Catalyst was at Mariner&#8217;s Church in Newport Beach (first time being there for me) and Q was at the Chicago Civic Opera (first time being there too).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Not only are these special events for so many Christian leaders in the USA, but they were special for me because in both events I was able to turn over a new leaf about writing projects. At Catalyst West I began to talk about my next book, <i>One.Life: Jesus Calls, We Follow<\/i>. It will be out next Winter with Zondervan. It asks what a Christian life looks like if we take discipleship seriously and let Jesus&#8217; kingdom vision shape what discipleship looks like. It might be seen as &#8220;Kingdom holiness.&#8221; The night before our session at Catalyst, some Origins folks had dinner together and it was great to see everyone: Eric Bryant, Margaret and Leif Feinberg, Dan Kimball and an associate, and April Diaz. Great dinner with some Boddingtons.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>One of the highlights at Catalyst for me was the &#8220;radio&#8221; interview with Brad Lomenick. Good chat and he asked some surprising questions. I met so many people, saw some friends (like Susan Isaacs and Mike Cope), and always look forward to what Catalyst will do next.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>At the Q conference, which meant only a train ride for me, we have 18 minutes and I addressed the question &#8220;Did Jesus preach the gospel?&#8221; I&#8217;ve been working on &#8220;gospel&#8221; stuff so long, and have the guts of a manuscript about ready called <i>In the Beginning was the Gospel<\/i>, that I felt like I got up on the stage and exploded with ideas &#8230; it seemed that every paragraph in my notes needed two hours to explain thoroughly. I surely left some loose ends, and the questions afterwards were time for some of them to be tied together.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I met Tim Keller for the first time; listened to his excellent talk on connecting justification and justice &#8230; there is so much to say about the Q event&#8230; I spent lots of time with Darren Whitehead, chatted some with Norton Herbst, had dinner with Mark DeMoss and Tyler Wigg-Stevenson &#8230; and I better stop now. Too many good sessions, including one with Phyllis Tickle &#8230; another good event. Next year&#8217;s event is in Portland.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Brad and Gabe &#8230; you&#8217;re helping all of us.
