Catalyst Recap #6

October 16, 2009 in Blog with 1 Comment

This is Amena Brown.
As they opened the session, she performed a spoken word piece that was so engaging- you could have heard a pin drop in a venue of 13,000+ people.
It’s people who grab a hold of the arts like this that encourage me to continue to pursue innovative and exciting ways to communicate God’s message of grace and love.
Here’s a pic of Amena performing at Catalyst…

As the church, I don’t think we need more “shows.”
We don’t need more rockstar worship leaders or paparazzi-seeking teachers & preachers.
We don’t need more tech, lights, sound, digital loops, or clever series set designs.

We simply need a voice.
A voice that is surrendered to God.
A voice that is connected to God’s heart and mission.
A voice that is truly courageous.
When we have that kind of voice…

The gates of hell will tremble as words roll off your tongue.

    Wow, she's amazing.

    I missed this at Catalyst, but caught her second performance.

    Amena also spoke (with The Remnant) at my church, Courageous (Shaun King, pastor) two weeks running…once in our sanctuary and the 2nd time at our hopeATL rally for Atlanta flood victims.

    She is truly something else. I could seriously listen to her all day long.
