being honest about THE STICKS.

OK...I'll be honest right now about the conference we are hosting called THE STICKS.

My ultimate goal is to HANG OUT, NETWORK and LEARN from all of you who are also in small to medium sized towns. What? We do not claim to have this corner of the market figured out just because there are a bunch of people running around here. (bunch of people is all relative, since 44,000 of the 54,000 people in our county are unchurched...anyway...)

I will have my NOTES out and ready as I learn from some of the best leaders in America, most of which are from small to medium sized towns. One of the best is the church we are teaming up with from NEWPOINTE and their Lead Pastor, Dwight Mason.

And the X-FACTOR...YOU! You are really the star of the gathering. The EQUIP sessions are for DISCUSSION, DISCOVERY, and TRUE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. I pray our team learns a TON from YOU and your teams as we facilitate with other leaders and churches what mistakes and victories we have had, and the principals we think they are founded on. And by the way...there are less than 400 seats available.

Just being HONEST. What do you think? Hit the COMMENTS below and start the conversation.

"Where there is no guidance, a people falls,
but in an abundance of counselors there is safety." (Proverbs 11:14--esv)

blessings and peace.
