Unleash 2007 at NewSpring
One of the things that I love about our team is our teachability factor. It's evident to me that we all value intentionally surrounding ourselves with people who are further along on the journey than we are. Personally, I just feel downright lucky to be surrounded by a bunch of friends who are doing what I'm doing - but way better!
One of those friends is Perry Noble. Perry is the Senior Pastor of NewSpring Church in Anderson, South Carolina. (a.k.a. - The Land of No Starbucks...)
On a side (A.D.D.) note...
I've grown up around churchianity my ENTIRE life and have known a LOT of pastors - of small churches AND big churches. And let me tell you how rare it is to find a guy like Perry who pastors a booming church that is reaching thousands of people each weekend, yet who maintains such a strong level of humility and authenticity.
Man, it is sooooo refreshing! And that's why Perry is a guy that I want to be around and learn from. And it's also why I'm excited about Unleash 2007 - NewSpring's first ever conference for pastors and church leaders.
Unleash is going to be a one day conference happening on Thursday, March 15th at NewSpring Church in Anderson, South Carolina. And here's the best part... It's only FORTY FIVE FREAKIN' DOLLARS! $45! You can't even take Perry to Starbucks for that price!
And here's the deal... This is not about trying to turn your church into a "NewSpring" clone. In fact, you're lame if you even try to do that! BUT, there are some things that God has taught the NewSpring team that we can ALL learn from and apply to some degree in our unique and distinct settings.
Anyway... I'm excited about it and am going to do whatever I can to be there. (Even though there is no Starbucks in Anderson...)

Would a Starbucks drink holder be considered carry on luggage? Perhaps it would be in violation of the liquids restrictions. Better drive it out there.
