BRANDED: A Creel Coaching Series

September 5, 2007

This fall we will relaunch the Creel Coaching lunches with BRANDED, a special lunchtime series featuring special guests, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches and opportunities to connect with other Christian leaders.

With this new format we’ll invite some of our friends to come in to share the stories of how they’re walking in step with God’s vision for their lives. Part encouragement, part equipping and part networking, this should be the best Creel Coaching Series yet.

But perhaps most exciting, we’re featuring a new low price - $0. That’s right, you can enjoy this series for the same price as a drink from the water fountain–assuming of course said water fountain isn’t included in your monthly rent payment or water bill, but is instead paid for by your employer or located in a public venue such as a mall or park.

The series kicks off Thursday, Sept. 20, from 11:30-12:30. Courtney Doctor, a gifted teacher who has just walked in faith to produce a professional DVD for three national speaker’s bureaus, is our first special guest. Courtney loves God’s Word and believes she is called to bring it alive through a speaking/teaching ministry.

Five years ago, Courtney enjoyed a number of engagements across the country before God literally appeared to close the door on her ministry:

“I felt like a horse at the starting gate, chomping at the bit for it to open. At the last minute, the jockey decided to turn back to the stall! I didn’t get it. All I wanted was to serve my King and have my life count for something in His Kingdom. Why was I sidelined? I quickly realized that God is much more concerned with doing something in me than through me and the first has to be prioritized over the second.

“God was in the process of refining, changing, conforming, strengthening, humbling, equipping and stripping me of so many entanglements. His purposes in our lives are always bigger and greater than our own.

“I am so thankful that God does not allow us to be comfortable for long! Not that waiting ever became easy, but it did start to feel safe. After five years of feeling very much reigned in, God used three days to alert me that I was to change direction. He wasn’t changing anything. He knew His plans from before the foundations of the world, but I would have to change course to follow Him.”

Don’t miss the chance to hear Courtney tell her story. We’ll have a full list of guests shortly, so be sure to check back soon!

To register, please contact Todd at 316.612.0300, ext. 14, or use the contact form.

We can’t wait to see you on the 13th!
