Here's a few more sessions/breakouts at Orange I didn't get around to blogging about when I was there:
Andy Stanley showed up for a session to do a Q and A.
My fried Erik Scottberg jotted down some notes on it HERE.
Carrie Nieuwhof: Five Parenting Tips
1. Start with the end.
• Think about the end before you start anything. What do you want you kids to end up like?
• What do I want this little baby to be like when he’s 18, 28, 45, 70?
2. Fight for the Heart
• Rules can win out over relationship. Be careful.
• Parents love rules. Pharisees loved rules. Hmmm... make sure rules aren’t more important that relationship.
• Sometimes get too frustrated at what they see int heir kids..then they hammer down with the rules...and lose their hearts. If you have their hearts, they will get the rules.
• God is fighting for your heart. We need to fight for our kids’ heart.
3. Lead with your LIFE
• An inheritance is what you leave FOR your kids A legacy is what you leave IN your kids.
• What does your life say about how much you care about your kids?
4. Create a Ryythm
• You can be present, but still absent. You can be home at night, but if you’re on the laptop, then not really.
• It’s not the quality of time, but the quantity of quality time that makes a difference.
• The rhythm is daily, weekly, monthly and geared to life stage.
• A priority is a pre-decision about your time.
5. Multiply your influence
• grab some men in the church and let them build into boys. Same with women and girls.
Louie Giglio challenged us to be a transcendent Church
Some of his points:
1. Tell the gospel AND do the gospel
2. Tell supernatural stories AND experiencing supernatural acts
3. Movement AND walls.
4. It’s about the future MORE THAN the past. The church should always be leaning forward.

Speaking of quantity of quality time and a follow tweet that you sent out reminded me of something that I went through with my son.
Last September, I was in South Africa for a month. I went a month without seeing my son.
Towards the end, I was lovesick. My son didn't understand why I was gone. I was on the plane coming back home when he told his mom, "I just don't want to ever see him again."
That tune, of course, changed when I went to pick him up at school the next day.
But the first thing I said when I saw him was this:
"I will never leave anywhere without you. If I go to Africa, Asia, Europe or even one county over, you will always be my side. I promise you."
That reminded me of Moses going into Egypt to free the Israelites and went through the Red Sea to get out.
If you line up your timeline correctly, you will know that his wife and two sons never experienced the miracle of the crossing of the Red Sea.
My son will not miss my Red Sea. He will be there to see the glory of God.
Wow, thanks for that.
This has been a BIG message into my heart as of late. THANK YOU.
