THEY'RE JUST KIDS

I've been reflecting a little more on the two days I spent in DC last week at that conference that was more than a little disappointing. So forgetting that part of it, I've been thinking about the guys I was hanging our with while I was there ... and they are some quality guys.

Greg Rohlinger's church in Arizona is barely five years old and they have around two thousand people. He had a bunch of his leaders in DC with him and it was great to see how they interact as a team.

Then there was the Georgia crowd - Tadd Grandstaff who is getting ready to plant a church down there; Ross Wiseman who started a couple of months ago and already has around 100 people (meeting in a movie theater of course); add to the mix my old buddies Tony McCollum and Gary Lamb and you have a passionate but insane group of church planters.

These guys are sold out to winning people for Jesus. They left both security and the status quo way behind and jumped into starting churches that would both be different and make a difference.

I love spending time with them - they question everything, they push the limits, they're out there, but they're getting the job done big time.

And they're all so young I could be their father!

They're inspiring, but I do wish they'd stop refering to me as "Old Man"!
