Yesterday was incredible at Rivers Crossing as we kicked off our Bold Faith series. Getting people to ask the question based off of passages in the book of Acts, "God, what would you have me do?" We also announced the new space that Rivers Crossing will be pursuing and let me just tell ya, this city hasnt seen anything yet. God has his hand on Rivers Crossing. God has literally given us a dream location and we are incredibly thankful and cannot wait to see what is in store with our Bold Faith series.

What I've Been Up To & Album Update

2011-07-25T09:16:00.000-04:00

Sorry I havent really blogged a lot. Although Im not sure anyone ever reads this anymore haha. Last week I got asked to lead worship at a beach camp for West Lonsdale Baptist out of Knoxville, TN in Panama City Beach. I used to play at these types of camps quite a bit, however, with the move to Ohio I shifted to really focusing on investing my time and energy into our local community and local body at Rivers Crossing. It was great to do a camp again and Lord willing I'll be able to do a good bit more of these types of things in the coming years while continuing to invest in my local church of course.

The camp itself was great and the Lord really stirred in the hearts of the students. Its always special to see students go for it in worship, as well as respond to the message. I really liked how this group brought their middle school, high school, and college students to this camp. It brought a really cool dynamic. I hope to see this group again in the near future.

Album Update:
I am excited to announce that on Sunday, Oct. 16 we will have a Night of Worship/CD Release Concert at Rivers Crossing Community Church. We will pack out the high school with everyone from our city we can bring.

Then it will be released on Itunes on Tuesday, Oct. 18

In the month of August we will be putting out a video talking about the album as well as giving you some sneak previews to the other songs on the album.

Begin spreading the word and marking your calendars, especially if you're in the Cincinnati area for Oct. 16th!!!!!

And if you want to get the EP, you can do so on Itunes here and if you're interested in getting a T-shirt along with the EP, check that out here

Some Reviews on the EP

2011-06-28T06:41:00.000-04:00

A few weeks ago I released the A Love Better Than Life EP. The Full Length album will be coming out this fall and Im very excited about it. If you havent had a chance to get the EP yet, you can get it on Itunes or Amazon. You can also get it here along with some t-shirts we've made.

The feedback from the EP has been really encouraging. It really reminds me of why we set out to record this album in the first place. I thought I'd share some of them here on the blog.

First, the folks over at The Worship Community posted a review that you can check out here: http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/review-better-than-life-by-brandon-gilliam/

Get the new EP TONIGHTTTTTTTTTT

2011-06-07T17:16:00.001-04:00

Im excited to announce that beginning tonight at Midnight, you can get your copy of the new EP - A Love Better Than Life. It was so tough deciding which 3 out of the 10 songs I wanted on the EP because honestly I love every song on the album and how they each turned out. The guys at Bright City Studios in Charlotte absolutely killed it. Seriously.

I’ve had a few questions about whether or not I recorded an EP or a full length album. I recorded a full length album and the full album will be released early fall. The EP is simply a taste of the full length album. The EP will be 3 songs. The cool thing about releasing the album this way is that its a great way to introduce new people to the music.

The EP will be available on my website exclusively...and I would love your help in getting the word out. I'll be posting links on my website and on facebook/twitter and I would love it if we could just create this huge wave of momentum for this project on all of our social media outlets, our places of work, our friends and family.

The message of the Gospel is all throughout these songs, and my hope is that these songs will penetrate the hearts of a ton of people and that Jesus would be honored through it all. I truly believe that if we all collectively join together in getting the word out that we could see these songs go to places we never thought possible.

The best is yet to come.

New Show Announced: Opening up for the Gungor Band

2011-05-13T13:07:00.002-04:00

So a lot of you have been asking what this big news I keep talking about is. The wait is over. I've been offered the opportunity to open up for the band Gungor on June 11, at The Underground. Some people may consider this a letdown simply because you do not know about this incredible band, but honestly I could not be more excited about this. I'm a big fan of Gungor, and have actually enjoyed his music for quite some time now. HIs newest album, Beautiful Things, is a powerful album and one that you need to add to your collection. I feel so very honored and humbled to be asked to be a part of this special evening at The Underground and I hope that each of you will be able to come.

