Wifi was severely limited Limited at the conference so no live blogging – plus I didn’t bring my laptop around with me for the first time in my life… the iPod touch did just fine.

This isn’t really a recap, I can’t sum up my thoughts well at the moment, other than it was very good.

Two images that stuck with me… below is the bucket of cash collected for a pastor who was fired in the middle of the conference – just for attending it.

This is a biking video that was shown that I think depicts the beauty that can be created with just about any art-form taken seriously, including preaching.

Poets, Prophets, & Preachers

by Lon on June 30, 2009

A seminar for teachers, preachers, speakers, leaders and pastors serious about reclaiming the art of the sermon.

I’m really not big on conferences at all.  But I’ll be at this one.

I’ve got someone looking to share half a ticket with (one registration gets two people in). Let me know ASAP if you’ve got one or know of someone with one.

My cheap cell phone plan doesn’t work in the States – but I’ll try to get some online access if possible.  Contact or twitter me if you’re in the area.  Would love to connect with some real people while I’m there.

Here’s a taste of what’s on the schedule:

The Original Guerilla Theatre (Rob Bell)
The Story We’re Telling (Rob Bell)
Returning to the New: An Introduction to Tranformance Art (Peter Rollins)
How Technology Shapes the Sermon (Shane Hipps)
The Fig and the Failure of Language (Rob Bell)
Fumbling Around with Your Radar (Rob Bell)
For Those With Ears to Hear: Parables and the Lost Art of Provocation (Peter Rollins)
You are the Medium (Shane Hipps)
The One Thing I’ve Never Heard Someone Talk About That Has Changed Everything For Me (Rob Bell)

Update: I think our ticket situation is taken care of thanks to the glory of twitter.  You can also follow the twitter hashtag #ppp09 to follow along as well.

Questions I’ve been asking…

by Lon on April 9, 2008

Some random questions recently on my mind…

- What’s the deal with hard-covered books?

- How do I pray for daily bread, when I’ve got over a week’s worth in my kitchen?

- Why can’t the government do my taxes for me?

- When will Hillary finally quit?

- Who’s gonna ride your wild horses?

- What would pastors do if they weren’t allowed to speak on Sundays?

- What do homeless people think of me?

- Why do they tell us x-rays are harmless and make us put on those heavy vests?

- Jesus seemed like a fairly earthy guy. What technologies would he be using today?
