Finding a cabin to sleep 20 people is no easy task (ours slept 27) but we eventually found one for our School of Supernatural Life staff retreat this year complete with home theater (with tiered seating no less) and de rigueur hot tub. This is our fantastic team who are helping lead almost 70 students through SOSL and into incredible transformation.
It all kicks off, this Friday.

Last Sunday we got to commission three new pastors at Grace Center; Josh & Sarah Parsons and Michelle Wouters. We've walked with all three of these people for the last couple of years and have loved watching them inch toward God's plan for their lives one step at a time.
All three are great examples of people who've chosen to continue to say to yes to God, have blossomed where they are planted (which sometimes meant staying in jobs they hated) while demonstrating perseverance and humility.
We're really proud of them and are excited to have them join the team.
My good friend and awesome colleague, Aaron Bass is writing some killer stuff over at his new blog. His latest post, "5 Things I've Learned About Leadership" is a great example of how Aaron thinks. Aaron and his wife, Nat, are downright impressive folks.
