Busy

Reaching the end of an incredibly busy week... and looking ahead to another one (or two).  I love this new season we're entering at Catalyst - many well-laid plans are coming to fruition.

It's time's like these that I remember the words of
George Otis:

”God almost never calls His people
to a fair fight.”

For what it's worth, here's a write-up on Catalyst from today's Kent-area Record-Courier.

Relationship Questions?

Andy Sikora is Stinkin' Cool

Over on our CataBlog, I mentioned that Andy Sikora is stinkin' cool.  But allow me to explain why:

1)  He makes me laugh.  We could be talking about anything from Russia to Jell-O and Andy's sense of humor would just crack me up.  And it's ADD-kinds of joking around.

2)  Unity in essentials.  We both share similar views to pastoring 20-somethings in the 21st century and hold to the the same essential truths of Christianity.  On the non-essentials, we arm-wrestle debate vigorously model charity.

3)  No ego.  Seriously, Andy is a safe sojourner in ministry for me to let my hair down with.  Coming from a more established church ministry, Andy could tell me everything I'm doing wrong and deconstruct until the cows come home, but instead he cheerleads and encourages.

Andy is graciously guest teaching this weekend at Catalyst.  It'll be stinkin' cool.  Here's a digital Jack Baeur teaser we filmed the last time he came up to The Kent Stage to speak:

"I need to pray to receive Christ"

An hour before Catalyst this morning, 17-yr-old Shelby of Kent walked into The Kent Stage lobby and uttered those words to me.

We prayed together.

During worship, she stood up and was baptized as a brand new believer.

And she just started coming to Catalyst 2 weeks ago.

Only God. 

Hear for yourself.