This is a ticketed event, and you can buy your tickets from me, as well as online I believe. Lets pack the place out. Seriously.

Easter Sunday At Rivers Crossing

2011-04-20T09:54:00.000-04:00

Easter Sunday is this week. Im believing God for huge things this weekend not only at Rivers Crossing, but at Churches all over this city and all over the world.

Here is my prayer for this week. That at least 1000 people would enter the doors of Rivers Crossing and that we would see a record amount of salvations as our Pastor presents the Gospel. I would love to see at least 100 salvations and I believe that could happen. Im praying and longing to see this happen.

I'd like to share a post by my good friend and an incredible pastor, Jay Hardwick (Go check out his blog). I've had the honor to be on staff with this guy and he's the real deal. He posted yesterday on practical ways you can invite your friends to Easter services.

Here is Jay's post:

Somebody Invite Somebody

If studies are correct, then over 80% of your friends who are not Christians or do not attend church are at least open to and likely to respond favorably to your invitation to church for Easter Sunday. In anticipation of what God is going to do and to create more room to invite more people, We will have two identical Easter services at 9:30 am and 11:00 am. It’s going to be a huge day!

A lot of you grabbed a stack of invite cards on Sunday and by the time you got home, the fear had already begun to set-in. What if they say no, what is they punch me in the face, what if they cuss me out, what if inviting them hurts our friendship…all these thoughts may have run through your head.

Let me encourage you to push out of your comfort zones and fight through the doubts to invite your friends to hear the gospel and worship Jesus on Sunday.

If you had free tickets for choice seats to see your favorite sports team, you would have no problem inviting people to join you. This is really no different…but it is because what Jesus has done for us is WAY more important than anything teenagers or grown men/women have ever done with a ball or a puck!

Here are some practical ways you can invite friends to Easter:

Pray for people by name each day. Trust that God is already at work in their lives. Ask Him to soften their heart.
Share a meal with your friend and invite them over the meal. Pick up the tab and invite them to church. Or, you could invite their family over for a meal in your home. Serve them well.
If you go out for a meal, ask how you can pray for your server before you bless your food, tip them well, and hand them an invite card before you leave.
Offer to eat lunch together after church on Sunday. Offer to pick them up or caravan with them on Sunday morning.
Talk about Easter at Rivers Crossing on Facebook and Twitter. Aim for at least one status update per day that would include an invite to Easter at Rivers Crossing.
Point people to our website. They can listen to previous sermons, get all the info they need for Kids, etc.
Prayerwalk through your neighborhood and invite people who are out working in the yard, playing outside, out for a walk, etc.
Put some invite cards on your desk, your coffee table, your car console, etc. where people will see them and ask you about them.
Keep invite cards with you all the time and be ready to step up when the opportunity pops up!
There are literally a zillion ways to invite people…these are just a few.

The point is this – God can use your invitation to radically transform a life. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to invite your friends to hear and respond to the gospel on Easter Sunday.

Find Your Ghetto - by Chris Marshall

2011-04-19T10:58:00.000-04:00

I read this blog post yesterday by a guy named Chris Marshall. I was also at this film on Sunday night, and felt like his words were spot on. So, with his permission, I wanted to post his words on my blog in the hopes that it will speak to you as well.

Tonight, I went and saw a screening of 'Reparando', a grassroots documentay about this place.

I now have so many friends and people within my networking context that have both been to La Limonada or have a role in serving/helping/partnering there now. Cincinnati in particular seems to have been infected with the virus of partnership that springs from the ghetto in Guatemala.

Our house church community had one of my former students, Rebecca Gant, come to one of our gatherings and share her story there when she was home over Christmas. She serves there, with a threat to her life and well-being, because she's in love. She's in love with the people, she's in love with a life of meaning, she's in love with the smell that comes from the city dump, for her and the others that serve there, it smells like hope.

Don't try making sense of it, these are the things in life not meant to be sensible.

After the screening, Tita, one of the main subjects of the movie shared just a few words about her work there and her partnership with Lemonade International. Tita's joy in life is infectious, the woman gardens in abject poverty and sees and smells beauty. She won't give up on the people that live in her heart. Their story is her story. This is not her job description, this is her soul lived outward. Employment is something you have, a calling is something that has you.

