hearing the stories of life change and how God has worked in people’s lives
  • And I get to be a part of it 
  • We announced tonight that our next partnership class is going to be on March 21st and we had 14 people sign up tonight
  • Crazy
  • Love how many people want to step up and call Revolution their church home and be a part of what God is calling us to in Tucson
  • If you are new to Revolution, on March 7th (next Sunday) we will be having a Newcomer’s brunch
  • This is a great time to hear about Revolution and meet some of the staff and leaders of the church
  • In case you missed them, here is my week in pictures
  • I’m meeting with Luke Simmons this week
  • Really excited about connecting with him and learning about some of the next stages Revolution is going to be going through as we grow
  • Been making a concerted effort recently to be connecting with leaders who are just a little bit bigger than us to learn how they got there, what to avoid and what I need to know
  • Very enlightening
  • Been reading 2 books this week that are convicting and eye opening:  The painful side of leadership (Every leader needs to read this book) and Adopted for life (It is impossible to read this book, stay a Christian and not adopt, so convicting)
  • Rev Up starts next Saturday
  • Help us spread the word to every student 6 – 12 grade that you know
  • It is going to be awesome
  • I am blown away by all of the things happening at Revolution right now and all the things coming up
  • I’m out stuff to say
  • Night world
