Looking back at Exponential

Posted on April 24, 2008 by catalystroadtrip

It’s one thing to take in amazing teaching and content in a short period of time (some call it trying to “drink from a fire hydrant”) but it’s quite another thing to try and meet and really connect, I mean really connect, with so many amazing men and women who are having profound influence on the front line of the church. It seemed like everywhere we turned we were shaking hands with someone significantly serving people in their community. Sure, some were well known people like Andy Stanley, Mark Batterson, and Ed Stetzer but we had the chance to meet SOOO many others that shared stories of their experience as church planters and pioneers in the church. Reality is there is an undercurrent of men and women that are not seeking to build a building but are seeking to love others and build the Kingdom of God through a selfless and foolish outpouring of genuine love…these are people that are truly motivated to be church and not do church.

Chad Johnson, Dwayne Melton, and LV Hanson spent time at the Catalyst Vanagon meeting many attendees from the conference while Brad Lomenick had a the opportunity to interview several key leaders and conference speakers for the Catalyst Podcast - stay tuned in to upcoming Catalyst Podcasts for more insight on the backstage happenings from Exponential!

The Catalyst Road Trip Team makes their way back to Atlanta tomorrow morning to get ready for The Orange Conference in Duluth, GA next week. Those of you in Atlanta that are following the Catalyst Road Trip, please get in touch with us to let us know if you would be interested in having a visit from Your Friendly Vanagon Vagabonds…and if you’d rather just take a picture with the Vanagon and ignore the smelly drivers then we can arrange that as well! :) The Catalyst Vanagon is coming home for several weeks.

More content from past road trips are still in the works. We haven’t forgotten!

Your Friendly (and sunburned) Catalyst Road Trip Team

    Hey dude

    Great meeting you yesterday. As promised, here is Charlie’s website. You can follow us as we take our most current road trip around the Southeast. Let’s hook up at Catalyst this year.

    Am I having Vangagon withdrawals?!?! Am I ever…ha! :D

    Excited to hear about more of what God’s been doing through people all across the country! There’s an “undercurrent” building indeed!

    And oh, tell the Vanagon that I said hello.
