Weekend Reflections (Georgia edition)

Back from a long, incredible weekend in Atlanta/Canton Georgia, here’s some thoughts…

• It’s always great when Lori gets to travel with me. I love being with her and we always have a blast!
• Heard Craig Groeschel knocked it out of the park at Palm Valley!
• Gary and Deanna Lamb rock, they’re such great friends. It was good just to see them and hang out together.
• Revolution Church  is rockin’! They’ve experienced huge growth since I was there 2 years ago, amazing. BTW, for everyone who keeps asking: I can vouch that Gary’s not lying about his #’s. They’re real
• I preached extra long, 63 minutes in the second service. Oops. In my defense, they need to put a clock up so I know what time it is!
• Hung out with Hal and Sandy Mayer. Fun couple doing a great job in Tampa Bay (i’m jealous).
• Found a tiny little (and cheap) italian place in Buckhead called “Il Bagio”. If you’re in Atlanta, go find it. Best spaghetti bolognese i’ve ever had.
• Hung out with the Revolution staff Monday and shared some thoughts I had for them. I love how eager their team is to learn and grow.
• Gary’s got a great staff who are deeply committed to the vision of Revolution.
• Had lunch with Steven Gibbs Monday. Steven leads a great church and he’s a solid young leader. I love hanging out with him.

It was a tiring weekend, but I had a blast seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Loved preaching at Revolution and reinforcing the vision Gary has cast there. Ultimately though, I can’t wait to be back at PVC this week to wrap up the OnePrayer series in person!
