Here is my DISC profile, although my actual results had me as a higher ‘S’ than ‘C’. The title is appealing, but I am not sure I like the description.
Here is Jen’s; do you know what you are?

This is going to be a great time on May 3 & 4 raising money for the ministries (strip church & xxxchurch.com) that I am actively involved in. Check out the video and strongly consider jumping on board in 1 of 2 ways:
1. Commit to being a bowler & join us in Vegas – there are some AWESOME! perks. — www.FireproofMinistries.com (see bowlfest on right hand side)
2. Sponsor me as a bowler – click here
Jen & I just got back from “assessment” for church planting. Still processing the highs and lows of the experience… when I am have it sorted through, I will post more about the whole last 2 weeks here. In the meantime here is an article from Seth Godin that I think is pretty interesting and related to what we are charting out to do next.

What are you good at?
As you consider marketing yourself for your next gig, consider the difference between process and content.
Content is domain knowledge. People you know or skills you’ve developed. Playing the piano or writing copy about furniture sales. A rolodex of movers in a given industry, or your ability to compute stress ratios in your head.
Domain knowledge is important, but it’s (often) easily learnable.
Process, on the other hand, refers to the emotional intelligence skills you have about managing projects, visualizing success, persuading other people of your point of view, dealing with multiple priorities, etc. This stuff is insanely valuable and hard to learn. Unfortunately, it’s usually overlooked by headhunters and HR folks, partly because it’s hard to accredit or check off in a database.
Venture capitalists like hiring second or third time entrepreneurs because they understand process, not because they can do a spreadsheet.
As the world changes ever faster, as industries shrink and others grow, process ability is priceless. Figure out which sort of process you’re world-class at and get even better at it. Then, learn the domain… that’s what the internet is for.
One of the reasons that super-talented people become entrepreneurs is that they can put their process expertise to work in a world that often undervalues it.

Vegas + Porn + Seattle Church =
our first run with having a group join us for a “mission trip” to Vegas. As some of you know we plan on doing ALL types of conventions in Las Vegas for churches to join us on a mission trip BUT the trials run happened to be the AVN porn show. Ryan Meeks (Sr. Pastor) and a great crew from EastLake Church in the Seattle area were the BEST group to have our first time through. Heather (groups leader @ EastLake) & I started working together to bring them down to join us just 2 short months ago. Their church got lit up to do this convention after Craig had been to their church to speak about porn and also about our ministry into this area. Be sure to check out www.xxxchurch.tv this week to watch the episode.
Some cool stuff that came out of the trip:
- 1 porn star has expressed a real desire to get out of the industry and has begun the process thanks to the ladies from Eastlake and the gals on our team
- Craig made a weird but promising new connection with an owner of a brothel that wants us to come there and share Christ and serve the girls
- Jake made an in-road with a porn exec. that wants to talk about faith, his mom being a pastor and have an ongoing conversation.
- the first trip went off with out any major snafoo’s & the team learned to share their faith on the convention floor — watch out EastLake! I have a suspicion that you are going to be doing some cool new things when these people get back and going.
- Stephen did a great job avoiding accidents… barely. (Heather & Stephen, it will be the year of the Ryan!)
