Exponential

Hey Church Planters and Pastors of Church Planting Churches: Do you know about the Exponential Conference? Formerly called the "National New Church Conference" it is definitely the biggest and, to my knowledge, the best church planting conference in America.

Here are the main speakers: Andy Stanley, Tim Keller, Alan Hirsh, Dave Ferguson, Ed Stetzer, Steve Andrews, and ummmm, welllll, Rick Warren! Breakout session speakers include Mark Batterson, John Burke, Matt Chandler, Neil Cole, Bill Easum, Shawn Lovejoy, Sally Morganthaler, Bob Roberts, Greg Surratt, and ummmmm, wellll, me! There is also a church planting spouses' track, in which my wife will be leading 2 sessions.

It's also a cool time to meet people (who you normally only get to read their blogs) and network.

It's April 22-24 in Orlando. You should totally be there if you can.
