Exponential 2010 and Francis Chan
by Anne Milam | No Comment

francis-chan-photo_2I just got back from Exponential, a week of church planting conferencing in Orlando. What a week! Partly because Orlando was sunny and amazing, and perhaps partly because I was surrounded by reminders that I was in “the happiest place on earth,” it was a great week of encouragement, rest and relaxation, sans kids. Oh and the conference…ha, ha!

My favorite thing I look forward to each year, besides the phenomenal spouse track they offer, is Francis Chan. He has been a main speaker for several years now and he usually closes out the final session with amazing and moving teaching.  This year was no exception and he shared with us a little about his recent resignation from the church he planted in Simi Valley, CA about 16 years ago. Next to his talk, one of the best things about him being at the conference is that the MC for the week, Eric Bramlett, usually does a hilarious parody of some rock song as a means of introducing Chan.

You can download Chan’s talk or youtube it, but I am going to include the video of the song Eric did. Scroll down and enjoy!
