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.”

That is too weird that you get sick when you go to Nashville. Hope you don't ever think of moving there...
