A couple of events are coming up that I want you to know about:<\/p>\n
Traction Conference for Men<\/strong><\/p>\n One is called Traction and is hosted by a Missions Catalyst reader, Dan. He says:<\/p>\n “If you’re a guy who serves internationally (or you know someone who is!), please keep reading. A very special gathering called Traction is coming together near Interlaken, Switzerland, September 21-27, 2013, and men who serve internationally are being invited.<\/p>\n “Imagine six days in the Alps surrounded by a community of men who really understand. Imagine taking time to restore your soul, refuel your passion, and refresh your body.”<\/p>\n \u00bb Learn more or register for Traction<\/a>.<\/p>\n Simply Jesus Gathering\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The second event is called Simply Jesus<\/a> and is being pulled together by my bud Carl Medearis. I’m psyched to go because Carl’s a great guy, but also because N.T. Wright is going to be there! (And my strong hope is that I can get him to play and sing some Dylan<\/a>. If that happens, you don’t want to miss it.)<\/p>\n The event, to be held November 7-9 in Denver, Colorado, is focused on the person, life, and teaching of Jesus, and it’s for anyone who wants to understand more about Jesus. In the interest of full disclosure, if ten of you sign up for Simply Jesus and tell them you heard about it from me, my wife and I get to go free! I’d love to see you there.<\/p>\n \u00bb Learn more or register for the Simply Jesus Gathering<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00bb For more events, see the Missions Catalyst events calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A couple of events are coming up that I want you to know about: Traction Conference for Men One is called Traction and is hosted by a Missions Catalyst reader, Dan.
