Fantastical

Just got home from David Crowder's Fantastical Church Music Conference in Waco. I've got months of blog material from this.

But, to summarize......

Gungor - Best surprise of the weekend. I want more, Michael Gungor.

David Crowder - Great host and amazing band. Just ridiculous. Thanks for doing "How He Loves."

Songwriting Session with John Mark McMillan, Matt Redmon and Matt Maher - Perspective: God likes music, but mostly He likes us. If we don't put some of ourselves in our music, really, how interested in God in that?

Frances Chen - Humbling. What faith.

Rob Bell - Great thoughts for writers. Words, words, words.

Louie Giglio - I love his passion for creation.

David Dark - Away with the duality of secular and sacred. All good art is Christian art...hmmmm.

Good stuff =)
