I got to spend some time with the leaders of CF's student ministries-Todd, Corey, Tommy, Anthony and Emilio. A couple of interns and volunteers came as well. We had an awesome time in Orlando for two days.

YP Summit is hosted by Spiritual Leadership University and is completely free to student pastors. Chik Fil A, Universal Studios, and 24/7 ministries pay for the event. It's held at Universal Studios, Orlando, and kicks off in the Hard Rock Live theater.
Francis Chan tore it up. He spoke twice and is not only a brilliant speaker, he's also genuine and real.
I also enjoyed sitting in on Thom and Sam Rainer, David Wraight and Chris Hill. There were great perspectives on the church, students and leadership.
We spent our evening hanging with the guys from First Priority. Fred, Chris and Dave are awesome guys. They took us to dinner at Giardanos. If you haven't had it, you got to check it out! Great stuff.
It was a great two days together. I really appreciate all of the guys that head up our ministries to students. Sure, they pretty much make paper airplanes all day and go to lunch with students, but they are really good at it. Seriously, they are some hard working fellas.
Also, here's a big shout out to every volunteer leader in our student ministries! Our student ministry literally couldn't be effective without each one of you. Much LOVE!
