Missio Dei

This last year I had the amazing pleasure of attending the Q Conference. It’s hosted by The Fermiproject, the same people who put on Catalyst. Q stands for Questions. It’s about convening to ask better questions in four areas: Culture, Church, Future and Gospel. Last year included Donald Miller, Rick McKinley, Rob Bell, Chris Seay, and my favorite, Catherine Rohr from Prison Entrepreneurship Program. I think there were over 18 speakers and several musical acts. John Foreman from Switchfoot played an amazing acoustic set and a song he literally just wrote that week. We also got to see an early premier of Bella.

Q is designed to be much like the TED conference. Each speaker has 18 minutes to speak and by lunch your brain is on overload. By dinner you want to go to sleep and dream of the possibilities but someone invites you to dinner because that’s just how they do it here.

This years roster includes: Tim Keller, Tim Sanders, Diane Louise Jordan, Louie Giglio, Makoto Fujimura, Bill McKibben, Jon Tyson, Andy Crouch, Rick Devos, Chuck Colson, Jamie Tworkowski, Jim Wallis, and so many more. The cool thing about Q is that the lesser known speakers are the reason to come. They have such brilliant ideas and they are putting them into action.

The event this year is in New York City next to the Empire State Building. NYC is costly so I wanted to split the cost of a 2B apartment as opposed to a hotel. I’m looking for someone who would like to room with me and share the experience. I’m getting ready to book an apartment in the city so I need to know soon.

Who’s with me?

If you don’t want to share a room but you are coming to the conference, make sure you let me know. I’d love to meet everyone who shows up here from time to time. Trust me you won’t be disappointed if you can make it.
