My wife, myself, and my buddy Michael Whittle have been going to the night services for C3. I was actually blown away by the first night. The worship was amazing. I believe that Fellowship is tapping into a type of worship that can be as big as Hillsong.

Ed Young spoke, and he is officially a genius of communication. Wow. The quote that really hit home with me was this, “When we get to heaven, God is not going to ask us why we were not more like someone else. He is going to ask us why we were not more like ourselves.”

He said that we are all creative geniuses, but we are all different. He said we should not try to be like someone else or even make someone else like us. You can tell he believes that too. His worship team is made up of some of the most eclectic, artsy people I have seen in a long time. They do not look like little Ed Youngs running around. I believe that is why his church is thriving too. He allows people to express who they are as long as it does not compromise God or the Bible.

Personally, I have been on both sides of this. I have tried to make people like me and leaders have tried to make me like them by changing who I am.

Anyone else have any thoughts or experiences with this?
