Wednesday is my day off so I usually don’t answer my cell phone if I don’t recognize the number. I got a call today from a number I didn’t recognize but for some reason I answered it. It was Ed Young’s administrative assistant asking if I had a minute to talk to Ed.

Are you kidding me? I’ve got two days to talk to Ed Young

Ended up talking to Ed for about a half hour. It was honestly one of the most enjoyable conversations I’ve had in a long time. Felt like we were old friends.

Ed pastors Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas. It’s a high-impact church that reaches about 18,000 people each weekend. And it’s one of those churches that is influencing a ton of churches around the country. For what it’s worth, we’re part of the Fellowship Connection. In my estimation, Fellowship Church is one of the most creative churches in the history of the church. Can’t wait for their C3 conference next January. I’m planning on taking our team. If you’re never been you’ve got to go! I also love the resources availble on creativepastors.com. Great stuff.

Ed is one of guys that I’ve really admired from a distance. What I’d call a-mentor-at-large. So it was cool to connect. I’m glad I answered my phone
