Christian Communing at Conference by Motte Brown on 10/31/2006 at 1:28 PM

Over the last six years, the one common theme in my career has been working to leverage media and marketing opportunities for ministry. It's something that has taken me to many conferences -- to peddle product, network or learn about the next big thing. Mostly, you just hope for some takeaway that proves worth the time and money of attendance.

God Blog Con 2006 provided that takeaway and more.

I was most impressed by two things: the humility and generosity of big name bloggers like Hugh Hewitt and Joe Carter, and the maturity and insight from twentysomething new media champions from Biola like Kevin Wang, Keith Buhler and Andrew Selby. There was no arrogance or self-promotion detected in the entire group, only the desire to leverage this new media for God's glory.

So in addition to peddling the Boundless Line through networking and gaining insight from expert bloggers and new media champions, I was encouraged and blessed by an overwhelming sense of our common bond in Christ and the single focus on His Glory. Isn't that the point of any Christian gathering?

And speaking of Christians, blogging and gathering, I would like to introduce a new guest blogger for the Boundless Line, Denise Morris. Denise is editor and writer for our sister website TrueU. We look forward to her insight and the unique voice she will bring to our discussion. Welcome Denise.