So, Tita, in her simple and humble manner, suggested this slice for life: 'find your ghetto'. I found these words to be haunting.

Poverty comes in many forms. I've walked in slums all over the world and I can tell you that it changes you. It becomes difficult to walk in my suburban megastore grocery with 437 different brands of cereal when I've seen others mix water with dirt and call it soup.

Can I tell you about the poverty I see and live in? I drove home from the screening tonight past the landscape of subdivisons built off of golf courses with names meant to instill thoughts of a regal countryside but are really built upon the cheapest of construction sand to ensure profitability. The entire neighborhood is built on fantasy, it's a fascade. Amidst the walls of these excesses of square footage achievements of the American dream are many flavors of the broken family. Not because they want to be, but because they don't know another story. Marriages characterized by distance and deception. Parenting wrapped in fear instead of intimacy. Teenage girls raised on idealic false images of self all the while never comfortable in their own skin, for them life is a beauty pageant they wish they never entered. Teenage boys raised in isolation because Dad must put in the hours at work to both provide for the suburban expectations and to prove his own worth he never received during his growing up years. These teenage boys have access to countless hours of leisure and believe the lies of porn that the world is about them and their consumption. Mom is just trying to hold it together, all the while feeling like a slave to obligations and wonders if she will ever recover her freedom to think, feel and be loved. The homes are built for individual space, they are cocoons of privacy. The garage door goes up, the car goes in, the door shuts. This is about private possession, there is no shared story with a larger community. They all started out with the American dream, many have only found that it's the white picket fence they erected that keeps them from the life of meaning they once longed for. They have bought the lies and they were more than not true, they were expensive.

How do they cope? It's not the adhesive sniffing of la limonada, they medicate differently in their addictions. Entertainment, amusement, escape, consumerism, prescriptions, drink, sexual appetites, achievements, promotions, status upgrades, vehicles, toys, trophy kids, secret lives, gaming, watching, dvr'ing, playing, competing, the next vacation, the next thing, the next magic pill, cutting, buying, lying, keeping busy, credit card debt etc. etc.

These people are my people, they are me. They are lonely, they lack meaning, they are broken . . . this is suburban destitution. We are lonely, we lack meaning, we are broken . . . we are destitute. This is my ghetto. May I be faithful in service here, may I find a voice to tell an alternative story.

A Big Thank You!

2011-04-02T10:29:00.003-04:00

Just wanted to say Thanks to everyone who came out to The Underground last night. It really meant a lot to me that so many folks showed up. We definitely had the biggest turnout of fans, and that didnt surprise me b/c I know you guys, and I know how much you love the Lord and support us. I hope each of you had a great time.

I do want to also apologize to you guys. I wasnt aware that we would be playing so late. I honestly thought we'd be playing much earlier. It was completely out of my control, I have nothing to do with setting the bands and all that. I realize that a lot of you had to pay babysitters to watch your kids and get to other things. While the opening bands were great, I do personally believe that there were too many bands playing last night. I know for me personally I felt very rushed, knowing in the back of my head that some of you had been there for 3 hours already waiting for us to play. I can assure you that if we ever play at The Underground again, this will not happen. I will make sure of that. So again, Im sorry about the long wait.

But, I also dont want that to take away from the night we had. Its important for us to get this message out. Its got to be something that we cant contain, we cant keep in. Thats why I play at events like this and want to play at more events like this. Because I DO believe we can see revival take place in this city.

Please stay tuned on this blog...we've got some cool things in the pipeline, including the release of the album that Im very excited about. Also, if you're interested, Im playing a House Show in May. I'll be playing all the songs on the album with just an acoustic guitar in a living room full of people. It'll be a fun night!!

The Underground on April 1st

2011-03-16T15:30:00.001-04:00

Im really looking forward to playing at The Underground here in Cincinnati on April 1. The Underground is kind of like the premier Christian venue here in the city, with state of the art lighting and sound. Im very thankful for this opportunity. We are having a night of worship. Basically this means that we'll be playing a few of the songs that I've written, but mostly playing worship songs that people will know. This will definitely be an event that you can feel "safe" about inviting your friends and family to.

