Sober Truth

I'm at the Creative Infusion conference right now. Craig Gross from XXXchurch.com is on the stage right now with Donnie the former porn producer. Donnie is a pastor's son. He just said this "I experienced God's presence more in the porn industry than I did all the years raised in the church being surrounded by Christians."

CHURCH...ARE YOU LISTENING? Are we listening.

Amazing story that's still unfolding. Donnie has left porn and asked God into his life. He still has issues with Christians...

Hey Kem. Totally off subject, but have you read God's Blogs by Lanny Donoho? It's so creative, so well thought out. I think you'd enjoy the heck out of it.

G'day from down-under!
Kem I was about to say that I recommend Craig's book "The Gutter" when I saw that you had it listed in your recommended reading.
I would love to have been there for the interview - do you know if it was recorded or will be available for online viewing?

I wish I knew you were at the conference Kem, would have loved to meet you in person...guess I'll have to wait for ministryCOM!

That interview really was something, it told the story of the process of deliverance and transformation so well. The quote you gave from him reminds me of conversations I've had with people about how the bar fulfills the gospel better than the church sometimes. The door is always open, a chair always waiting for you and somebody will always ask what you're looking for.

Our arms should open so much wider, but first I guess we need to set a few things down.
