I spent Thursday through Saturday at the Advance 09 conference at the Durham Performing Arts Center.
Advance 09 was sort of the springboard for Advance The Church, which you might describe as a movement dedicated to shifting the momentum of christianity in America from hypocrisy, politics, morality, pragmatism, and judgment to a hyper-focus on Jesus, His death, burial, and resurrection, and all the consequences that follow from that.
A joint effort of TheResurgence, DesiringGod, and Acts 29, I was interested in the conference as soon as I heard about it, and especially because it happened only about 30 minutes from my house, I prayed seriously about whether to go; but I was also hesitant because it was a little expensive and also required a day off work. But God seemed to really nudge me to get there, and He seriously cleared a path to make the decision easy.
In the end, I walked away with so much. I still feel like my head is going to explode. If I took the time to write out everything that happened this weekend, you probably wouldn’t even have time to read it, but here is some processing by way of bullet points (you can also download the entire conference audio here for free):
