Not necessarily belligerent but great nonetheless

In the spirit of Bill's list of co-belligerents and Laura's suggestion of the conference, I have a few favorites of late to share:

http://www.wreckedfortheordinary.com/ (often provocative, which is a compliment!)
http://www.theotherjournal.com/ (out of Mars Hill Grad School)
http://www.burnsidewriterscollective.com/ (my friend Penny is social justice editor, and I like what they're doing)
http://www.zoecarnate.com/ (amazingly long and good list of "Jesus-infused" sites)

I'm too new at St. Brendan's to assume that all will be interested but I think you'll find some nuggets here.

Also, I attended two conferences at Mars Hill Grad School in 2007. They were life-changing, and I could not recommend them more highly. Learn more at: http://www.mhgs.edu/conference/schedule.asp

(Brief testimony -- "Leadership Crucible" is a chance to "lead" in a very creative, cyber-world, in Seattle, for several days and be critiqued and encouraged, in real time, about your leadership style. Based on Dan Allender's book LEADING WITH A LIMP.

"Story Workshop" is based on Dan Allender's book TO BE TOLD and is about learning to love all the aspects of your life story and thus making all of it available for God's purposes in your life --"grieving your losses in the company of those who will help you reframe them."

Finally, just watch this for goosebumps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k08yxu57NA
I love the idea of how often we fail to see our own glory even when it's there! Watch this as a metaphor for how we see ourselves vs. how God sees us. I'm taking liberties here but in any event, you will be introduced to Paul Potts. I like his story.
