Tonight I got to experience a celebration and gathering for LifeChurch.tv's volunteers and leaders. It was their annual "Big Show". This year's theme was "Hero". I have some screen shots that I want to share with you, but honestly, the worship/music time was so moving and wonderful that I didn't have the presence of mind to capture any screen shots. I was all in - totally engaged. It was awesome!
Lifechurch.tv's servants got to hear an encouraging message from pastor
Craig Groeschel. My favorite part was when he went campus by campus and shared a story of a person or couple engaged in ministry and told them they were a "hero" and were being used by God. It was very moving.
If you look to the right of these screen shots you'll see the most exciting and different part of the experience. Interactive chat was going on the entire time: during the welcome/intros, during the music, during the message - people were engaged, participating and sharing what God had laid on their heart all throughout.
For me, personally, it was something that I've wanted to see for a while and watching it finally happen is hard to put into words. You've got to experience it. The first time I experienced this in a worship setting was their
LifeShare. Below is LifeChurch.tv's Internet Campus Pastor,
Brandon Donaldson, along with some other Digerati Team members (off screen) in their studio. They created a sweet vibe and atmosphere.
And to wrap things up they celebrated the turn out of internet campus volunteers that logged in and turned out for this amazing gathering. Since so many volunteers were online during the "Big Show", LifeChurch.tv's Online Community Pastor,
Tony Steward, got a pie in the face. Nice!
So, Greg. Can you post the video link from Mogulus or wherever when you get a chance? Or dm me on Twitter. I want to show my wife, ...and watch it again myself -- it was awewome!

That was an incredible time. We have some incredible leaders that serve each week on the Internet Campus. Greg, it was so cool to have you there as a part!
