Catalyst Recap and Andy Stanley Podcast

All right sports fans,

1. I am working on getting a copy of "IT" for you guys that we can start shortly.

2. Andy Stanley's leadership podcast just updated. Take some time this week and listen to the message (about 21 minutes) and next week I will have some questions to discuss.

3. Let's do a quick Catalyst recap. Shoot a paragraph not describing the conference (we were all there), tell us one thing that really stuck out to you. One thing that you are still wrestling with or thinking about.

For me it is...
Matt Chandler's simple quote of "Jesus only is the difference between the church being the church than just a rotary club" (my paraphrase of course). How true is that. We can spend our time putting community service events on the calender. We can fill back packs, help in ESL classes, be a part of Christmas Express but if it doesn't point to the love of Jesus then we are really nothing more than just a club of do gooder's. We need to be on the front lines of desperate prayers that only God can answer as He unleashes His love on this city for His glory.

See, it's not that hard.

I love spending time with you guys in Atlanta. I look forward and pray for the day when we can share moments like that daily in the office.

Heart and Soul,
BAG
