Post Catalyst
Posted on October 12, 2008
I am still recovering and processing everything I took in from Catalyst. There were so many good speakers and too much to fully process all at once. I have wanted to write about it for the last couple of days and just haven’t been able to. Plus, I have been exhausted, last night was the first full night of sleep since we arrived.
It was great connecting with some other church leaders that I haven’t seen in awhile and some that I have known online but never met IRL. I had lunch with Ernie Stephenson and that was a lot of fun to compare notes and hear about the things that he is doing.
I also met Steve Harrison, who is involved with LifeChurch.tv Tulsa and we first met about 2 weeks ago in the LifeChurch.tv internet campus chatroom after the Tuesday evening service. We quickly found many common interests and before too long realized we would both be at Catalyst. Through Steve, I met Patrick Moore, the worship leader and founder of LifeChurchFranklin.com, a member of the LifeChurch.tv network. It was interesting and encouraging to talk with Patrick because he has recently done some things that we are interested in doing. I’ll definitely be in touch with him.
I also finally met David Russell, from National Community Church in Washington D.C. I have known David for many years online, through emails, chats and comments and we talked on the phone one night right as he was in the process of moving to D.C., so it was cool to meet him finally.
I also talked again with Van Metschke, the Tech Arts Director of South Hills Church. We met about a month ago when I visited Saddleback Church, so it was great to reconnect with Van for a few minutes.
We had a big group of us staying at Wayne and Elaine’s house. Last year, it was only Mary and I staying there, this year, other church tech types staying with us included Kirk Longhofer and Greg Simmons.
In other news, this has been a good week to ponder what to do now that I have relieved myself of my church responsibilities. Of course, no clear cut answers yet, that will come in God’s timing. I wonder if God is expanding my focus or maybe even changing it a little bit. I’ll share more on that soon.
