Orange 09: Session Three (Nancy Beach)
Posted on 04. May, 2009 by Kenny.
Nancy Beach spoke on women in leadership. It was a message worth speaking.
Going into ministry with half of the team on the leadership sideline is like sending and army into war with one arm tied behind their backs.
Deborah from Judges lead the country spiritually, militarily and politically.
Effective women leaders will bring a dimension to your team to represent the other side of the community you lead as well as the full character (maternal attributes) of God.
Many men closed to female leadership change their minds after they have daughters (Their perspective is changed).
Get into it – Make it an urgent issue
Get over it – It’s uncomfortable to deal with
Get on to it – Start making changes.… Read the rest

Orange 09: Session Two (Francis Chan)
Posted on 04. May, 2009 by Kenny.
I walked in just a few minutes late but Francis was already talking about human and child trafficking. He imagined if it was his daughters. What would he do? He’d be outraged. He’d do anything. They’re not your flesh and blood, so it’s different, huh? It was obvious that Francis was very passionate about this and there was certainly a tension in the room.
If I love my neighbor as myself and love these girls, like I love my own, I wouldn’t come to church to throw a few bucks at it. I’d come to the church to mobilize. I’d do something about it.
We get distracted, we get normalized. We calm down.
I never read the book of Acts, put it down and say, Wow, that’s just like us!” We’ve become so different.… Read the rest

Orange Detox
Posted on 04. May, 2009 by Kenny.
I’ve had an Orange overdose!
I returned from Atlanta two days ago and I haven’t posted a thing about Orange. Why? I’ve been falling asleep three hours early than the time I normally go to bed. My body is catching up on the rest it was deprived of all last week. Yeah, it was totally out of ballance, but it was GREAT!
So, I’ve still got a lot of things to process. I still haven’t uploaded all of my notes from Orange (I will in the next 24-48 hours). Still a lot to unpack. My wife and son are still in Gerorgia, so I should have some time to get my thoughts up here on this site. By the way. Thanks for taking this Orange journey with me!… Read the rest

Orange business card
Posted on 30. Apr, 2009 by Kenny.
Last year I wasn’t at a church when I came to Orange, so I had business cards printed so I could network. Since my church cards don’t have my blog and twitter information, I decided I’d print some new cards. Here they are.
I’m very please as to how they turned out. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments. I met John Acuff (Stuff Christians Like) and he really liked my card. Later in the day he twittered to me:
@kennyconley great meeting you today. your business card was insanely cool. I had BCE instantly.
I had to ask around what BCE stood for. I think it’s short for business card envy. So, that was a great compliment. Then about thirty minutes later I caught Chad using my card to eat cole slaw.… Read the rest

Orange 09: Session One (Reggie Joiner)
Posted on 30. Apr, 2009 by Kenny.
Reggie started the session off showing a framed picture of a family. He called them the “stock” family, the perfect looking family. It was the stereotype of what we think a good family is supposed ot look like. Reggie then doubted that everything was good with this family. He went on to pull out several more photos of friends or people he knew. Each family had a different situation. Each of these other families would look at a “stock” family and would not relate.
The problem is that we look at the “stock” family as the picture of a healthy family, but too often that is unachievable. We can’t always make “that” happen. We have to get beyond the pictures as God is looking to write a story with our lives.… Read the rest

Quick Interview with Chuck Bomar
Posted on 29. Apr, 2009 by Kenny.
I spent the day in a college ministry concentration with Chuck Boamar from collegeleader.org. I know, you’re a Children’s Pastor… what does college ministry have to do with me? If you’re concerned about the kids you minister today, you will care. I spoke with Chuck right after the three sessions for a few minutes. See what he has to say to Children’s Pastors.
Complete notes will follow later tonight.
