    Okay, I'm not sure how he survived that jump.

    Is this a metaphor for ministry somehow?

    A metaphor for ministry? Perhaps...but it's pure Catalyst.

    Was that not amazing?!? I caught it on camera, my husband caught it on video. Love the different angle you got and tweeted it today!

    So why was this something we should care about, but the Christianity 21 gathering is being ignored?

    I went to Catalyst several years ago (read: 8 or 9), and had thought about attending this year...things just got too busy. Oddly, in one conversation with someone, when sharing my thoughts of going and my experience having gone (I was blessed), he said,"Yeah, Catalyst is awesome! It's a circus!!" and I didn't understand. This shed a bit more light.

    Is this really where we are in leadership training? Not just the dive, but the rigging, the lights spasticly scanning the cheering crowd? We may be slipping (have slipped?) into the land of the weird.

    And the point is....to show in real time live the aftermath had Jesus Christ succumbed to his second temptation.

    "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written:

    "'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'" (Matthew 4:6)
