The Update

If you’ve been keeping up with the LIVE Spring Blitz Updates, you’d know that we arrived safely in Duluth this evening. The drive up was a blast, our 4 vehicle caravan meant tons of fun during the drive. There was a thunderstorm, watching of movies, card games, and an all out, loud as can be sing-a-long of “A whole new world” from Aladdin. Nice.

We arrived in Duluth in time to kick things off Spring Blitz style. We are in the arena of the DECC, the same place the UMD Bulldogs play hockey. It’s really cool to see so many other Christian teens all together. The band Remedy Drive led us in worship, those guys are crazy! They were jumping off of everything, it was a blast.

Our seats are the best we’ve ever had at Blitz. We’re usually up in the nosebleeds, but this year we are in the 5th and 6th row. It’s way more fun to be able to see everything right there, even though the 3 giant screens are helpful.

Sean McDowell is the speaker this weekend. He’s a fun guy. We’re going to be talking about Loving God with all your heart. Mark 12:30 is the theme verse. He talked about 5 truths of the heart:

1. The heart reflects who we really are
2. God judges the heart (not the actions/words/etc.)
3. The heart is wicked/deceitful
4. The heart follow the will
5. The heart longs for God

We followed it up with some good questions about the things we’re passionate about in life and what we commit our time to. Luke asked where we were on a scale of 1 to 10 how passionate we were about God. It was interesting because some people said 2 and 3 and some people said 8 and 9, and

everything in between. It’s nice to know we’re at different places and not alone.

Tomorrow morning is almost here already (man, we should sleep!) and we’re excited to start talking about the soul. Thanks for your prayers, we’re having a great time!
