- What a night
- I got to teach on a topic I’ve never preached on but found myself feeling very passionate about it: the topic of being a woman of God and raising daughters
- I think too many women give in and settle for what culture offers and calls them to be instead of shooting high for what God intends for them
- Today is Ava’s 5th birthday, so I preached my sermon tonight from the perspective of my dreams for her
- I finished my talk tonight by reading a letter I wrote her, you can read it here
- One of the jobs I have as a dad is chronicling the life of our kids, so every year on their birthday I write them a letter talking about what has happened in their life and our family in the last year
- I plan to give them a stack of letters on their 18th birthday
- If you missed tonight, you can listen to it here
- If you want some practical advice on raising girls, here are some things worth checking out:
- Whatever happened to modesty
- Raising girls
- 10 practical tips on being a dad
- We had a baptism tonight, I love doing that as a church
- That is the win for Revolution, seeing lives changed
- We are having a newcomer’s brunch tomorrow and I think we have more people signed up for it than any other brunch we’ve had
- I looked out tonight and I was blown away
- We had more adults there tonight than ever before
- Found out that one of the kids in Planet Rev became a Christian tonight
- That never gets old
- Reading two really good books right now for my coaching network: Zero to Sixty and Cut to the Chase
- It was awesome to see one of our elders baptize his daughter tonight
- Praying that day will come soon for me
- Got to take a day of solitude this past week up on Mt. Lemmon
- The longer Revolution goes on and the more it grows, the more this becomes important for me
- Always helpful to get away and spend some quiet time with God and just listen
- Read a great book that really spoke to my soul while I was there
- Pretty excited about our staff team meeting on Tuesday as we are talking about what it will take for Revolution to get to 250 – 300 and beyond and what that means for all our teams and ministries
- Love the vision and energy and passion that our leaders have and how bought in they are to seeing people find their way back to God
- My dad comes out next Saturday, always excited to have him out
- He will be doing Q & A with me next week as I talk about “Raising a boy to become a man”
- Should be fun
- Wondering why there aren’t more bands out there as good as The Avett Brothers, seriously, they are amazing
- We are doing another adoption rummage sale on August 14th, mark your calendars and come out and buy some stuff to help us raise money
- One of the things I love about twitter and facebook is that after church I get to read what God is doing in people’s lives and hear stories of how people are changed and getting better connected at Revolution
- What a great tool
- That’s it for now
- Next week, do whatever you have to do to get every man you know to Revolution
- If you know someone who is thinking about getting married, is married, raising sons, whatever, get them to Revolution
- Seriously
