Last night the ONEband (our youth/young adult worship team) came together to celebrate a huge “W”. Two weeks ago our team led worship for over 1,200 students at Genesis Conference. We witnessed God do some amazing things in thousands of lives. The worship was nothing short of incredible, some of the most passionate, intimate worship I’ve ever been a part of.
After every great “W” there needs to be a moment of reflection and kick butt celebration.
Here’s how we did it…
We destroyed 3 of Ed Walker’s 5 lb. burgers last night. Not a crumb left.
Ok, it’s been waaaaaaay to long. In September I took a new role on staff here at HT. I’m now the Creative Media Director. I’ll be honest with you, I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. For all those creative media peeps who are also worship peeps….I pray a special multiplication blessing over your sleep.
My calling is worship, my heart is to see life change. So I took an opportunity to help my church create life change in a larger capacity. I like to think this was a chivalrous act, setting aside my wants and desires to let my life be used by God is a bigger way. In just five months I’ve been stretched in ridiculous ways, my creativity has hit brick walls, and my schedule has looked me in the face and laughed at me…BUT some really great things are in progress.
“You will only grow to the threshold of your pain.”
My blog will be taking on a new focus. I will only be blogging on creativity in media and worship. My wife has started our family blog HERE and there is something coming that will be really cool I’m working on with our HTcreative team.
Let me know if you have any suggestions for the new and improved TheJonMorris.com.
With that title I’m sure you are now thinking “typical” church staffer. I can’t count how many times on twitter I see a pastor, church staffer, or leader say my wife is so hot, beautiful, awesome, etc. I sometimes wonder if they write that because they are smart enough to know they aren’t home enough or haven’t been the best husband they can be?
Or is that the pastors, staffers, leaders of today really do love their wives more. Or maybe it’s because in the past that was unacceptable. Or maybe it’s because for the first time in centuries men have figured out how much the wife means to the household.
I’m not stating an opinion either way. But I will say this.
MY WIFE IS FREAKING HOT!!!!!!!!
Last night I got the awesome privilege of listening to my smoking hot wife share a word that God had given her with the entire worship community here at Harvest Time. I love watching her worship, I love watching her be mom, I love watching her cook, clean, work in the yard, and most of all I love watching her grow in God. I now get to add something to that, I love watching her get her preach on.
Here are some tweets I posted during her talk last night:
- Don’t give up at the sight of the wall of jericho. Bigger blessings are hidden behind bigger walls. @Steph_Morris #gathering
- Favor follows obedience which follows time spent with God. @Steph_Morris #gathering
- Valuable things have cost. What are you giving to see God move? @Steph_Morris #gathering
- The difference between Abraham and Jonah….obedience. @Steph_Morris
Stephanie I know you will read this. I love you so much. Great job last night. The word you spoke moved me.
