A few weeks ago I made the trek to northwestern Arkansas for the The Sticks Middle America Conference. The Sticks conference is aimed at those who pastor churches in rural areas.

Catalyst – Day 1
Oct 9th
I’m exhausted so this will probably be quick. AWESOME DAY at Catalyst. Let me see if I can remember enough to give you a quick rundown. I may leave out some people. Hope not.

Catalyst Begins Today

We made it to Atlanta, actually Duluth, GA, last night, just a few miles from the Gwinnett Arena. This morning we’re headed to the opening session of the Catalyst Conference.
