Today's my last day at Catalyst. It's a bitter-sweet day. It came too soon. But we're having a big debriefing meeting for west coast. And then we're celebrating a great run with a team lunch.
I'll be off to Virginia Beach in a week to start building an organization that produces live experiences and film projects. Who's with me!? ... Seriously.


I really enjoyed the tiny part I got to play in WiBo... If I can ever help-out in the future just let me know.

LOL @ Anne. Dunno if that was an inside joke or not, but it made me giggle anyway.

One question, does VA BCH have waves? If so, I'm with you.

I'm always down for something exciting.
I love live events and filmmaking.
And Terrace seems cool, so I'll copy him:

The human head weighs 8 pounds and my human head (and the rest of me) would love to help where possible and needed.
Posted by: Pete | May 16, 2009 at 10:28 AM
I'm in, Ben. Would love to support you any way possible. Volunteering (as at WiBO), Praying (for you often), and beyond. Can't wait to see you and Matt Knisely team up for something (I know that is going to happen at some point). Praying for your move and beyond ... again, welcome back to Virginia.
Posted by: Michael Harrison | May 16, 2009 at 08:48 PM
So excited for you and eager to support however I can!
Posted by: Jenni Catron | May 16, 2009 at 09:41 PM
Ben, unfortunately Terrace.com is already taken. I'm not that cool to have a first name stand-alone though.
... and yes sir, you had me at hello. :=)

Ok, just so you know I was not kidding when I said I would volunteer (and I have a daughter who is into this stuff and would jump at a chance to help). Seriously.
Posted by: Cyndi | May 18, 2009 at 12:13 PM
dude, coming back to VB!? that's awesome dude. I know I never really got to get to know you at all while you were at LBBC (I know Meghan did), but I'm been stalking your blog pretty religiously. It's good stuff dude. congrats on the next step and hopefully we'll get to know each other better someday soon.
Posted by: Cameron Gwaltney | May 18, 2009 at 12:28 PM
Hey, you're worship leader at Aletheia?? Those are my good buddies!
Posted by: Ben | May 19, 2009 at 08:26 AM
oh really man?! I didn't know you were tight with those guys! Yeah, when Aaron moved down to start the new church plant in Tampa, I stepped up to fill his role as the worship leader. As this country dude we call "Jonboy" said to me on my first day, "You've got some big Chuck Taylors to fill, Gwaltney!"
let me know when you get back to the beach man, I'd love to get up with you if you've got time. And Meg was STOKED to hear the news, haha.
Posted by: Cameron Gwaltney | May 19, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Ben, it was really good working with you recently, and I hope we can work together again in some new way.
Posted by: Marshall Shelley | May 20, 2009 at 10:45 AM

Hey Ben...
So...I've been slacking on my blog reading since coming on at the new church and low and behold...you're on the move again. I know whatever you do, God will bless it. Your heart for his leading and direction is amazing.
I'm hoping to make it up to Story...it would be great to see you again! Thanks for your insight when it was time to move on from my last church...our new ministry home is truly amazing. I love it when God shuffles the deck!
Hope to see you soon...
-Jim
