Elevation

Last weekend, my friend Blaine and I road tripped to Charlotte, NC to visit Elevation Church.

It was a phenomenal weekend and trip. We both follow the church and Pastor Steven Furtick pretty closely, so it was a privilege and exciting experience to get to be there in person at their church. We even got a behind the scenes tour of their production rooms by one of their volunteers at their Blakeney campus, and I got to talk first hand with their Producer about how they do multi-site, etc. Their band, Elevation Worship, is extremely talented as well. Their latest CD, Nothing is Wasted, came out very recently. Here is one of their songs off that CD and that is also on their For The Honor CD called "Give Me Faith."

Burning Lights

Road tripped with three friends of mine from WEC to Baltimore on February 22nd to see Chris Tomlin in concert on the Burning Lights Tour to promote his recent CD release. What I love about Christian concerts is that you don't just go there to be entertained and performed for, you go there to participate. It's more like a super large worship service where you get to sing and worship your heart out with thousands of other Christians. I made sure to listen to the Burning Lights CD enough before the concert so I could sing my heart out to every song. It was phenomenal. I have been to a handful of concerts, but this one was by far my favorite. Why? Well, cuz Chris Tomlin is my favorite music artist of all time! Time to check that off my bucket list...
