January 1-4 I attended the 2013 Passion Conference. The four-day conference, held in the Georgia Dome, featured speakers like Beth Moore, Louie Giglio, Francis Chan, and John Piper in addition to worship led by Chris Tomlin, Kristian Standfill, Charlie Hall, Christy Nockles, Matt Redman, Jesus Culture, and David Crowder (plus a short concert by Lecrae). This year’s conference was attended by 60,000 18-25 year olds from all 50 states and 50 different countries. In addition, over $3 million was donated to end modern day slavery as a part of the End It Movement. Passion is about uniting as believers to glorify the name of Jesus Christ through worship with music and preaching.
“If you live for others approval, you will die by their rejection.” - Lecrae
“Jesus is the key that unlocks the mystery of history. Once unlocked, it is clear He’s the center of the story.” - John Piper
Passion is an experience that you can hardly describe without cheapening it in some way. God's presence is so heavily felt in that place, that it would seem impossible to leave unchanged.
