We’re about half way through the 2009 Exponential National New Church Conference and there’s a lot to talk about. Don’t worry, I won’t unload on you. But one of the things that I love the most about these types of gatherings is not just the info you can glean, but the encouragement and camaraderie of other folks in the fight. It has been great hanging out with two of my best friends, my “little” brother Eric, and Leo, whom I’ve known since late 96 from a ministry in Indiana. It kind of reminds me of one of the things we see in the biblical model of authentic church, and that’s just the daily encouragement of the saints toward one another. I like that. That’s also a HUGE reason why I love our community here at NHCC. So thank God for THE Church. Thank God for Eric and Leo. Thank God for NHCC.
