Burnt to a Crisp and Wanting More HEAT!

Today, we went to Henry Harris Park in the Keys to hang with some of super people from Life Pointe. Fished a little. Swam a little. Grilled ribeyes under the Gumbo Limbos. When we got in the car to come home, I looked like a racoon (not as bad as Jim [...]

Today Rocked

Life Pointe has absolutely been rocking lately. Today, was killer. Our Memorial Day crowd was great. We had a ton of key people out and everything went very smoothly. That’s the kind of leadership growth I like to see.
Something Like Simon jammed. The gorillas were wearing really [...]

Pyro Marketing - Greg Stielstra

I just received Pyro Marketing by Greg Stielstra yesterday via Amazon. Along with it, I also ordered Purple Cow by Seth Godin, Brand Hijack by Alex Wipperfürth, and A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink.
Pyro Marketing is the marketing srategy behind the success of Rick Warren’s Purpose Drive Life. I cracked P.M. open [...]

eBible.com

David Russell hooked me up with an invite to Beta test eBible.com, an awesome, simplified online Bible. I’ve been slammed with some projects this week and did not have time to activate my account. Now it is expired and I’m left waiting in line like a regular Joe. Since this is the [...]

iGod Direct Mailer

The iGod postcards will be hitting mailboxes between 06.07-06.10. This is prime time to invite friends and neighbors. The postcards by themselves generate little response. But, when they are coupled with your personal invite, the response rate multiplies. Grab a fistful of our iPod shaped invite cards this Sunday and spread [...]

George W. Bush & George W. Bush

I love this video. Thanks, David.

Amazed by My Creative Team

This morning we met at Starbucks on Old Cutler Road to go over some elements of the iGod series. I don’t know what to say except that some amazing stuff is developing. This team has the potential to be really great. I’ll share more about them later. To really experience [...]

Ridgestone Backstage

Gary Lamb, my redneck buddy from Ridgestone Church in Canton, GA is getting it done in a big way. They are about to launch Ridgestone Backstage soon. Thanks, Gary for pulling back the curtain and letting us take a look at how its going down in your town.

iGod Message Series Video Trailer

I’m pretty excited about this series. We’ve stolen ideas from all over for it. I’m excited enough that we postponed our Roadtrip series to do iGod. There is also a decent chance we might get a little spiff in a prominent place in town prior to this the 06.11 opening. [...]

Blogging DaVinci Code

I just got in from watching Ron Howard’s movie at Flagship Cinemas with 20 others from Life Pointe. My quick observations:

There is no way that DaVinci’s Last Supper portrays Mary Magdalene at the table. If that’s the case, John is missing from the story. Scripture, the most authoritative historical text shows that [...]

DaVinci Code is Here

Yesterday, a really nice lady handed me a leaflet as I passed Flagship Cinemas on the way home from my office. The flier was a call by the Catholic Church to boycott the movie. Of course, I am the biggest fan of Flagship Cinemas. I buy big cokes and super sized candy [...]

Andre and Aristotle

Tomorrow at 10, I will do a funeral for my friend Aristotle. He was 37. At about the same time, Baby Andre will face a fairly significant heart surgery. Andre was born at 23 weeks into the pregnancy at 1 lb 5 oz. He is now 9 days old. God’s [...]

Creative Church Conference - June 15th

We’re going. My team is going. And, because there is a blanket registration fee for the church, anyone that would like to go from Life Pointe, can apply to go. If you’ve been here for a week and want to go, email Mayra with your info. The only caveat is that [...]

"Da Vinci" Misses the Mark for Critics at Cannes

“It’s a movie about whether the greatest story ever told is true or not, and it’s not the greatest movie ever screened, is it?” said Baz Bamigboye, a film columnist for London’s Daily Mail.Read the Article

Miami: The Number One City for Road Rage!

AutoVantage didn’t need to commission a study find out that Miami has more road rage than any other city. They just needed to ask me. However, they were right for all the wrong reasons. They cite speeding, tailgating, cutting into traffic and having parking places stolen as the reason for these negative [...]

Sunday in Review

Yesterday was a great day a LPC. The set up team rocks. Every week, they are faster and more organized. It’s really amazing to watch! The music jammed. The stage is a little crowded. This week, we add another 12 feet to our stage…can’t wait for that! The band [...]

Espresso Yourself Trailer

Espresso Yourself is our May Message Series. Now showing Sundays @ 10 AM!

"The DaVinci Code" - opening 5/19

Hanks vs. the Catholic Church or so it seems. The movie is a fiction. Of course, some won’t see it that way. But, the truth is that people have been trying to show Christ for a fraud for 2,000 years now. 300 years after Christ was killed by the Romans, they [...]

Developing Evangelists According to www.800ceoread.com

According to 800 CEO Read, here are a few tips to “creating evangelists for your events.” There are 10. The ones I really liked and saw easy application in the church are:
2. Provide peer-to-peer opportunities.3. Be interactive.5. Be creative and surprising.6. Plan a social-media strategy (blogs, forums, etc…)8. Webcats sessions, presentations, and [...]

Ray Lewis is a Beast!

Monday night at the Hurricane Hall of Fame Induction, Ray Lewis waxed eloquently and was inducted along with Ryan McNeil, Darren Smith, Alex Roca, Leonard Hamilton, and a couple others. He’s a beast on the field and a beast behind the mic. His passion coupled with his ability make him the most dominant [...]

Something Pertinent

I got my Espresso Yourself mailer at my house today. So, I guess I decided to write something pertinent on my blog in case some of you really brilliant people find your way over to here from the Life Pointe site. Let me tell you that Sunday is going to be absolutely killer.
During [...]

The Evolution of Dance

Thanks to Robert Pooley for a great vid. Of course, since we are on the edge of cultural evolution, I thought it would be a disservice to you all if I failed to share the documentary.

Espresso is a serious drink. Just a tiny cup of it packs a powerful caffeinated punch. In much the same way, our lives can make a powerful impact on those around us.

This Life [...]
