Newsboys | Go

On Wednesday, the "fam" and I went to see the Newsboys in concert (in Missoula). There were actually four bands playing: Article One, New World Son, Rush of Fools, and the Newsboys.

First of all, I've never heard of them, but Article One (a band from London, Ontario) was fantastic. They were only the opening band, but they were full of energy, had a great rock sound, and a violin player that rocked. Seriously!

Second of all, the Newsboys on this "Go" tour was the absolute best concert I've ever seen. Seriously! Lights, media, music, all hits, great sound, deep conversation. Wow! This was both of the boys' first concert, too.

Hangin' With Martin

This last week, I got to hang out with good friend Martin Allen from Worship Foundations International. He was leading worship and a workshop for Shepherd's Conference for Rocky Mountain Bible Mission in Missoula and asked me to come and provide some backup keyboard (but I know he just wanted us to hang out).

It's been a couple years, so it was good to see Martin again and catch up on each other's lives. Thanks, man!

UPDATE: "Given" on K-LOVE

Here's a quick update on the K-LOVE Radio News coverage I mentioned here. First, you can listen to the online version of the interview with the mp3 player below. You can access the web stream in the News & Weather section of their website. I didn't catch it the shorter version played on air. Did anyone else?

Update: "Given" on CBS

Here's a quick update on the CBS News "Given" coverage. You can access the story and their video stream on the CBS News website as long as it's available.. I also posted the video here.

"Given" Goes National

It's happening again with the Given project! I did a radio interview with K-LOVE radio (90.1FM in Helena) on Wednesday. It was just a short interview of how we hope to impact our community by giving back to our community.

K-LOVE radio is a national network of stations also affiliated with AIR1 radio (90.1FM in SoCal). The interview will be posted in the News & Weather section of their website and played on all K-LOVE and AIR1 stations across the nation next Wednesday, April 9. Be sure to tune in if you can.

"Given" on CBS

Apparently, we've struck a chord with our community.

We were contacted by KXLH Channel 25, our local CBS affiliate, about the Given project. KXLH is an extention of CBS Channel 3 in Great Falls. Either way, the news program will be filming parts of our service on Sunday as well as conducting an interview with a few individuals later.

I'm pretty jazzed up because I think one our biggest desires as believers and as a church is to make an impact for Jesus within the community where we live.

Not to us, O LORD, not to us
but to your name be the glory,
because of your love and faithfulness.
-Psalm 115:1