One of the things Im most excited about is that there will be a lot of friends from my Rivers Crossing family, but also a lot of other people from different churches and so forth. There are a couple different youth groups coming that I know of which is great. Im looking forward to it.

Unfortunately I wont have the new album available on April 1st, however, we'll have some other cool things like new t-shirts that are pretty sick thanks to James Bailey Designs. The one thing you'll really want to do is sign up for my mailing list. This is the absolute best way to ensure you are up to speed on the album releasing as well as any other cool info. I'll send out newsletters during the month -- I promise not to bug you with a ton of emails. You can sign up for this list over on the right hand side of this blog.

2011-03-07T11:06:00.001-05:00

I've had custom in ears for the last several years. I used to hate wearing the generic ones that would always fall out of my ears, and they definitely dont sound as good in my opinion, etc. The ones I had werent super nice. In fact, the driver busted in one of the ears and actually they began not fitting very snug in my ears. Little did I know that your ears actually grow. Weird. So I've been wanting to get another pair of In ears and I decided recently to go ahead and make the appointment get molds made.

The process of getting these molds is pretty crazy. They basically squirt this goo in both ears and wait until it hardens and a mold is formed. The lady was not lying when she told me, "You wont be able to hear anything for a while when these molds are in your ears." Talk about a weird sensation. Lord, thank you for the ability to hear...something I take for granted all the time. Dang.

I had narrowed the decision down to two companies who made In Ear Monitors. Westone vs. Fidelity (My first pair of in ears were Fidelities). I knew that Westone's were a little more pricey, but I also know the great reputation and "branding" that Westone has in the music industry. Fidelity is also a good company, I believe.

Here was the main factor in my decision......Twitter. I posted a tweet about how I was faced with the decision, Westone VS. Fidelity. Literally within an hour the folks at Westone (@westonemusic) were tweeting back and forth with me asking about what In Ears I was looking at getting. This really impressed me. Then, we switched over to DM (Direct Messages) and ended up going back and forth for a couple hours. They literally were answering every question I had instantly. Im a sucker for great customer service. And literally that was the deciding factor for me. I know that the product Im going to get in two weeks will be amazing too, I've heard incredible things about Westone and Im looking forward to using them when I lead worship every week.

Thanks Westone!

Using Ableton Live for Click

2011-02-23T12:20:00.001-05:00

A quick little video that James B. and I made showing how we use Ableton Live to run our clicks at Rivers Crossing. Hopefully it provides some decent information that can be useful in your ministry.

Wrapping up the Process

2011-02-21T10:51:00.002-05:00

We concluded the week of recording on Friday and I was able to make it home on Friday night. We finished up vocals on every song except one. We decided to sit on it for a while. The music portion of the song turned out really well and the lyrics that I had once written for this song just did not really fit anymore. And I was completely fine with that. So, more than likely I'll head back down in a few weeks to record vocals on that song, and also do any overdubs that need to be done.

I've been asked if there is a favorite song on this album. I cant really answer that right now. I mean all of these songs turned out better than I could've ever imagined and the musicians who played on this album brought it everyday, Im still really just in awe of the entire process and how amazing that was. Im sure that as I begin just thinking through the songs and when I begin listening to the mixes when they come in, I'll be able to think of a song that resonates with me more than the others. But as of now, Im crazy excited about every song and cant wait for you guys to hear them.

If you're looking to do an album, I would say look no further than Bright City Studios and Joel Khouri and Joel Willis. Amazing. I cannot say enough good things about those guys and the entire Bright City crew.

Stay tuned folks.....Be sure to join the Facebook Page over there on the right column of the blog. There you will be updated regularly. Also, I'd love your help in sharing with your friends on Facebook and any other avenue.

Studio Update - Winding Down

2011-02-17T09:18:00.000-05:00

The week is winding down. Its kind of a bummer. I've really really enjoyed my time here in Charlotte and at Gat3 Studios. The people have just been so incredible to work with and hang out with. Im really just trying to take it all in. We've finished up electric guitars and they sound so good. Joel Willis really brought it. I mean he was really just dialed in. He's also a really cool guy and its been great working with him. Joel Khouri is the best producer out there man. He picked incredible musicians to play on this record and his vision for this album continues to amaze me.

