Everyone loves a good message slip-up. Just ask our Nashville campus Pastor, Blake Bergstrom, who may never live his down. And just in case you’re the only person in America who hasn’t seen it please enjoy THIS.
Several years ago when we were still meeting in Gower Elementary school I had one of my most embarrassing slip-ups. If you were around in those days you’ll remember it wasn’t that uncommon to see a large cockroach scurrying across the cafeteria floor. In one particular message I was trying to tell our community just how proud I was of them. I was trying to say that I’m so proud to be a part of a church that can worship in the midst of a cockroach infested room. However….I forgot to add “roach” to the word cockroach and a very intimate moment become a very inappropriate moment. You’ve got to love being human.
Now hang with me because I’m actually going somewhere with this…I promise.
We are so excited to be hosting Tony Morgan’s “Killing Cockroaches” tour here in Nashville on July 17th. If you don’t know Tony let me take a second to introduce him to you.
Tony Morgan is a strategist, coach, writer, speaker and consultant who equips leaders and churches to impact their communities for Christ. More important, he has a passion for the local church. He’s all about helping people meet Jesus and take steps in their faith.
For more than 10 years, Tony served on the senior leadership teams at NewSpring Church (Anderson, SC) and Granger Community Church (Granger, IN). With Tim Stevens, Tony has co-authored Simply Strategic Stuff, Simply Strategic Volunteers and Simply Strategic Growth–each of which offers valuable, practical solutions for different aspects of church ministry. His newest book, Killing Cockroaches (B&H Publishing), was released in 2009.
Tony has one of the most brilliant, strategic minds I’ve ever been around. I’ve learned a ton from this guy just reading his blog. If you’re on church staff, or even a volunteer who would like to know how to better be used to impact your community for Christ than you’ve got to be a part of this day.
