Live from the Awakening Conference…

I have the incredible privilege of being back at the Awakening Conference this year. It’s one of thee best youth conferences in the entire nation held right here in Rhode Island at New Life Worship Center. I gotta give it up for Marco Debarros and the youth team here. Chris Hill was here last night. The dude hit it out of the park. That guy can preach. And get this, the guy gets done preaching a masterpiece, Im talking a homiletical wonder,  and then tells me afterward, “oh I got that this morning.” Im like…I quit. Thats like a an artist going up to Michaelanagelo and saying, “How long did it take you to paint that ceiling?” The guys was literally off the charts. Tonight I had the awesome privilege of meeting Aaron Gillespie. Aaron is in the band Underoath and The Almost. He did a fantastic job speaking and brought home the  importance of knowing God loves us and connecting with him. The guy loves Jesus and is super genuine. The conference also had a band by the name of This Beautiful Republic that were just GREAT. Well, Pray for me. I have one last session tomorrow with youth pastors and I am asking God to make my words be a catalyst for revolution in the youth ministries represented. I covet any prayers. Sorry for the absence from  the blogosphere but I am running around like crazy.
