I remember when I went on a mission trip, every night we would sit in a circle and say something nice about someone. We called it the “Warm Fuzzies Game.”

I told you there is so much from C3 that I wanted to share, warm fuzzies if you will, so I will attempt to put it into words. All the speakers were amazing, but three of them said some things that rocked my world, Ed Young, Craig Groeschel, and T.D. Jakes. Today’s post is my warm fuzzy with Craig Groeschel.

About a week before C3, my wife and I had been really talking about taking some steps back towards ministry. Honestly, we were scared. I work a job, that is not great, but it is money coming in. I expressed this struggle a little bit in this post.

So we went into C3 with this struggle on our hearts and minds. The second night of C3, Craig Groeschel talked about God giving you a hall pass. He said, ”

“If there is something you know God has told you to do….THEN DO IT! When God is telling you to GO and people are telling you no…whip out your HALL PASS!”

That shook my wife and I. We just looked at each other with tears streaming down our face. Then he pointed at the front row where Ed Young, Jentezen Franklin and all the amazing men and women of God were sitting and he said,

“I believe that just like these great men and women have gathered, the next generation of great Kingdom warriors are in this room!”

I about exploded when he said that! I think I actually raised my hand like an elementary kid does when he wants the teacher to pick him. That was a great experience that breathed some life into me. Pulled me out of my perception and put me back into seeing things through God’s perception!

Monday, I’ll talk about my warm fuzzy with Ed Young. It is not really a warm and fuzzy feel good, more like a challenge, but we will roll with it.
