February Update

Thinking back to where we left off with our last update, it seems like time has flown! After a great holidays in Virginia and North Carolina with family we were back in Denver and really hit the ground running! Being away from Denver for a few weeks gave us a great appreciation to be back [...]

Year-end update

We saw ten different states this year. We drove 1500 miles across country moving from Georgia to Colorado. We drove 1200 miles from Colorado to Tennessee for Thanksgiving. We flew from Colorado to North Carolina for Christmas. We moved three times and lived in three different houses. I think to say that this was the [...]

October Update

Fall has arrived in Denver, and it feels a bit like winter back in the south!! We had a very unseasonably cold week last week and actually got our first snow! The boys were so excited to get outside and start playing in it. I think they’ve fully adapted to life in Colorado! A lot [...]

August Update

Things just don’t seem to slow down. For some reason I always associate summer as a time of relaxation and less responsibility. That must just be an artifact in my memory from long ago, because this summer has been anything but “lazy” around the Redden household!

Growing Tomatoes

There is a small patch of our back yard that the previous owner obviously used as a garden. It is a bare patch of dirt, roughly 6 ft x 20 ft set off to the side of the yard with a nice sprinkler system that you can move around to water the plants. I’ve never [...]

June Update

Life continues to stay busy at the Redden household, and so much has happened since our last update. For starters, the Redden household has a new address! On May 1 we finally moved into our house. We would definitely not recommend moving twice in four months to anyone, but we are so grateful that we [...]

Drive09: Session 3

It was another great day of conversations and learning here at Drive. I missed my breakouts again this morning, because I still can’t walk five feet without running into someone that wants to have a half-hour conversation! It has been great to share stories from Denver, talk about what we’re learning on our journey, and [...]

Drive09: Session 2

Today was a great day of connecting with old friends and fellow leaders from churches planted by North Point. I didn’t make it to any of the breakouts I signed up for, because I couldn’t walk more than 5 feet down the hall without running into someone that turned into a half-hour conversation! God scripted [...]

Drive09: Session 1

It’s hard to believe I’m at another conference just one week after Q. But as fate would have it, this week I’m at North Point for the Drive 09 conference. After spending eleven years at North Point as an attendee, seven as a staff member, this is definitely a bit of a homecoming for me. [...]

Q 2009: Day 3

Here are my notes from day 3 of the 2009 Q conference. Overall Q was, again, an amazing experience. I was challenged in a variety of ways, but here are a few specific things I’m thinking about as I return to Denver:

In what ways am I “privileged,” and how can I leverage that for creative [...]
