Im at Lifechurch.TV what an experience!
Right now im in Oklahoma City, Ok visiting Lifechurch.tv. I squeaked out a few days to come and visit this incredible church. When I got here I had high expectations. I had heard so much about Lifechurch.tv from a few people. While I was prepared to be impressed, I gotta say I was blown away. I dont want to get into comparisons but I have seen nothing like what I saw today. On a personal note, I appreciated the doughnuts and coffee that Lifechurch.tv had for visitors versus the granola and yerba mate I got as a visitor when I visited Fellowship Church. I definitely felt more at home. Just a joke, Fellowship Church has coffee too, just no doughnuts:) But really, beyond the coffee and doughnuts, the church operates at such a level it could probably run a small country, or in light of Sarah Palin, maybe a whole country. The video guys probably have more executive experience than all the presidential candidates put together. I guess you have to to manage 25000 people at a gazillion services. Is that more than Delaware or Alaska?
I went to three services today at three of their campuses. I thoroughly, I mean thoroughly enjoyed every one, and two of them were video venues. The worship was intense, and Craig’s message was relatable and convicting. If you have never been to Lifechurch.tv this is something every pastor should see. Since Ill have some free time, tomorrow I want to blog about a couple of Craig Groeschel’s books that I have read.

Sounds great Mike…I’ve been digging Lifechurch for a couple years now – we need more MFI guys to be open to innovation while holding onto our roots! We just used the “Warrior” series at a Men’s Gathering from Lifechurch. Looking forward to your updates…they definitely have “IT”.
P.S. if/when you come to the MFI Conf. in October It’d be cool to meet you – I think we have a couple of mutual friends in Matt Molt and Doug Lasit.

Hey Brian,
I’d love to connect, but I wont be coming to MFI. I wish MFI would ask Craig to come and speak at the national conference- I think he could really add to where we are weak.
