One year from today marks the beginning of what some are saying could be the beginning of the next major movement within the body of Christ.  Only God knows.

But what I do know is this: D6 is Gods message.  Not the message of a publisher, not an organization, an author, or a speaker.  He gave this gift to mankind in the form of words. Words that were written and passed down.  My prayer is that this event that we call The D6 Conference will be the catalyst or the spark that ignites a movement of leaders investing in parents, who will invest in their kids at home, in the van, at bed time, and on the way to school. 

Love God passionately. Know and obey His word. Teach it to your kids.  That’s what D6 is all about. 

365 days and counting.

Quite vividly, I can remember the day my dad walked out.  With dress shirts on clothes hangers, he marched down the hallway talking in a loud voice.  My brother was reading me a Golden Book as a distraction…something Disney it seems.

Another time I can remember being twelve sitting in the car with my Mom at a traffic light at the corner of South Lafountain and Hwy 31 in tears because I wanted to spend the night at a friends house for his birthday party.  The catch – it was “my dad’s weekend.”  This meant that if I were to go to the party, I would have to tell my dad, whom I only got to see every other weekend, that I wasn’t coming until Saturday.  Pressure.

It is through that lens that I viewed my experience today at Focus On The Family.  Humbling, to be sure. I am experiencing a flood of emotions this afternoon.

As we walked into Jim Daly’s office, it seemed strangely normal, yet at the same time my mind could not quite compute that we were meeting with the President and the cabinet of this benchmark, influential organization that I have admired for twenty years. Read the rest of this entry »

A lot actually.  We are spinning a lot of plates these days, but each plate is jam packed with a nutritious, tasty meal.  We have been eating our Wheaties lately just to keep up.

Now that we have nailed down our location for the venue, we are now forging ahead on a few final speakers and a worship leader.  It will be fun to release those names as the months roll on.

We are also working hard on the D6conference.com web site.  What is currently up, although helpful info, is not the final…just temp.  We plan to have the full site up by mid October.  In addition to that, our third party registration vendor is working on our registration model.  I look forward to taking a look at that and ensuring that the registration process will go smoothly.  Another item we are working on is the final promo video.  We should have that by sometime in October as well.

Splink is running, but the eblasts have not begun yet.  We are set to begin launching those via email next Tuesday.

Another new site we are launching, CLEARmagazines.com is about 60% developed and will be ready to launch in about 3 weeks.  It looks fantastic!  Can’t wait for this to be fully running.

A lot going on, but it’s all good stuff.  Back to work!
