Under The Green Tree was amazing!
So much better than I could have ever imagined. The speakers were so great, and the interns even got to spend some time with them on breaks which was really fun. They shared some of their own personal stories and got to know the interns as well.
Steve Thompson and Loren Sandford each had truly profound messages that made every person in the congregation think hard about things they used to see as absolute truths, when in reality they needed to be re-examined and possibly even thrown out the window. They both broke a lot of boxes this weekend. It was great!
John Paul was amazing, as always. He had a great word on what it means to be a warrior, among other things, of course! We got to spend a whole lunch time with him, just JP and the interns. That was super fun because we all went around the table and got to share what was happening inside our hearts since coming to the internship. He is our spiritual father, and it was inexplicably awesome to get to spend time with him for a while and talk about where the internship is at. Then we also got to spend some impromptu time with him in the middle of the night on Friday. We all stayed up (some of us made it longer than others lol) till about 4am talking with John Paul and John Thomas (the pastor of the Metrowest Bridge). What an honor to be with them for so long, just talking like good friends would. It was such a blessing.
Now we are heading out to Connecticut to visit the River of Life Church in Tolland and the Wellspring Church in Berlin. We leave tomorrow afternoon! This trimester is going to be a busy one...lots of traveling. We love it though!
I'll get pics up from the conferences when we return...
Blessings!
