Thirst Conference Highlights

This past Saturday, 9/25, I had the privilege of participating in the Thirst Young Adults Conference in Scotch Plains, NJ. The mission of THIRST was to connect, inspire, and equip young adults and leaders to meet the unique challenges they face in their communities and everyday lives. I believe the conference executed its mission. It's now up to the young adults who attended this conference to carry it out.

THIRST worship was lead by Gungor and general session speakers included: Anne Jackson, Jon Acuff, Gabe Lyons, Eric Mason, and Margaret Feinberg. Each speaker brought their unique style and inspiration. Here's a little (homemade) piece of what the almost 400 young adults experienced. Stay tuned later this week for interviews with Margaret Feinberg, Trevor Gordan Hall (musician), and Bobby Nemuth (local teaching pastor and young adult leader).

Sounds like an awesome conference. I wish I could have seen CATALYST as well. Speaking of your choice of speakers, have you seen Gabe Lyons' new book, "The Next Christians?" I'm adding it to my to-read list.

I'm currently reading "The Next Christians" and love it. I met Gabe at Thirst. He's the real deal. Very genuine and sincere.

Can't wait to read it. Also saw Rob Bell and Craig Groeschel have new ones. I would be so freaking smart if I had money! :)
