Book of the Month
I received this book at Catalyst this month. Seth Godin (the author) GAVE away over 12,000 copies before it’s release date to everyone who sat in on his session.
It’s a very edgy leadership book that encourages you to challenge the “status quo” and to never resist change. There’s a lot of great material in this book. I recommend it for anybody out there who is questioning whether or not they have the ability to lead.
God Is Speaking…
Leadership assignments aside, this book is awesome! I feel like God is speaking directly to me through this book. And it sounds like it’s having a similar effect on many others who are reading or have read it.
I know we are suppose to have it done by this Sunday, but even if you’ve yet to start it… go pick it up. I think it’s a timely word for us as the church.

Books Why haven’t I been blogging at all lately? Mostly because of this book. This book has been the rise of my productivity… but the fall of my blogging creativity. It’s a great book by David Allen whom Fast Company has also deemed as “The personal productivity guru.” It’s called “Getting Things Done” – the art of stress free productivity… which in and of itself is quite a feat to be accomplished. 
So anyway, that’s the update. BTW, I feel like I’ve posted a blog about this book already? Possibly because it’s so long overdue…
The Dangerous Act of Worship
I don’t want to curse my chances of finishing this book by blogging about it mid-read… but it’s been too good to wait.
As I grow more and more as a worshiper and get more revelation of what true worship really is… I begin to understand how little it has to do with me.
When I use to hear people tell me to “make worship your life,” I thought that meant that I needed to be singing songs about God every chance I had. Not the case. Don’t get me wrong, music is a part of worship and me being the “Worship Paster” at The Rock DOES mean that I need to make sure I know how to get into God’s presence via music fairly efficiently and on a regular basis.
But what I’ve come to learn more-so is that worship IS the life. We are created as worshipers and do it naturally quite well. Here are a few good examples.
Worship is how we live our lives. What consumes us. What is always on our minds. And there is no worship without selflessness, justice and loving your neighbor.
Worship has never been about us, how it makes US feel or what WE get out of it. It’s about praising God with reckless abandon. It’s about the least of these finding God and meeting Him through us.
What will it take to put God on the top of our list?
PoP!

This is the leadership book for the month of June. It’s amazing. I can actually read and get something out of it in a room full of talking people. That says enough for somebody like me.
HI-YA!

So I’m reading this new book by Mike Foster and Jud Wilhite called “DEADLY VIPER character assassins.” I know… another book that I won’t finish. NOT SO! This one is full of pictures and illustrations sure to keep me reading! It’s only 160 pages (give or take) but should be cut in half due to all the pictures. It’s been known to be pretty good. Apparently it will be covering topics like the importance of accountability and how to maximize my character as a Christ follower. PUMPED!
