Today begins the week of Catalyst West Coast, and I am prepared to see what God has in store for me here in Irvine, CA.

Conferences are fantastic resources for me. I know some are not so encouraged by them, but my heart and mind are frequently refreshed by them. Sadly, because of financial resources, it has been a couple years since I have been able to attend one for which I was not speaking or teaching.

Catalyst includes several people I look forward to hearing from in hopes of a rejuvenating heart for ministry. I would imagine the rest of this week here will have quips and quotes I am taking away from Catalyst.

People I am excited to hear from: Matt Chandler Rick McKinley Michael Hyatt Rev Run Mark Batterson Gungor Carlos Whittaker John Mark McMillan Eugene Peterson Jack Dorsey Anne Jackson

and so many others
