Unleash 2008 - Report Card

Regarding Perry Noble – Perry is none of the following: suave, urbane, predictable, warm, fuzzy, conventional, unarmed, boring, or detached. Perry is the following: focused, relevant, real, spicy, honest and vivacious. Perry is not perfect, but he understands that it isn’t about him. Does he know the Gospel? Does he preach the Gospel? Would I sit under his teaching? Yes, yes, and yes. I give Perry an A. (Perry, my Pastor needed that ending session, thank you!)

Regarding the breakout sessions – The morning session on blogging with Tony Morgan was excellent. I learned several things that can be applied immediately and I left with some ideas and things to investigate. I would suggest that blogging, communications, and community building could be expanded for Unleash 2009, done of course with Tony’s flamboyant style.

The afternoon session on music and production was, as far as I could tell, very good. I should have picked another breakout as this is not my forte. Our Sunrise worship leader was there and I believe it helped him.

The Home Groups session was overflowing and that’s probably where I needed to be. For next year the breakout sessions need to be structured a little better… perhaps an advanced signup so space and facilities can be adjusted. Overall, I give the breakout sessions a B+.

Worship music – I enjoyed the worship sessions, but NewSprings’ music is not really to my taste. Not being a music person it’s hard to describe exactly what it is that I don’t like. It may just be personal preference more than anything. Overall, I give the music a B-. However, putting my taste aside, the musicianship, production, spirit and attitude deserve an A.

NewSpring people (staff, volunteers, everyone I saw) – You guys rock.

Blogging live from UNLEASH!

Unleash! - what a rush! Many thanks to my friend and Pastor, Rod Chaney, for the invitation to this conference. The morning session was terrific… Perry Noble was on fire

I went to the blogging and communication breakout session with the ever flamboyant Tony Morgan. I picked up on several things that will be useful for me and Sunrise.

NewSpring folks have a great spirit. Hats off to them for hosting 2000 visitors. Nice job! -jw
