This is an incredible story! If you don’t know who Brian “Head” Welch is, he was the bass player for the band Korn. I use to listen to some of their music when I played football and after REALLY listening to lyrics was like “whoa….this stuff is not for me”. Watch and listen to how God broke Brian and remember that we serve a God who can take ANYONE and change their life, make them new, and free them from whatever sin or stronghold they are walking through.

So…..I recently attended the U2 concert and ,can I say, it was the best concert I have ever been to in my LIFE! The excitement and energy was unbelievable! I’m not a real fan of the Black Eyed Peas but they put on a show and I was so engaged that I started dancing all over the place! ha! While standing in line people kept talking about how excited they were to get in the door. Countless people including myself were like ” I can’t believe I’m here seeing U2 right now! UNBELIEVABLE!!!”.
At the end of the concert I got in my car and was all jacked up. I mean, these people all came here expecting great things to happen. I’m pretty sure the majority of them didn’t show up late and just stand there and be like “Cool, now i can check that off my list.” THEY WERE EXCITED! Why isn’t it like that at church? Why can’t we be that excited about showing up every Saturday or Sunday? Why can’t we show up expecting something amazing to happen? See, U2 is great. But nothing is greater than an encounter with Christ! He has the biggest show of all! The stars,clouds, mountains, animals, and everything on earth are his staging. His voice comes in thunder and rushing winds. He needs no encore because he never leaves.
The leather pants are winning. Although some are getting it in the church, hundreds of thousands are still more excited about a band than the Creator of “the band” and all things on this earth. Makes me sad, but stirs me to lead strong and encourage others to worship in what ever capacity that may be (song, serving,etc.) with EVERYTHING they have. Don’t get me wrong, I love U2. But I want my excitement to be about God. I want to forever say ” I can’t believe I’m here seeing God right now! UNBELIEVABLE!!!”.
I was up late last night and found that the Catalyst Project went public today! Pretty awesome! Cool to see the songs from the church rise and be put out there for all to hear. My song Hallelujah(All I Need) was written as a declaration and prayer to God saying that nothing in this world can satisfy like He can. Everything fades away but our God still remains! How great it is to have a Savior that will never leave us nor forsake us and truly is all we need.

That’s where the size of my child is! SURPRISE! You may not have known that but we are having a kid! It’s crazy that I will be a dad soon…and even SCARY! My wife, M’lea sends me a picture every week with the size of our child.
I find it funny that it’s all related to food, but cool to see the relativity of it. But, if I were a woman I would not want to know its relative size at the time of birth! ha! Life is always changing isn’t it?! And I invite it! Haven’t always been that way but have found it to grow me in ways that a non-changing life wouldn’t have.
I’m going to be a dad! :0)
