EP 195 – THE IMPORTANCE OF SPIRITUAL RENEWAL

Hey Bootcampers, this week the guys have been sweating it out at the SBC Annual meeting in New Orleans LA, the Big Easy! Aside from great food and connecting with friends we took some time to stop down and discuss the important work of renewal in a Pastor's life and direct you to a great event we have coming in late August, The Replant Summit.  We'd love for you to join us. When it comes to the the church, especially in Replants and Revitalizations the most important work is not structural or administrative the most important work is first and foremost is Spiritual. What are some of the keys to living a renewed life? yJoy - Psalm 51:12 Renewing our minds  Ephesians 4 Put off the ways of the world Pray regularly as a priority Worship Resting in Christ  as the foundation of your joy What about you Bootcamper?

Back at it again. Bob. I hope you're ready for the next episode of the bootcamp. This, this one will come out. Right as we are, making our way outta the convention center, the last day of the Southern Baptist Convention down in the wonderful, amazing city of New Orleans. And, if you're listening to this, the day it's released and you're in New Orleans, you should probably go by the seminary this afternoon because I have heard that they have ordered like the entire Gulf of Mexico's worth of oysters and they're char grilling them. and we're gonna be honoring, a former bootcamp guest, Fred Looter, with the Fred Looter Student Center there at the New Orleans Seminary, with Charcoaled oysters from Dragos, which is a pretty great opportunity. even if you don't like oysters, I would, I would encourage you to try a charred oyster. I think. I think you might be surprised. Bob Bickford: I agree Jimbo a hundred percent. And, a Charcoaled oyster is basically a delivery device for butter and garlic. And, Barb, who [00:01:00] hates oysters, barb's, my wife, she can't say in oysters, but she actually kind of liked the char grilled oysters that we had last time we were in New Orleans for the Mi re planter event. So I counted that as a victory. A culinary victory, Jimbo, I checked that box and she has even said, and so I know she's now discipled in the greatness of the char grilled oyster because shes will say to others, that was really pretty good. And that's a statement. That's a statement. So, JimBo Stewart: that'll, that'll renew your mind, your heart, and your soul, right there. So, then as, as we're leaving S B C, you know, I'm predicting that it was all peace and tranquility, great, amounts of unity we're on display, towards the mission and what the heartbeat of the SVC is all about, and that we all left super encouraged, and ready to, to charge on forward. Bob Bickford: Yes, Jimbo. That is our, prayer that we're praying for. And, I will, I hear that word and I affirm that word and amen. That [00:02:00] word. JimBo Stewart: But just in case that's not reality and just in case. You don't leave super encouraged. I wanted to make sure that, today's episode that comes out while you're driving home or you're sitting in the airport, which welcome to the new New Orlea
