- Catalyst will be launching a special "backstage" website at the event this year hosted by Anne Jackson. Announced soon...
- Love this quote by Teddy Roosevelt: "By acting as if I were not afraid, I gradually ceased to be afraid." Are you trying anything dangerous?
- I don't believe in creative genius by committee. I love a team approach, but believe that the end-result is always better if someone owns it.
- My book status: after consulting with a few book experts, I decided to turn my church planting trilogy into one book. Started writing part two on Monday. Goal is January 1.
- A few innovations we're looking into at Catalyst: hologram technology, cutting edge registration systems, alternative projection surfaces and how we shoot footage of the event.
- We're sending out a west coast Catalyst teaser video next week - can't wait to unveil this thing.
- In addition to my Catalyst gig, I've been entrusted with leading new initiatives for Injoy.
- We've got 14 people interested in a church planting round table here at Catalyst. If you're interested in coming, leave a comment.


Hey Ben! I'd love to attend a Church Planting Roundtable at Catalyst. Shoot me an e-mail when you get some more info: nickp@allisonparkchurch.com