The next two days consists of tidying up a few parts, and a heavy load of vocals. So be in prayer for us. Pray that the Lord would give us strength as we end the week. That we'd have more energy these last two days than we had the first two days of the process a week or so ago.

Check out the video below.

Studio Update - Week 2

2011-02-14T21:19:00.000-05:00

We began a new week today at the studio. Today we tracked in the B Room at Gat3 Studios. I really like this room. We started tracking electric guitars. Its really cool how these songs are beginning to come more and more alive with every piece we add. Joel Willis is playing electric on this album. He's a really cool guy and really talented musician. The dude knows his stuff. He plays at Elevation Church and also works at Bright City Studios with Joel Khouri. He used a few different guitars. He had a tele and a Gibson which seemed to be his main guitars. We used a Vox AC30 and a Matchless amp. The tone was pretty rad. The Matchless Amp is sick.

After electrics we did vocals for a couple songs. Again, add another reason to the many that I love working with Joel. He really pushed me and brought the best out of me.

Today we worked on two of the cover songs Im doing. Your Cross Has Saved Us by Elevation Worship and Awakening by Mark Mathis.

Oh yea, I woke up this morning and had an email from Ed Cash (Producer) just encouraging me in this recording process and reminding me to get lost in His presence as we sing and play on this record. It was pretty cool of him to take the time to write me. Thanks Jeff and Sara!!!

Day 4 and 5 at the Studio!

2011-02-12T20:36:00.000-05:00

On Thursday and Friday of this week we tracked acoustic guitars at a studio called The Bishop Stove Studios. This place was really cool and some great vibe. We were able to get some great sounds from the acoustic. Im still using the Larrivee I bought several years ago and it continues to provide a great sound/tone. Leo was the guy who ran this studio and he was a super cool guy. I got a chance to hang out with him at The Common Market on Thursday night and got to know him a little better. This all took place while Joel (producer) was DJ'ing at the Common Market. I had a great time on Thursday meeting new people. There is definitely a community here of musicians and friends.

So we've got the drums, bass, and most of the acoustic tracked. Starting Monday, we'll be doing Electric Guitars and Vocals. Cant wait. My time here is flying by but it really is a dream come true to be able to do something like this. Im very thankful for the opportunity.

Studio Update - Day Three

2011-02-10T10:51:00.001-05:00

Im still soaking in the fact that the day has actually come that we are tracking these songs. This morning Im doing that soaking in Panera Bread with a wonderful cup of coffee.

Day 3 (Wednesday) was a great day as we completed tracking Drums and Bass for all the songs. Jacob Arnold and Jon Duke really just nailed it and knocked it all out in three days. The thing that really impressed me with these guys is how attentive to detail they were. You see, I dont claim by any means to be some mega-worship leader who is known by the entire world, yet these guys brought it every time we hit the record button in Pro Tools. If something wasn't right, they didnt settle...they kept going until it was right. This really meant a lot to me. I just really enjoyed working with Jacob and Jon and now I understand why musicians/worship leaders want these guys to be playing in their band.

I was really excited about today because my good friend, and the person I consider to be a mentor, David Walker came by the studio. David really invested a lot into me the last couple years I was in Greenville...before we moved to Cincinnati. And the things he taught me, as well as how he lead me by example...still stick with me even today. We are also tracking a song that he wrote on the album called Oh the Blood...which Im super excited for you guys to hear. If you are ever in need of having a band come lead worship for your youth or church or whatever, David needs to be the first guy you contact. Trust me. His music is anointed.

Lastly, I'll tell you about a Holy Spirit moment I had later in the day. Joel Khouri, my producer, wanted to track some piano parts using their sick grand piano they had at the studio. As he played on some of the slower songs, I honestly had to fight back tears (well, more like a mist) at this moment he was creating on the album. I love rocking it out, I love cranking songs up and just going for it...but I also enjoy those moments where you can just sit, soak, think, worship....and the Lord allowed us to create some of those moments on this album. I think you'll really enjoy these moments. Its a time where you are allowed to sing your own song to the Lord, where we just play on the album, and you get that time to yourself with the Lord.

