What I learned at Passion 2011

SO, I had the most amazing experience to begin my year.  Troy and I had the opportunity to volunteer at Passion 2011.  So often while at Passion, I thought I want to blog this...since then...I haven't had to opportunity to try and capture it all.  I have decided to stop trying. 
One thing I know for sure Jesus was there.  Over and over He was showing Himself to me and not just to me...the cooperate outpouring of the Spirit was overwhelming and overflowing.  It really was one of the best experiences of my life.  I hope I never forget it...but that is a blog yet to come.  I have decided to blog Passion in a mini-series.  I can't promise a schedule (seen a TILT lately?), but I will in bits and pieces try to share the amazing things God is still teaching me from that few days.

Before I blog Passion, I figured that not everyone knows what Passion is...where it comes from, who it is...
Passion is a movement that began in 1997 led by Louie Giglio with the purpose of encouraging college students to seek the face of God, asking Him to ignite in their souls a passionate pursuit of Jesus Christ and a desire to spread His fame to everyone on earth.  Their purpose and passion comes from Isaiah 26:8 which says "“Yes Lord, walking in the way of Your truth we wait eagerly for You, for Your name and renown are the desire of our souls.” (this is a combination of NASB and NIV). 
I am part of the 268Generation.  I love that the emphasis is Jesus...that if we pursue Jesus, if we fill our lives with Him, that He will spill out and be made known by how we choose to live our lives.  I want that kind of life...passionately pursuing Jesus and making Him famous. 
And the line-up doesn't stink: Louie Giglio, Frances Chan, Beth Moore, Andy Stanley, John Piper, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Dave Crowder Band, Charlie Hall, Kristian Stanfill, Christy Nockels, Tenth Avenue North, Gungar, Dave Platt, Gabe Lyons...
