I’ve been at a conference in Atlanta for the last few days. God used this time to stretch me in all kind of ways, but there was a quote in the last session that Andy Stanley borrowed from Craig Groeschel which really got me thinking.
“To reach people no one else is reaching, we must do things no one else is doing”
I will be unpacking this for the next few days. What I do know, is the church tends to be slow in taking risks when it comes to reaching people. The sad reality is some churches completely refuse to take any risks at all. And yet there is so much at stake.
Do you know whose not afraid to take risks? David Blaine.
Just read a crazy article that describes how David Blaine set a new world record for breath-holding on Wednesday, April 30, 2008, at 17 minutes and 4.4 seconds, during a live telecast of “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” in Chicago.
The article also states that the average person can hold their breath for two minutes. I thought we would hold our own little competition here at Without Wax. So, hold your breath, and time it. Leave your time in the comments and we’ll see who holds the record. Be honest and gooooooo! And yes, I guess you can play more than once.
