Wow! My head is already spinning! Stuart McAllister started the conference off by talking about the first “s” of the conference–self (the conference theme this year is “Creating Thriving Communities in a World of Self, Sex, State, and Stuff–focusing on 4 of the biggest idols we face).

Stuart gave some excellent quotes that I will share in later blogs and classes that dealt with love of self and closed with the solution –see Colossians 3:1-3!!

Then Timothy George talked and gave the story of Augustine’s conversion. Again, I will share more over the next several weeks.

To close out the evening we heard from Jim Liske and Prison Fellowship, Stephen Crooks and the wheelchair ministry (I loved hearing his story of how convicts are helping to refurbish wheelchairs and are in a way giving freedom to those who are given dignity and a new freedom of movement when they receive a new wheelchair.) Lastly, we heard from Curtis Hall and the “I am second” video ministry.

Whew! All that in just 2 hours!

This blog is really just to whet your appetite. I encourage you if interested to do some follow-up on the speakers and ministries to get more info.

I know I will!

More to come…
