It continues to blow my mind, the doors that God opens. It happened again a month or so ago when I received an email from Todd Rhoades asking me to be a part of The Nines conference. I can’t believe I’m on this list, it is “in my weakness He is strong” in action. The [...]
Coming up right around the corner is Idea Camp and though I can’t be there, you should consider it. This is a big turning point in the InvisiblePeople roadtrip…no literally, Mark will be turning around and making his way back to LA after speaking in DC. What a fitting stop on his tour, Idea Camp’s [...]

We’re doing two sessions: Don’t Suck Online and You’ve Got Personality. The first is an important lesson, especially for this tech savvy [...]
I’m getting ready to head down to Oklahoma for ministryCOM 2008 and would love to see as many of you who are either going to the conference or are in the area.
