Just got home from the Tennessee Assemblies of God District Council in Murfreesboro, TN.   Superintendent JR Gould and his team put together an outstanding line-up of speakers that featured Dave Ramsey, RT Kendall, Ed Stetzer and John Lindell.   I think this line up reflects a huge desire in the District leadership to be relevant and inspire churches to grow.  This event has come a long way in the last thirteen years I have attended.

I hated missing the service tonight at CIL – I actually got very sad around 6:15.  However, I had the huge honor of introducing John Lindell before he spoke tonight.  I had never met Pastor John before tonight, but I have admired his church and ministry for years.  He was a very kind and humble man.

I always leave District Council with respect for my fellow pastors’ and their families who are leading congregations in Tennessee.  They are a group of faithful people, who love God and their churches.
