Bitter WiBo’ers?!?

Okay, so I am still collecting my thoughts from the WiBo sessions that myself and a few staff members went to (post on my thoughts coming soon), but I was reading Ben Arment’s blog and found a couple articles he linked to that kind of blew me away.

I find it amazing that people can walk away with such different perspectives. I know we all have different views on how to communicate God’s message of love and redemption, but I am not sure I could say the things these guys noted about the speakers. I respect their opinions as men of God… and I’n glad we are able to have the freedom to serve the way God has gifted us. Mine just happens to flow like honey in the video & tech form :)

The Fray said it best


“Everyone knows I’m in over my head, over my head.” Seriously. 

I love my job. I get to work with an amazing staff at Forefront and I learn TONS every single day, but when I go to conferences I feel like a guppy being taunted by the sharks and whales. I love soaking in all the ideas, thoughts and creativity… but it’s almost like I don’t belong. I don’t know all the “people” or “buzz names with their new ideas” and I turn into the exact opposite of the norm and shy away from talking to others. It’s bizarre.

WiBo is coming and it is very bitter sweet. I get to hear some amazing speakers, go to a great lunch with people I admire and read their blogs daily, and be encouraged with new ideas, thoughts, and ways to reach unchurched people… but I always shut down personality wise. I feel like (and maybe your like me) that they’ll “find me out” and be like “Hey, what’s that kid doing here?!” I’m not totally hip on the church world since coming from quite a different background, but I love these events and can’t wait to soak it in.

Let’s just pray I don’t click my Nikes together and try to zip back home when someone wants to chit chat.