You'll see what I mean soon enough.

Love you guys and thanks so much for all the love and support you have shown.

Studio Update - Day Two

2011-02-08T18:23:00.000-05:00

Get Stoked. The record is sounding really good and each day that passes I become more and more excited to share this music with you. Today we really got moving with drums. Jacob came in and was nails. I think he did 5 songs total today which is great. Right now Jon is here in the studio playing bass. We are working on song called Strong Tower that Joel Khouri wrote. Really digging this song and I think you guys will to.

Again Im amazed at how epic this coffeemaker is here at Gat3Studios. Its almost like an espresso machine but its not (at least I dont think so). Its weird like that, but so awesome.

A couple of my prayers for this project: The the Lord would be glorified in every aspect of this recording and that the Church would be encouraged, blessed, and ministered to through this project. I definitely covet your prayers too.

Keep coming back to the blog and to my facebook page (which I'd love for you be a fan of (or simply hit that beautiful "LIKE" button) for pics and videos.

Studio Update - Day One

2011-02-07T23:11:00.001-05:00

I arrived in Charlotte last night. Just in time for the "wonderful" halftime show. Yea....

Today we began tracking for the new album. Im was very stoked about how these songs turned out in our pre-production, so it was really cool to begin laying down the actual tracks. We're really going to working hard over the next couple weeks on this album. Today was a 12 hour day. We knocked out drums and bass on a few songs. Jacob Arnold is playing drums on the album and he's just sick. Amazing drummer, and a really cool guy. He makes it look effortless and Im very excited that he's a part of this album. Jon Duke is playing bass. He is John Mark Mcmillan's bass player. Again, this is the first time I've met either of these guys and I loved their enthusiasm and energy that they brought to the table (besides the obvious talent).

The dude that really is going to be responsible for this album sounding amazing is Joel Khouri. He's producing this album and he's just an incredible person. I definitely feel as though the Lord brought us together for this project. Here is the thing...he gets the vision I have for this project and to me its priceless to be able to work with someone who gets that. And he's super passionate about music and pursues excellence in his work.

Im pretty tired, but very excited about the rest of the week. Peace.

Songs we worked on today included:
Glorious
Psalm 63 (not the final name)
Psalm 104 (not the final name)

2010-11-10T10:37:00.001-05:00

I recorded an album back in 2004, called Dialogue. I was thankful for the opportunity at the time and I do feel like it was a good representation of who I was then. That album is still available and will be on itunes soon. The Lord has put it on my heart more times than once over the last several years to record another album. However, the timing was never right. The Lord has been and is continuing to put recording another album on my heart. He has given me a new love for songwriting, a refreshing love. He's given me a heart for the local Church like I've never had before.

In June 2010 I set out on the journey of recording a new album, with new sounds. This was a great journey, however, in September 2010 a great door opened. The guys at Elevation Church recommended a guy named Joel Khouri to me to help me achieve the sounds I was going for and now.....Im beyond excited at the opportunity that has been given to me. In Feb. 2011 I'll be recording a full length album with the incredible Joel Khouri at Bright City Studios in Charlotte, NC. Check out Bright City HERE! I immediately connected with Joel the first time we talked on the phone. The dude has an incredible heart for ministry and I absolutely cannot wait to work on this album with him at Bright City.

So, in the Spring of 2011 I'll be releasing a fresh, new album with new songs for the local and Universal Church. Im praying huge, audacious prayers for this album. I want every word, every note played, every beat to be inspired by the Holy Spirit. I want there to be prophetic words and songs on this album and Im asking that Jesus be glorified in every single step of this process. I would covet your prayers as well.

I know blogs are kind of "old fashioned" now, but Im going to try and continue updating you guys on the progress. Im working on some song and gear tutorial videos right now that I'll be posting soon.

I'll be in the Charlotte area for a couple weeks in February. If by any chance you're looking for someone to come and lead at your church or ministry during that time...I'd love to be able to come help out. Just shoot me an email.

