I missed seeing you at the Catalyst conference. I didn’t expect that you would be there. I got to go down with the D.Min. office of Gordon-Conwell, since I represent the Center for Preaching. It was the first time I got work to pick up the tab for attending a conference. I saw Justin, the old junior high intern, there and he mentioned that other Central people were around, but I just never caught up with them.

Being in New England, we don’t get much hype in churches or youth conferences like the West Coast. So, I was interesting to experience this with a guy from New Hampshire that has never been in this Christian culture.

I found it to be an amazing conference though. A solid mix of speakers.

Sorry we didn’t get to connect there.

I like your Catalyst breakdown. I agree, it was pretty hype-y. And it was nice to see the mix of missional/attractional as well. Just by chance, my regular seat was definitely surrounded by a bunch of attractionals with Southern accents, hehehe. Made for good contrast in conversation as we compared notes.

So, did you bring home some magic from the bottle?
