Video from youth retreat

A couple of weeks ago we took our youth group up to Asheville for a couple of days.
We stayed at a camp ground with no electricity, which meant no amplifiers or flashy lights, just guitars and voices worshipping the King.

New Tomlin Record

Got this in my inbox today.
I heard this on the radio a couple of days ago and I was like, “That sounds like Chris Tomlin… but I don’t know this song.”
It made me happy :0)
You can download the song on iTunes or Amazon.com.
Did you hear it yet? What did you think?

Really, really fast guitar playing

Jeremy and I went to hang out at Mike D’s house last night. We broke out the guitars and had some fun.
Watch Mike and tell me he’s not the fastest guitar player you’ve ever seen :0)
PS – Go visit Jeremy’s new blog and show him some love!

For Stephen and Mike D.

“Shout To The Lord” on American Idol

I’m sure you’ve seen all the blog uproar about the song “Shout To The Lord” being used on the show American Idol. I honestly didn’t think too much of it when I first heard it. My knee jerk reaction was to be even more disillusioned with Hollywood that they took the word ‘Jesus’ out of [...]

Pray for us this week…

This should be a very interesting week…
I get the opportunity to teach on worship this week.
Steph will be in what our book says is the hardest week of the first 6 months of pregnancy.
…and she’s teaching on women in missions somewhere in podunk Va this morning.
…and she woke up with a nasty cold…
I foresee potential [...]

Passion: God of This City

Just about a year ago, Steph and I went to the last major Passion Conference: Passion ‘07.
For weeks afterwards, they promised that some of the new music would be coming out via iTunes in the near future, but then they went and decided to do a world tour, so a full year later, it’s here:
