John Tibbs "Origins"

John Tibbs is a young man who was in our youth group. His brothers still are. Currently he's a college student and on staff as a worship pastor at a church in Anderson, Indiana. I've known John for 5 years now, have watched him grow as a person and a worship leader. This is his passion. And for such a young man, he's had some GREAT opportunities to lead thousands (literally) in worship - fantastic!

Yesterday his new album "Origins" released. This is a huge deal, as he and the band have been working for awhile now to record and produce a solid album. Now it's happened - and it's really good! It's only $7.92 over at iTunes right now. You should definitely check it out (and support my boy)! Click here to get it on iTunes!

UPDATE: He's already in the top 50 Christian albums on iTunes.

Lately

What's been going on for you lately?

For me, my son turns 1 month old tomorrow.
I'm going to Group in CO on Wednesday (PUMPED).
I've been wrestling through a lot of different thoughts about life, ministry, leadership and direction.
Finished some GREAT books: Christian Atheist and Axiom.
Reading Stuff Christians Like now (funny & sometimes too true).
Not sure what's coming, but trusting God with it.

That's some of what's been going on here.
So what's been going on for you lately?
The good, the bad, the easy, the hard, the fun, all of it.
What can I be praying for you?
Would love to hear what you have to share!

The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

I saw this video over at the Catalyst blog and thought it was really iteresting. Still trying to fully digest and wrap my head around the concepts in it, but I think there is definitely something to it all. The video is about a talk given by Daniel Pink - he's speaking at Catalyst East this year! Check it out and share any thoughts.
