Even those of us who don't attend The Austin Stone saw this coming, and truely, I wish him well. But....Atlanta? Here in Washington State, we have this little town called Index, located in the Cascade mountains off of Route 2. It is home to the largest Wicca community in the state, and the largest Wiccan "seminary" in the region. Not church one. How about Gold Bar, the Meth capitol of the state? Or Seattle, where the homeless and the drug addicted and the souless yuppies are as much a part of the landscape as the space needle? For that matter, what about any part of the west coast, which is so starved for God it will ingest any and every belief because beliving in someting is less painful than beliving in nothing. Tomlin, I love ya and always will. But you can do way better than this. I can fully understand Chris leaving the church at this point.

Not so - just reporting the news and poking fun at all the insane things are/seem to be happening in Atlanta (or maybe the South in general). And I don't think Jesus is a Braves fan. More like Padres. Well I hope I didn’t sound like I was bashing the Tomlin/Giglio duo.

The only difference where I live at is that we, along with the other church plants/young churches around us are all doing well, but it still is such a huge market. There are hundreds of thousands in the metro area that don't go to church anywhere. At least where I live, the churches try to help each other as opposed to competing.

I have MAD MAD respect for both these guys. Eric - yup, it'll be an interesting case study with Austin stone. I'd like to see what has happened with Crowder and Baloche, Hall, others? Fred - "anchor" good and interesting word. I feel a blog post coming. John - thanks so much for stopping by. Both Tomlin and Louie have raised the bar - people are going to have high expectations for sure, but like you say: God's behind it. As far as beliefnet - why does this sound so familiar but I can't place it? off to check my emails... inWorship – I hear ya – God must have something special in mind that he’s been brewin’ in their hearts.

If anything, we can expect great and amazing things because God's behind it all... so, we'll be watching and waiting. On a side note... we're you lined up to have a call with Beliefnet last week? I think you've spoken with Kyle Fisk about it...? If so, we had an opportunity to meet last week! What a small world. John Alex,

Sounds like his itinerary was quite different than someone like Paul Baloche, who at one time, I was told he turned down an overwhelming # of opportunities to that he could commit to being at his "anchor", his local church at least 2 Sundays per month. But hey ... Louie does LIVE in ATL, so cut the guy some slack! :-) That’s very interesting.
