		<title>Favor</title>
		<description><![CDATA["And the king granted these requests, because the gracious hand of God was on me." Nehemiah 2:8 (NLT) Nehemiah took on the seemingly impossible task of rebuilding Jerusalem's walls.  Extraordinarily, Nehemiah wasn't a political, religious, or military leader; he was a cup bearer.  Yet he experienced God's favor.  Here are some thoughts why Nehemiah experienced [...]]]></description>

		<title>Small groups are important</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love Rick Warren's post on six important reasons you need a small group.  Here are the six in a nutshell: 1.

		<title>The Social Network</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Julie and I went to a movie last night, our first movie in a theater in a long, long time.  We watched The Social Network, the story of the beginning of Facebook.

		<title>Youth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm stoked about what our youth are planning to take this ministry to the next level.  Dane, Malen, and Josh are doing a great job developing this ministry.  One thing I really love is that the youth are running the same offense as the rest of the church.  Our "faith, connection, life" discipleship strategy is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Opposition</title>
		<description><![CDATA["Human opposition only enhances your (God's) glory, for you use it as a sword of judgement."  Psalm 76:10 What a great reminder that opposition to God's purposes and the Gospel doesn't stop Him, and even more, it brings him glory.  This seems so counter-intuitive to us.  We often think that opposition impedes God's purpose, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>How clear is your gospel presentation?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here's a great post on the importance of clearly presenting the gospel: "The great Apostle Paul asked the believers of Colosse to pray for his gospel presentation to be as clear as possible.
