Back to Michigan 2!

  It's the truth, I actually am back in Michigan.  Chardon and Mentor over the weekend.  Speak Monday night and get on the road straight away to get home for a huge meeting on Tuesday!  Leave Wednesday for ABQ to be at the Casting Crowns concert.  This is the tour where they are going to start advertising the Q&A events.  Speak at a church there on Wednesday night.  Hopefully I'll have some cool pictures next week!!

  Last week was a blur.  Got the bags finished for the concerts.  This is cool.  They are using Q&A bags to put material in to give to all the pastors and youth leaders.  The video they're showing was finished as well.  It looks awesome.  You should be able to see it by this Thursday at www.daretoask.org.  I'm excited about this site, it looks really good on paper.

  I know what some of your may be thinking about: "Dare To Ask"!  You're saying, "I get it, this will be a place we bring our friends to ask all of the hard questions and see if we can't stump the experts!"  Sorry, that's not the real motivation.  Yes, this is a site that will have answers to tough questions and will grow as answer even more of those questions as they come in.  But, that's not the primary purpose.

  My prayer is that we realize that we, the body of Christ, need to 'dare to ask' questions of those we run into in our world!  We need to engage this culture in real conversations about what truly is important so that we can earn the right to share the Gospel with them.  I call it, 'conversation evangelism'.

  Anyway, this is your last shot to give me some feedback on the Worldview Survey that will be spotlighted on daretoask.org  Please take it HERE and give me feedback.

  Also, started a new section on the website.  (That's why I've got the picture up above, it's the same one I put on this new section!)  It's a place that I send the folks that I run into on the road.  I will list their names and prayer requests there.  This is a great place for you to check out as well to know how to pray for some of the folks that I run into.  One of these days I'll hopefully figure out how we can also include some of the folks that you're running into.  At the moment my Facebook page would be a great place to put that info up and then I can take it from there and transfer it to this site.  Just a thought if you'd like to have some of your contacts listed for prayer.

  If we're truly going to have an impact on the culture we need a massive amount of prayer because only God can deal with the issues we're being confronted with.

  Anyway, I come back from ABQ on Friday to leave Saturday for, you guessed it, Michigan again!!!!  This time in Frankenmuth!  All I know is, God is good, all the time.

  Thanks for being a blessing to me and especially praying.  I sincerely need these prayers and appreciate them.  May the Lord richly bless you.  Stay bold!
