Well our bi-annual 12 day national staff conference started a couple days ago. There’s a lot more people in Fort Collins now than there were last week. It’s a little overwhelming for sure. It’s a little information overload to go from the leadership track to 12 days of conference.
One of the first speakers was one that I was most motivated to hear – Donald Miller, author of Blue Like Jazz and a few other books. The point I most resonated with in his message was that truth can only be found in meaning. Or in another way, truth cannot be divorced from meaning. He spent most of his time talking about truth and meaning in the context of story, a narrative approach to life and the Scriptures. It’s a good message for our ministry to be exposed to and to wrestle with.
