Wowed by Catalyst


Wow...I mean WOW! What a conference last week in Atlanta...it was the Catalyst Conference and by far one of the best that I've ever attended. I was moved, refueled, motivated, refreshed, excited, enthused, stirred, inspired…etc. You get the idea!

Many different speakers / teachers that came from all kinds of backgrounds led the different sessions. Of course each session began with some really incredible worship music…it was like being at a rock show, yet the focus was totally on God and praising His name. Talk about some great worship leaders…Steve Fee was pretty phenomenal!

My favorite session / speaker?? It would be a tie between Andy Stanley and Craig Groeschel, both pastors in very large churches, but I couldn’t write fast enough in taking notes…just good practical stuff! I’m going to try and persuade the rest of our staff here at FBC to go next year (Oct. 8-10)…a very moving conference.

Holly and Bryan drove down Thursday night and following the conference on Friday we spent the rest of the weekend seeing the sights and sounds of Atlanta. We did the Georgia Aquarium, the Coke Factory, CNN center, ate at some really good restaurants…just some great family time! We got home yesterday afternoon after a quick stop in Chattanooga to visit our buds the Brown family.

As always it was good to come home…after a week of Atlanta traffic…coming home to Richmond was like coming home to Mayberry!
