[lead]It’s VOUS Conf. season and as our anticipation continues to bubble up, we took a timeout from the hustle and bustle to think about some of the reasons we’re excited for conference. [/lead]
1.) Leadership Development
You could be a pastor, entrepreneur, creative, or media personality, but one constant among all those niches is, the need for effective leaders who can empower, equip, and develop other leaders. Our breakout sessions will provide a space to grow as a leader, across different areas of interest.
2.) South Beach
Because it's still 49 degrees and wet somewhere in the Northeast — snowbirds welcomed!Don't forget your SPF 100, sunnies, and chancletas. It's gonna be a great weekend!Sidenote: In case you don't speak Miami, here's the definition of chancleta:
Chancleta [Chahn•kle•tah]
Noun
1. Hispanic word for a cheap sandal or flip-flops; also known as chancla. Often found under the bed. 2. Often used as disciplinary tool to correct lamentable behavior.
3.) John Gray’s High Notes
Because what other communicator can make you laugh and cry at the same time?
4.) Merch
Fashion Week’s got nothing on VOUS Conf. Weekend. We’re pretty pumped about this year’s lookbook.
5.) Mosaic MSC
It's #WCW and we’re totally crushin’ on Mariah McManus. No, but seriously, we believe that God will move hearts and speak to us during this powerful time of worship. We can’t be more excited for this.<
6.) Judah Smith's Dope Sense of Style
Can you blame us? The man has a handle on the style game. I'm sure he's bringing his A-game eyewear to go with his A-game preaching.
7.) A Very Personal Encounter with God
One of the core reasons we put on VOUS Conference every year is so that people can encounter God. No matter the season you're in, we’re all waiting on a specific word from him. We believe that God is going to do something very unique during this years conference. Last year was epic, but we believe that the best is always in front of us.
8.) Meek Mill
Carl Lentz started the rumors, not us.
9.) Passionate Tears
Speaking of Carl, we can always use a good cry, and he's the guy to make it happen. We believe he's got a timely word for us specific to the season that we're in.
10.) Revival in Miami
Although some of these reasons are a little cheeky and fun, let's keep the main thing, the main thing. The reason so many servant leaders sacrifice their time, sleep, gifts, and talents, is simply to see this city transformed by the power of the gospel. We're believing that all of the planning, late nights, hard work, and prayer are all coming to a head June 9th, 2017. We're so happy we're in this together.
BONUS - Our Pastors
Who can argue this one? We have two of the most thoughtful, passionate, loving, and authentic leaders in the world. We’re here to ride it out with you guys the whole way through. We love you and honor you Pastor Rich and DC. Let’s do this!
