A bunch of the staff and I have been in Atlanta attending the Drive Conference. This was an absolutely phenomenal conference, it really challenged and recharged me. Tony Morgan gave a blow by blow of the 3 days, you can read it here…

My thoughts…

1) Andy Stanley is an ablsolutely incredible leader. Seeing/hearing how they’ve developed at North Point was a huge challenge to me as I seek to grow in my leadership, as well as developing a staff of leaders.

2) North Point does things first class. They observe the small details, and it makes the difference.

3) Their worship is off the hook. These guys brought it! It excites me for the developments in our worship team that Palm Valley will be seeing over the next few weeks. It also gets me pumped about building a worship center of our own. There are certain things we aren’t able to do in a gym with the excellence we’ll be able to do in the near future. No excuses for not doing our best, but it’s an honest observation.

4) Charles Stanley challenged me to live by faith, obey God in the face of conflict, and trust Him for the resources. He’s been through more conflict that I can imagine, and it was encouraging to hear the real deal from somebody who’s come through the wars and seen God bless!

5) We’ve got an awesome team at PVC. I love our staff, they’re incredibly gifted, they love the Lord, and they’re sold out to our vision.

These are my initial ramblings from the airport in ATL. We’ll be back in Phoenix about 3:00 a.m., and I’ve got meetings about our buildings beginning early tomorrow. I’ll write more later!
