The second day was by far the best of the two. Part of it may have something to do with not having broken the 24 hour mark without sleep. But the main thing was the sessions by Mark Driscoll out of Seattle (contrary to common rumor I do not have a man crush on him) and Ed Stetzer whose book Comeback Churches I have been blogging about.
Driscoll is extremely likable. He's smart, funny and loves UFC. He really challenged us to love our families and to especially listen to our wives.
He threatened to punch anyone in the throat that was mistreating their wife and/or kick them below the belt (he put it far more eloquently).
Stetzer dealt with making the God of Missions the Mission itself. Old preachers used to talk about wanting the gifts more than the Giver. Stetzer was addressing wanting the Mission more than the Sender.
Their Q & A at the end was worth the 9 hour drive alone. Rather than try to recall it here it should be online @ the Resurgence Website in the near future.
I'll add more as I reflect back on the 2 days in Raleigh.
