When I was in college I read an article about worship by Ron Giese. When I finished the article I said to myself, “I need to know this man”. His approach and ideas were elaborations on thoughts I had been wrestling with for the previous year. I wasn’t headed for seminary and had no specific goals at the conclusion of my college education.
I Googled Ron Giese and found out that he was the Head of the worship department at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. I called Ron and in one phone call he invited me to come and be a part of his program.
I spent one semester learning from Ron before our paths split. That semester was academically and spiritually some of the most fruitful time of my life.

Just put in my notice at FBC and will be leaving at the end of the month. Pray that the new job will be awesome and that God will direct in the church plant area. I got a lead on a church plant position in newnan-havn’t heard back from it yet.

Joel,
Thats very exciting. Please keep me informed and let me know how I can help along the way.
Was Ron at your first God Song conference? If so I think I asked him about the song Clear the Stage that the group from Liberty used in their skit…it was my first time to hear it.
In case any of your millions of blog readers have yet to hear Clear the Stage (by Ross King), this is a cool powerpoint version…

I remember when he came to to help out with Pillar Church. We got to listen to him at your house if I remember correctly.
