So Kristy and I left Greenlee with my mom while she was in town and took two new friends and fellow staff member at Resonate Petie and Brittany Kinder with us to a night of worship with Kim Walker.  I have written about Kim Walker a few times.  She is a worship pastor at Bethel Church in Redding, California.  The night of worship was at a new church plant called 1st Love Church .  This church plant was in Gig Harbor just outside of Seattle.  We worshiped for three hours and then had a time of prayer for the power and presence of the Lord to come like a tidal wave over the Pacific Northwest.  It was a great night.  If you have not heard of Kim Walker please go and get her CD's, it is amazing.  You can go to... BETHEL CHURCH , JESUS CULTURE, 

Set List: I Adore You (Chris Quilala ver.) Faithful (Steve Fee) How Great Is Our God / How Great Thou Art (Christ Tomlin) None But Jesus (Hillsong United) Hallelujah (Hillsong United) Nothing But The Blood (Charlie Hall ver.) Happy Day (Kristian Stanfill ver.) This weekend was an amazing weekend at Resonate.  We baptized or as one kids put it "bathtized" three people this weekend.  It was an amazing time of thankfulness and joy and excitement for the new life we have in Christ.  We celebrated the fact that we are a new creation in Him and that when we are baptized the old us is dead and the new creation in Christ is raised up with him.  It was an awesome day or celebration. 

So my favorite worship leader of all time release something amazing today.  It was a beautiful surprise to see on his blog today a Christmas song release.  This is actually a song I introduced to my old church last year because I heard him lead it at 7|22 a year ago.  So make sure you go and download this song it is amazing.  I am sure you will love it.

Set List: All We Need (Charlie Hall) Hosanna (Starfield Version) Hungry / I WIll Not Be Silent (Chris Quilala Version) I Adore You (Phil Wickham) Lifesong (Casting Crowns) Today was my third Sunday as Creative Arts Pastor here at Resonate.  Scott was gone (doing a wedding back in Kentucky) and so our Family Life Pastor Petie spoke.  He did a great job!  We are currently in our vision series for our church where we go over our six values and every year we do this and repackage it to be taught again to keep our vision fresh and in front of people as much as possible.  So today we spoke about Value 6 which is "Gifted Service".  The service went fairly well.  I feel like I could have done better with the flow especially transitionally because there was some awkward dead space.  But all togetherI feel the service was pretty good but we can do better.

Set List: Everything Glorious (David Crowder* Band) Worship Medley (Arranged by 7|22) Came To My Rescue (Hillsong United) The Stand (Hillsong United) Weekend number two under my belt and it was an amazing weekend.  We did an acoustic set with Rob, Sarah and Myself.  God's presence filled the room quickly and it was tangible and thick as He stirred our emotions towards Him in a very intimate way.  I love wild, crazy, energetic praise, But I personally love intimate worship more.  God really move close to people and draw them close in those intimate times of worship!  I love how God shows up and shows himself to people!  That is the thing I love to see as a worship leader... Gods presence coming in ad changing everything.   Scott's message was amazing and was one of the huge reasons Kristy and I decided to come to Resonate!  We talked about Family Legacy which is a huge thing at Resonate. 

Set List: Life Is Highway (Rascal Flatts) Happy Day (TIm Hughes / Kristian Stanfill version) Beautiful Jesus (Kristian Stanfill) Lead Me To The Cross (Hillsong United / 7|22 version) From The Inside Out (Hillsong United) This weekend was my very first weekend as the Creative Arts Pastor for Resonate Church .  It was amazing to look back to our journey here and see God bring everything together.  It was awesome being on stage and having a huge sense of wow, God you lead us to the right place.   So this weekend we were in the middle of a vision series and we were talking about being "Radically Connected" together.  Here at Resonate being involved in Life Groups and doing life together is the highest value.  We had an amazing time getting to be "Radically Connected" together with God. We had an amazing time of Responsive Worship (communion & offering).  God really showed up in an awesome way and I am very excited about being a part of Resonate.

Now that we are officially Washintonians and have a home in Buckley Washington let say me say that we love it.  However I could tear up easily thinking about our aweseom family and friends back home.  I miss my mom terribly... more than I can really describe and all though I sound like a momma's boy that is fine with me because I am a mamma's boy.  We absolutely love it here though.  I love the people of Resonate... I love my staff team and I love my worship team.  Tonight I had my first worship practice with my new team and it went great!  I am so thankful God really went before me and prepare the way for all of this.  The journey here was really hard but being here is amazing and God is really blessing things for us like crazy.   As we continue to adjust to everything please continue to check up on my blog I will post as often as I can.  I want to do it every day but during this transition it might only be a couple times a week. So continue to check in and I will give you mor...
