at Exponential last year."
SP-in-Waiting Don Patterson organized a bunch of WELS workers in 2008 to attend Exponential together. Soon Stetzer was booked for Church and Change in November of 2009.
Exponential 09 is in full swing now. My Facebook buddy Ed Stetzer is speaking there.
So is Craig Groeschel, Ski's favorite sermon writer. AND ALL KINDS OF NAMES ARE THERE THAT SKI AND THE ASSISTANT FOLLOW ON TWITTER....Batterson, Perry Noble, and more.
I was looking for the other battle-wagons of Church Growth, but the websty is a jumble.
I ran into The Story of Bruce. Motto - "They want to belong before they believe." So much for the Means of Grace, but as Valleskey claimed, Enthusiasts downplay the Means of Grace.
Willow Creek Association is there, offering a free two-year membership in WCA for new churches.
I think Harry Hagedorn should fly down there, if he hasn't already, and offer three years free in WELS. If the new mission is in the right place, like a theatre or mall, they won't know the difference anyway.

Willow Creek Association - Big Announcement
If you're planning on attending the Exponential Conference in Orlando this week (April 20-23), be sure to stop by the WCA table in the main lobby. This event will feature 3,000+ planting leaders gathered together in one place, but will also be the location of one of WCA's biggest announcements ever! Be sure to see us while you're there!
A doctor of divinity asked, "I wonder what the big announcement will be? John M Parlow to take over as new head of Willow Creek?"
