Just Returned from Washington D.C.

Our team just returned from a great event in Washington DC. A lot was crammed into a short trip. Two of our producers spent time with Todd Phillips of Frontline Church shooting some video pieces that teach on the life of Joshua. We took a fresh approach and connected parts of Joshua's life to things we are all familiar with like Lincoln's involvement in the Civil War, Washington's role as leader during the Revolutionary War, Arlington Cemetery and other well-known historical events.

Leadnow and Fusion were also great. I never imagined that the Rightnow Campaign would be producing events ... but this is our sixth one! I think what I love about events is getting people together where they can talk face-to-face and process through issues. I am learning to be more intentional about building relationships and not just being task driven. It was fun to interact more with our speakers and the attendees from the event. We had a fun little dinner on Friday night with just the speakers and it was a great time to remind them about the heart of the Rightnow Campaign and then just to laugh together.

Here's a pic we took hanging out backstage. Marc, me, Donald Miller, Lonnie (from the Rightnow team), Mark Batterson, Dan Kimball, Amena Brown sitting on Margaret Feinberg and Cliff Young from Caedmon's Call .
