radio--coffee--booking november--the GLW

long post this afternoon.

today I was the GLW (guest lead worshipper) at genesis church. the term GLW is sadly funny because this particular church actually had to come up with the acronym (initials?) since they have somebody different lead worship every single sunday. it's a pretty well established church with a staff worship pastor who is currently on sebatical. he's playing lead guitar with a worship band for a youth ministry tour across the US - one that features David Crowder as a headliner. not a bad gig.

worship was good today. played with a girl drummer who rocked (you go Sarah!). we Pete Yorn-ified "blessed be your name" - made it sound more like the song "black."

i've had so much coffee this week. mostly meeting with leaders of local college ministries. had some great conversations about PoMo evangelism with other thinkers, with some more modern evangelists, and with leaders who seemed open, but had never heard of post-modernism before. a very cool benefit of getting out there and trying to lead worship for different groups is having the chance to talk straight about all the different approaches to evangelism in our culture.

or maybe it's the other way around.... maybe the point is for me to establish these relationships and talk about unifying our approach to campus/students/post-moderns; to simply fellowship with other leaders. and in the end, to make leading worship a happy by-product of those relationships.

more worship gigs seem to keep coming (check 'em out on the calendar section of my website). but they're all in october. i can't quite seem to book a worship gig between november 7 and the end of the year. if you're listening Jesus, it might be cool to lead a few people in worship during nov and dec. thanks guy.

finally, my radio interview was this week. they played a few songs, asked me a few questions, and - whoosh - it was over. Jodi says i did well. I felt like a total moron. it's great how, after an interview like that, in your own mind, you were the wittiest, quickest, funniest guy around. but in reality, you're only rehearsing the comebacks you should've had - not the boring ones that actually came out of your mouth.