Wow. What a week. I've never traveled in my whole life more than I have this past week. In one week, I literally stepped foot in 9 different states. Craziness. Im so tired but at the same time Im so excited about this upcoming Sunday at Rivers Crossing. Its our 2 year Anniversary and we are going to celebrate. We're going to throw a party. Stats show that a majority of church plants never make it to two years, and so this week we are celebrating what the Lord has done and is doing at Rivers Crossing and we are going to beg him to continue releasing His spirit and favor on Rivers Crossing because we are nothing if we do not have God's hand over us.

This past Sunday Paul (Lead Pastor at Rivers Crossing) and I flew up to Chicago and went to see U2. Just an incredible concert. It was packed out. Probably 70,000 people. I took some pics with the iphone and some videos (Im uploading them, so look for that tomorrow). Then Monday morning we flew out to Oakland, CA and took part in a GHC Church Planting Cluster, then went to the Monday night Football Game in Oakland....then flew back today.

It made me realize how important it is to find the right people for your team. I love the team I get to work with. And hear me out, we work our tails off. But its so great that at the end of the day we can also hang out outside the walls of our office, whether it be with our families or whether it be something like this weekend where Paul and I got to hang out some. Its just a really positive thing, and helps build out team.

Anywho, here are some pics:

What were they thinking?

2009-09-01T09:51:00.005-04:00

This was my thought leading up to Sunday, August 23. However, I was thankful for the opportunity to share a little to our people at Rivers Crossing.

I spoke about Worship and Warfare. It was the last week in our series called Supernatural. I spoke from the passage in 2 Chron. 20 about Jehoshaphat. Long story short, when he heard he was being attack by an incredibly strong enemy, with great military might....he called his people to a fast, and he gathered them together and they worshipped. On the day of the battle, Jehoshaphat didnt send out soldiers, he sent out singers. The enemies couldnt stand these people worshipping the Lord and ended up killing themselves. When Jehoshaphat's people came up on the enemy, they saw that the enemy was completely wiped out.

Worship is Warfare. God goes to battle on our behalf when we worship.

If you'd like to hear the message, you can listen below or you can check it out at this link for Audio and Video: CLICK HERE. Paul, our pastor, is the one who is speaking first and from there on out we kind of did a co-teaching type of thing.

Started a new series this week called Titus. Pastor Paul is walking us through Church Leadership, and Eldership. I've never been more impressed with how eldership is handled than with Rivers Crossing. Seriously, its held very highly. If you're called to be an Elder, you have to go through a process of Pre-Eldership. This process includes reading and studying through Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology, and meeting twice a month. Most of our pre-elders have been in this process for over a year now. Its just incredible to me how this is treated.

2009-08-24T09:48:00.002-04:00

Today we concluded the Supernatural series at Rivers Crossing. This series was INCREDIBLE...to say the least. Today we talked about the topic of Singing as Warfare. Pastor Paul and our staff gave me an opportunity to speak yesterday, so Paul and I did sort of a tag team teaching thing. I thought it worked out well. We talked about the story in 2 Chronicles 20, with King Jehoshaphat and talked about Acts 16, with Paul and Silas in prison. Check out the podcast on our website or through itunes (www.riverscrossing.cc)

I've never seen our church sing and engage in worship more than yesterday. It was evident that the Spirit was moving freely in our midst and His presence was overwhelming. We had standing room only at our church yesterday. Literally we used up all the chairs we had and had folks standing along the back and side walls. We baptized 10 people yesterday, then had 2 more be baptized after the service. One of those 2 had accepted Christ that day, and she followed in obedience immediately. It was just incredible and really no amount of words on this blog will come close to explain what the Lord did yesterday. Just come and experience it for yourself.

Echo Conference

2009-06-03T09:19:00.003-04:00

As you can see, my name is on that list. I was one of ten winners of a FREE echo conference ticket. I won this by basically leaving a comment on their blog as to why I should get a ticket. I will show you my comment below.

Im so excited to be going to this conference. Im even more excited because our tech director Jos Hall and our graphics guy James will be getting to go too. I cant wait to see how this conference sparks our creativity. Worship and Creativity are one of our core values at Rivers Crossing.

So...um...Dallas, TX....are you ready for us?
