Sunday Night Mind Dump
- GREAT, I mean GREAT day today!
- Without a doubt this was the most insane morning we’ve ever had in our worship area. They had a TON of issues but NO ONE lost their cool and they got it working! VERY proud of those guys!
- This week Adam went from a guy who is learning how to be a creative arts pastor to a guy who knows what it takes to be one. He did a great job this week pulling everything together!
- We came as close as we have EVER come this morning to scrapping the band and going with Tim and Thad on stools with acoustic guitars. It was last second on getting things together.
- BLOWN away with Matt Moody leading worship today. After one of the worst practices and craziest mornings every, Matt and the band hit a grand slam. They were GREAT!
- Video teaching is NOT an issue. I know that makes a lot of pastors angry, but it is a non-issue at all. Pastor Furtick knocked it out of the park!
- I was so nervous this morning that we were showing video teaching. The devil was battling me big time, but the minute Pastor called me a redneck and our people laughed, I knew we were good.
- Our people were clapping when the people from Elevation weren’t. Another good sign.
- I am more pumped up about our second site today after seeing video work that I can’t stand it. We are going to blow the doors off of Holly Springs/Hickory Flat. Every time I say that it makes some pastor mad, but I could care less. There are people dying and going to hell in that area and I can’t wait until we get our campus up and running to partner with the churches in the area to see people come to know Christ.
- God stretched my vision for Revolution campuses today in a BIG way.
- I actually think the video teaching was to good. All of our people want to move to North Carolina now.
- GREAT crowds this morning.
- Excited about partnering with tons of area churches for “Give Kids A Chance.”
- LOVE that we are serving all the volunteers at the event.
- Love that we are partnering with Embassy Metro to do all we can to provide the needed book bags for the event.
- Thought it was awesome watching the video that showed the names of all the churches who are partnering together for One Prayer.
- Loved praying for area churches by name this morning from stage. I can’t lie, some of the churches I prayed for was hard. I know how they feel about Revolution and it was hard naming a few of the churches and their pastors, but I meant it when I said I want us to be cheerleaders not critics other other churches.
- I honestly think Pastor Furtick’s message was preached for our crowd today. We are getting ready to go to 5 services by the end of the year and I needed the reminder of God’s promises being bigger than our Perhaps.
- Can’t wait to have my great friend, Greg Rohlinger live with us next week. Greg was my friend when no one knew me and I was pastoring in the middle of a corn field in Iowa. He pastors one of the great churches in America and that He and Lori would come down here just to preach to our people blows me away.
- Very excited about Michael’s announcement for Oak Leaf Church. You can read about it here. They are going to rock Cartersville in big ways!
- It is sad, but a year ago I couldn’t or maybe I just wouldn’t celebrate what was happening in other churches. Today I can honestly say I love that God is bigger then Revolution Church and I love that I get to be good friends with people who are changing the world.
- Went to Kung Fu Panda today. Good movie but the best part was just being with my family.
- Steaks on the grill tonight. Yeah….come on!
- I found a motorcycle that the guy wants to trade for a mini-van. I’m trying to talk DeAnna into it but she ain’t biting.
- Thad is on vacation this week. Love that dude and love that he is on our team!
- I’ve been enjoying my sabbatical from blogging, but I am ready to get back to sharing my life with everyone.
- Until I start blogging regularly again, you can check me out on Twitter.
- I twittered all morning from church since I was teaching!
- Not only is Greg in town next Sunday, but Hal Mayer is coming to hang out for the day too.
- Happy Fathers Day to my pops. I have the greatest dad in the world!
- I’ve been reading about the life of David in the bible all week and God is rocking my world! What a great leader but you learn as much from his mistakes as you do this success.
- It is hot!
- Kids are making me brownies. Nice.
- I’ve been transitioning my leadership lately and while it has me out of my comfort zone, it is needed for us to go the next level. I am called to pastor Revolution, not be everyone’s friend. I love it when I can be both but some people can’t handle it. I’ve had to wear my “pastor” hat a lot more and I think for the first time ever, I am comfortable with that.
- I love the way our people make Revolution happen every week.
- Have a GREAT week!

[…] of David, I might have to pick Gary Lamb’s brain or steal his notebook to get some good ideas for the message […]
