Shift

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

Our staff is pumped today. We could run through a brick wall right now. We would probably break some bones, but we could do it.
Ron Carpenter, Pastor at Redemption World Outreach Center in Greenville, came and met with us. He just came, out of the kindness of his heart, to pour into our staff for [...]

Blown Away

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

Here’s an email I sent to our volunteer staff today…
Folks, we’ll be baptizing 50 people this Sunday. We didn’t even have 50 people on our launch team a year ago.
I’m blown away with what God is doing at Elevation. I know I say that all the time. That’s because it’s true… all the [...]

Gettin’ there

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

Sean Lyon.
Sean is our volunteer staff [...]

Get addicted

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

I have an addictive and obsessive personality.
Why have 1 Diet Coke when you can have 6?
Why watch The Office straight through when you can rewind the funny parts and watch them 8 more times with DVR?
Back when I was 8 years old it was: How could you possibly go to sleep instead of persevering in [...]

Who’s there?

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

All right. I’ve done my part. I’ve borne my soul. I’ve shared my deepest thoughts. My quirkiest insights. I’ve faithfully updated this blog for several months now, usually daily.
Now it’s your turn. I want to hear from you. We decided to keep the comments section closed on this blog for fear that we wouldn’t be [...]
