Efrem at Willow Creek Lead Summit

The Willow Creek Lead Summit is coming up in August. Efrem will be speaking there this year.

They’ve got their website up and running now. You can check out a sample video from Efrem there.

Or check out the introduction from Phil Jackson, who co-wrote the Hip Hop Church book with Efrem.

The Book at Amazon:

Incidently, Phil and Tha House MCs will be at Hip Hop Sunday this month, April 20th 9 & 11am. They blew the roof off last time…Tha House is a ministry led by Phil Jackson birthed out of Lawndale Community Church in Chicago.

Planet B-boy

I can’t wait to see this:

Maybe there will be a field trip for Hip Hop Academy sometime…

I practically peed my pants…

Spoken Word Dancing

This is too haaaooot!

thanks Ariah. 

It’s true. We’re Ol’ Skool in an Old School.

We’re still young. We’re learning. We’re growing. 

This last week we had Ambassador at Sanctuary. It was hot.

We packed 1137 adults into the Anwatin Middle School Auditorium with 1050 seats.Nobody called the Fire Marshall.Nobody advertised it either….Thank God we start two services next month….

No Country for Old Men

I saw No Country for Old Men last night. We actually went to see something much more light-hearted, but Juno was sold out. 

This movie was gruesome, violent, intriguing, non-redemptive, horrible to watch, very well-made, and left me with that sick pit in the stomach feeling when I left the theater. It was such a complete story, and yet left you feeling so unresolved.  

 

I can’t recommend it. I don’t hate it. But it made me think so much and feel so fatalistic that I can’t ever see it again.

Do you ever feel like time is running out?

Like this world is going to be gone in an instant? 

Like technology is moving so fast that every part of our lives will soon be automated?

Like there really isn’t much hope for generations to come?

Like we shouldn’t even be bringing kids into this world?

Like we’re taking ourselves out?

Like we all need a whole lot of Jesus right now and can’t wait for tomorrow?

That’s what No Country for Old Men did to me.

Pleasant huh?
