I can’t remember where I first heard about Hal Mayer, but I am pretty sure it was in a coaching network I was in.  Someone was talking about this church in Tampa that was blowing the doors off.  I came home, checked out their webpage and put it on my “cool churches” bookmark and I would check in from time to time to see what they were doing.

I then attended a coaching network for about 2 months in Tampa before realizing it wasn’t my cup of tea, but one of the reasons I joined was I wanted to take the opportunity to met Hal while I was in Tampa.  I never made that happen, but about that time the cat started blogging and I was loving what he was saying and communicating to his church.  The dude is sharp and has a great preachers voice.

When I cut my blogs down to below 20, he made was one of the guys who made the cut.  Hal is the Lead Pastor at Church At The Bay and is getting it done.  They are blowing the doors off in a portable setting and he has a huge heart for church planters which is always a plus to me.  I love guys who are willing to learn from others and return that knowledge to others.

When I started Twittering, Hal was one of the first guys to start following me and he made the comment that he loved my blog!  Here is a guy I have been hearing all about and I follow and it turns out he is reading my blog!  I thought that rocked!  Today, we communicated and he is coming to hang out with Revolution Sunday, June 22nd.  This is going to be an awesome Sunday because one of my best friends, Greg Rohlinger is teaching for us in our One Prayer series.  I plan on learning a lot that weekend hanging with these two guys!

I am sure many of you already know who Hal is, but if not put him on your radar because the dude is getting it done!
