Day 35: The Human Aslan and Elevate

Today we had another day of discussing Communication in Ministry; first we talked about whether we have assertive, aggressive, or non-assertive behavior during conflicts and things concerning conflict resolution. It was a good set, but not as good as the lecture we had later on. After an excellent lunch with Jake Sulley (Okay, so he's not really Jake Sulley from Avatar, but his name's Jake, he's a cool guy, and he even kinda looks like the other guy) we got to meet with our church life specialists for what we'll be doing during the week as part of our ministry requirements. So I will be part of the Street Teams, which I'm more than excited about 8) However, nothing was as awesome as hearing the amazing Robert Fergusson talk about Characteristics of Communication. So if you don't know Robert Fergusson, he's like the guru of Hillsong; he's an expert at preaching and teaching, he's a veteran member, being part of the church when Brian Houston's dad was running the church, and having one of the most anointed abilities to speak straight into your heart. He's like the Aslan of Hillsong; a voice that is filled with authority, yet gentle at the same time. So cool. We also had Elevate night at Hills campus, and it was cool seeing Joel Houston and Darlene Zschech there; worship was just incredible. Joel and Jad Gillies introduced a new song that was written by Reuben Morgan AND Chris Tomlin (what a team) called Awakening, and it was just amazing; you're gonna love it when the new album comes out. God really just spoke to me today through everything that happened; it's incredible how easy it is for Him to talk with us and how hard it is for us to listen. But I received, and I am grateful.

God bless,
Steven
