first up is Todd.
i met Todd through an art fair he was hosting for his church which you can check out at:

Todd came to know the Lord as an adult before going in to back surgery (crazy, awesome story)
ever since then God has led him and his family on an amazing ride from residing in Ohio and being fully involved in the corporate world to becoming a church planting pastor in Atlanta
He has an amazing story, but even better, an amazing heart
It's so refreshing to sit down over coffee, Java Monkey seems to be our place of choice, and hear how Todd and his small community are being used by Christ to radically impact his community for His Glory
It's cool to hear how this community has embodied Christ in such a real way that many of the ones whose lives have been radically changed were once burned and fed up with the institution and religion of what we often like to call "church"
However, because of Todd's heart and the power of Christ, this community has figured out that church is something that you are and live out, not just some event or show that you go watch
make sure to check out the site and see how you can get a glimpse or even join in on what God is doing through this community of Christ followers
thanks Todd for what you do and for being a refreshing voice in my life
