Brain Download: Unleash, Schedules, etc.
Posted by Jonathan Bryant on Friday Mar 13, 2009 Under Foothills, Random, WorshipSo I couldn’t wait until Sunday to put some of this down on the blog:
-Unleash was amazing! The speakers and sessions were awesome, and they provided everyone with a bunch of goodies and Chi-Fil-A for lunch… great time.
-Here are some of my most memorable moments:
—Are we asking God to use us to help build HIS Church, or we trying to build OUR church? -PN
—The number of Christians in America is rapidly declining. Lives are on the line and most of the churches in America aren’t doing anything about it. If it was your money, you would do something about it. -PN
—We’re never gonna be comfortable hearing from God if we’re uncomfortable with change. -PN
—Is there anything in your church that you are “manufacturing energy” for? -PN
—Your church is soaring at 30,000ft, are you really gonna be intimidated by a boy on the ground with a BB gun? -PN
—Leading Worship is a great gift of God’s grace. – LMcD
—We have to be a child of God first, a minister to people second, and a musician that leads songs on Sundays LAST. -LMcD
—We will never feel pressure like our Senior Pastors… let’s make sure to let them know we have their backs. -PN
—Do I understand that ministry is Received and not Achieved? -PN
-I’m still processing, so I’ll have more on this later… but those are the main things I’m chewing on right now.
-Eric, David, and I published our band schedules for April on Wednesday. God has been blessing us because I’m only using 2 people, one time from Seneca during the month of April… the rest are TOCCOA PEOPLE! Yea buddy!
-It’ll be a little different once May gets here, because college students are out. But it feels good to see direct progress right now. Thank you Jesus.
-I’m taking a break to write this from revising the budget for our family. It sucks… but I love the outcome. It will be ready to implement starting April 1.
-I think my Tacoma is breaking again. It had the headstock broken off last year, and I don’t think the glue joint is holding. It’s starting to make some weird noises during tuning… it makes me nervous.
-However, it gives me a chance to give my old Martin some play time. Restringing her today, I’ll let you know how it goes.
-Gotta get back to the budget, but thanks for reading.
