Picture Week: Catalyst

My camera (actually my wife's camera) is full of pictures. So this week is picture week at robshep.com. Enjoy.

Last Thursday and Friday I attended a conference in ATL called Catalyst. It's amazing! It has a top shelf line up of speakers, passionate worship, and fun entertainment. There isn't another conference like it. This year's theme was "On Your Mark." You'll see they made sure the theme was carried through the entire venue. Here are some pics of some of the highlights.

who wore suits that people could actually leave their mark on (write on).

At one point I was standing about 3 feet away from Andy backstage,
but I was too scared to talk to him. Pictured Above: Rob Bell, author of Velvet Elvis and Pastor of Mars Hill

Chad is the Catalyst Concierge. He hooked me up with a luncheon with Perry Noble and a breakfast with Francis Chan. Both are pastors and guys that I have a high level of respect for.
