Church of Today

I’ve heard many people call teenagers “the church of tomorrow.” That’s actually a ridiculous statement if you stop to think about it. After all “the Church” is the people … all the people … not just those who can vote, go to war and order a beer.
Some of the most amazing [...]

The Pursuit Staff @ Animal Kingdom

After the conference, we jetted off to pay homage to the mouse. Being Florida residents doesn’t hurt. Great deals at Disney! I hadn’t been to Animal Kingdom since it opened 10 years ago. We knocked it out in 6 hours easy. I think you need at least two days to [...]

Final Thoughts on Exponential Conference ‘08

After having some time of sifting through much of the information (some gold, some garbage) I downloaded in my mind last week, I am quite sure God is stretching me with new radical thoughts (at least they are new and radical to me).
I count myself quite blessed to have listened to godly men [...]

Last Day of Exponential

The wi-fi in this place is spotty. That’s what happens when 2700 pastors all have laptops.
This has been a great conference as expected. The best is yet to come. The last session has both Tim Keller and Rick Warren. I’ll post via Twitter updates any quotes that really stick [...]

Blogging the Conference

I didn’t get a chance to sit in a single session today so obviously I am not blogging.

No Hablo

To clarify, I DID NOT translate Andy Stanley’s message into Spanish at the Exponential Conference today. That credit goes to my pal, Alex Diaz, who is going WAY beyond the call of duty and serving this week.
He was blogging about it and accidently put in on my blog. Mr. Stanley’s message [...]

xxxchurch @ The Pursuit

Here’s a picture from yesterday’s celebration service @ The Pursuit. It was a great day for our 3 month old church. We were able to give a portion of our offering to xxxchurch so they can hand out more Bibles at the Miami Porn Show. I am excited about the generosity The [...]

Off to the Exponential Conference

Today the staff of The Pursuit is heading up to Orlando for the Exponential Conference. It is the largest gathering of church planters in the U.S. and quite possibly the world. I am looking forward to reconnecting with friends and making new ones who are in various stages of starting churches.
Alex and [...]

Miami Herald Article

The Herald has a story about XXXCHURCH.com and their booth at the Miami Porn Show. They did give The Pursuit a little pub (they got the day wrong). Craig will be speaking on SUNDAY @ 10:30 a.m. (not Saturday). If you are in the Pembroke Pines/Miramar area or just want to make [...]

Pray. Pray. Pray.

If you are reading this, I am begging for you to pray.
This weekend the city of Miami is hosting one of the largest porn conventions in the world. Drive down I-95 you’ll see the billboards. Read the Herald or Sun-Sentinel and read the articles. It’s everywhere.
At one booth, [...]
