Acquire the Fire Nashville

April 11 found 13 teens and adults from Tucker Street Church traveling to Nashville to attend Acquire the Fire. Due to illness, I was only able to attend Friday evening and Saturday evening. But those sessions were great, and sometimes “less is more” if you consider the alone-time I spent with God holed up in the hotel room.

Worship with Unhindered both nights was truly that: worship. Joel Johnson on Friday evening and Ron Luce on Saturday evening—“Are we not Dreamers? Be the dreamer-part of the 2% who influences the 98%-and through Christ change the world”—both brought challenging messages. But what spoke to me the most was Phil Joel’s message of how he and his wife Heather embarked on a one-year Bible reading plan, every morning connecting with the Lord in His Word, and how this has radically changed everything about their lives. I echo Phil Joel’s hope: “to see a growing community of like-minded believers who hunger for more spiritual depth through the renewing of their minds in the Word of God.”
