New series finishing up with Clay Scroggins

This is a little late. See the promo.

Memorial Day morning

Man my kids are chipper this morning!
My beautiful wife let me sleep in on Saturday and she in today.
The kids are READY to go for the day and I am still trying to figure out how I made the coffee half asleep.
Today will be fun with the kids and then tonight Jiyoung and I are going to the Steve Miller and Joe Cocker concert. Should be fun!
What are you doing today?

New Red Robin Opened

I love it when new restaurants open close to our house.
Especially those that serve red meat!!

Good times.

Drive Highlights up!!

Ok folks…
I am still using the WordPress template free blogging deal so I can’t figure out how to post this flash video directly to my site BUT… here it is, DRIVE ‘08 Highlight video. (Click the flying plane once you get into the site!

I am so proud to be part of not just a great media team but such an amazing church. It was an honor to meet so many of you and I hope you all came away from the conference filled up and challenged from God.

We have some things already in store for Drive ‘09 so stay tuned!!

Planning Center via iPhone

I took tuesday off.
At 3 pm on tuesday – I knew what was going on in the morning meetings because of this little jewel.
If you don’t use planning center , its a must.

Transition Pete Strikes again

Pete took the best of Andy’s quotes at Drive (some quotes referenced from others) and put them in a VERY cool desktop design.
These are already on my desktop and rotating. For those that went to Drive, I hope these keep stirring your heart. For those of you that didn’t, go here and download these wallpapers onto your desktop and sit with them for a month or two.

Thanks Pete.

Words cannot even come close

Happy Mothers Day Jiyoung. Thank you for saying yes to me 10 years ago.
Your the best mom.

Micah Stevens and EVERYTHING North Point Production

Ok, so Hell has frozen over and Micah Stevens has a blog. It has actually been going on for about 2 months now but I think it is known only to a few. So, I am giving a shout out to Micah Stevens. If my team is everything video, creative packaging, product development, pre and post production for North Point’s services, then Micah’s team is EVERYTHING live. Audio, lights, stage design, technical, live video and problem solving multi-campuses. He is a stud, his team is a bunch of studs and he needs to be on your blogroll.
So there!

Sooooo Late with this

I got to hang with Transition Pete (thanks for the appetizers!) and then later with Pete and Jenni from Crosspointe church.
This was Monday night after the first main session at Drive. I am in Blue and white striped shirt, top left. You can’t see but my left hand is on Carlos’s butt. Yes from way up there. Thats why his eyes are so big.

Jake Got the Game Ball

No picture (yet)…
But just thought you should all know… my boy went 3-3 in his new baseball helmet ($20 nike supercool lid from Dick’s Sporting goods) and yes…. he killed it. Proud of him even when he was playing with his gum and a line drive went right by him in center field. Problem was that they didn’t let him wear his helmet out in the field.

Drive ‘08 Session 1 “after party”

After session 1 – Los, me and others are gonna meet for dinner, or desert, or coffee, or something!!
Who’s in. For those that said yes on Carlos’s blog, be a sport and say yes on mine too!

See ya TOMORROW!!!!

Brad

Michael Colwell – You will be missed.

“Saved by grace, married to the love of my life, father to two boys who keep me laughing, passionate about my job, beating cancer.”
That is what Michael wrote on his blog some time ago.

Last night at 11:50 pm, Michael went to be with the lord losing his battle with cancer.

Michael’s influence on North Point, those around him will be hard to measure. But it can be felt.
All I know that as a staff member that got to work with him, he made me smile and radiated Jesus. He loved his wife. He loved his kids.

Now, he’s loving being with Jesus.

Getting ready for DRIVE ‘08!!!!!

Ok Folks… we’re ready.
For those of you who are going… and I want to hear from each and every one of you, it’s gonna be incredible, fun, crazy, engaging, helpful, and out of this world!!

The whole staff has been working really hard to get ready for the arrival of over 2300 people for Drive.
One of the coolest parts is that we get to have ALL campuses involved with the production instead of meeting on Mondays and Tuesdays and then saying goodbye.
Here are many of the people on the production and media staff from all three campuses…

Josh and Katie Peters (from Buckhead). Katie is SPD assistant at Buckhead and Josh is the Video Director.

A shot of the stage, sorta. It’s wicked cool.
