Orange Session 1!!

Tonight was the first main session of #Orange10. It was amazing! Orange truly out did themselves this year with the programming and the overall visual feel of the environment. The Orange Conference opened up with session 1 tonight and the tone was set to help us all rethink how God has called us to COLLIDE with our culture, with families, with kids, with those far from Christ.

When we collide with each other intentionally with the purpose to cultivate change and progress our impact will be greater. Tonight’s talk was awesome and Chris Wiersma did a great job articulating the importance of us to collide with people without the thought of what we can do for them and what they can do for us but that there is Fragment of who God is inside of them. And when we collide with people intentionally and they with us we change the way people view us, our faith, and our God.

There was a lot of awesome stuff said tonight, but there was one thought that stood out to me a ton.

“When I Continually Collide with God it changes the way I view people” Reggie Joiner

- I felt like that was a huge statement to kick off the conference. Helping us to understand that leadership and progress is great, but if we aren’t consistently colliding with God we will begin to do ministry out of memory or habit instead of our imagination. What an excellent starting point for the conference and an excellent point to process through before we dive in to the different avenues or Orange.

Pumped about the sessions to come as we process through what colliding with the people around us, and those who aren’t around us looks like
