NEW Bible Study


Started a new Bible Study with a couple of students last night who wanted to pursue a deeper understanding of scripture beyond what they felt our current Bible Studies do. Personally, I love the desire they have to dig deep in the scripture and hope to show them that it's not as hard as one might think to do. Maybe one day they will be leading a similar type of study on campus, for their local church or in their families down the line.

The Last Rehersal

Thank you all for your prayers! The last rehersal for Urbana went extremely well if not extremely busy. We were finally able to practice in a place (thanks to Grace church in STL) where we could hear each other through a sound system. There are 11 people on the team so if we are all just crammed in a room with no equipment to balance vocals against say drums and bass then it is impossible to tell who is doing what at times.

Personally while I don't feel ready for Urbana just yet - I don't think it's impossible for me to feel ready by the time we get there. What also helped to prepare me this past weekend was playing for Grace church (around 6000 attenders). Here are some audio samples of what we did from my friend's MD Recorder. You might need to turn the Bass down on your stereos (the EQ on the recording is funny).

Blessings!
