missio

Here’s the second post of my 2007 wrap-up. I’m beginning by reviewing my life this past year, through by highlighting some of my posts from throughout the year. Here’s the second quarter (Apr-Jun). You can find January through March here.

April

April was a blog-filled month for me for some reason. Part of it was the National New Church Conference in Orlando.  I reviewed a pretty good book about the beliefs of the emerging church and we wrapped up the book of Matthew in the college class I teach. It was a great message, by the way. The Cross is always powerful. I was also contemplating some different names for the church in Greenville. Guess what we went with . I also surveyed the Uptown area to get some info on who lived in the area. Here’re the surveys, along with the initial data and my conclusions from the data. I posted our vision for the church and attended another Acts29 Luncheon (notes). To end the month with a bang, I took what was practically a two-week vacation: first to Oriental, NC (miniature Charleston), and then to Orlando, Florida. Check out the conference notes here.

May

I posted some thoughts about Bill Hybels and Mark Driscoll to start May off. I also reviewed Spiderman 3 through the lens of the Gospel, posted about a potential Great Awakening, and started posting the Top 15 Church Plants from my point of view.

June

Posted about using the iPod to teach and wrapped up the Top 15 Church Plants series. I also posted 33 Podcasts that I listen to. One of my favorite posts was this one on leadership from the book of Acts. Here’s another post on leadership. I also started blogging through the book of Amos, which I will post the links to in the next post. Finally, I headed to the mountains with Miranda’s family (we had a blast.)
