		<description><![CDATA[Here is a fun little video of how we kicked off Easter 2012 at Mosaic. If nothing else, I hope it gives you a laugh or brings a smile to your face. However, I thought it might also be helpful to share a a few words on why we do things like 80&#8242;s covers on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple days ago we had the great opportunity of having our first ever baptism service at Mosaic! On Sunday morning, seven men and women stepped up to publicly proclaim their faith in Jesus Christ. It was awesome. Nevermind that one of our amps caught on fire last week, or that we inadvertantly flooded the back of the Bourbon Theater on Friday when we broke a water pipe retrieving Rivertree's baptismal from the rafters. (Ah, the joys of church planting.) On Sunday, none of that mattered...

We knew that people were excited about what God was preparing to do in and through this new community, but we were unprepared for the 250+ people who would join us on Sunday!

		<description><![CDATA[This past week I was talking to a coworker about what it means to follow Christ. He had committed his life to Christ a couple years ago (he was actually led to Christ by Mosaic Lincoln&#8217;s new creative director) but had fallen away from faith until just recently. He is very much a new, young [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been told that every great story involves great conflict. Ask any church planter and they will tell you that church planting involves its fair share of conflict. The conflict comes in many forms: discouragement, exhaustion, criticism (sadly, often from other Christians and even pastors who are threatened by what you are doing), missed [...]]]></description>

The church he pastors is just a few years old and they are still getting their feet under them in a lot of ways. They&#39;ve been back and forth between [...]]]></description>

Everywhere I turned – every organization, every denomination and every mentor that had been down this road before kept asking me about my “call.” “Are you called to plant this church?

At first glance this might not seem like a big deal. After all, many Christians would nod their head in agreement with this statement. The mind of the seasoned Christ [...]]]></description>
