I am inspired by taking things I do well now, and finding a way to do them better.
If I could sit down with one person, who would it be & why?
Jared Allen. I know there are more deep thinking answers to this question, but I think the combination of humor and awesome exuded by Jared Allen would be too good to pass up.
I’m a Texan through and through and have been married for 5 years to the coolest woman ever and have 2 dogs who try my patience and teach me about life on a daily basis. I am a bit of an oddball and have a unique perspective on life. Follow me on twitter = lumberjackgreg

I am inspired by the struggles in life. Daily, people find a way to rise above themselves and the obstacles they face to obtain greatness. I think it’s possible for everyone to succeed at something, you just need to find what you’re good at, and what you’re passionate about and run like you stole something with reckless abandon towards your goals!
I have a wonderful, tall, hilarious, random husband named Joshua. We are incredibly blessed to have our adorable little boy, Caleb. We love to play music together, goof off at the disc golf course and wrestle with our two lab mixes, Sarge and Puma. We are very excited to be a part of a missional church plant and to connect with our community in an intentional way. I’d love to connect with you on Twitter: KristenParkhrst

I am inspired by great music. It really gets me going.
If I could sit down with one person, who would it be & why?
My great grandfather, William Gaulden. I’ve heard all about what an amazing, Godly man he was and can’t wait to meet him one day.
I’m passionate about building relationships, learning new things and challenging myself to stay out of my comfort zone. I love listening to live music, playing sports and creating art all with one purpose…to point those around me in the right direction. Follow me on Twitter: LauraBurrus

I am inspired by being around leaders, who challenge me in ways I haven’t thought of, who believe in me to accomplish the challenge and hold me accountable until it’s been accomplished. Competition always inspires me, as well.
I was born in Texas. I am married with two teens. I am enjoying my job at faithHighway and planting a church in North Austin.

-When people leave a mess behind for someone else to clean up -Any other team in the Big 12 other than Texas -Waking up early on Saturday mornings -The length of time it takes to smoke a brisket |
I am inspired by the Bible, other success stories, prayer and answers to prayer and seeing others benefit from my help.
What’s my philosophy on media and the church?
Media is a diverse range of tools that can drive people to the church that will hopefully drive people to Christ. It can be an amazing way to connect with people in a way that can’t be done on Sunday mornings.
Summarizing who I am in just a few short sentences is more difficult than I had imagined. But the most important things of note are that I am child of God who is seeking daily to be conformed to the image of Christ, and I am the wife of the perfect man for me. A few other random facts are that I am from Alaska (yes, Texas is considerably hotter; no, I did not live in an igloo), and I have a pug, a Siamese cat, 3 fish, and a tree in my living room!

-peas -olives -sweltering humidity -dog drool |
I am inspired by the long standing faith of others; those people who have seen many good and bad times and who have found a solid grounding in God’s Word and prayer. I am also greatly encouraged to be around couples who have been married many decades and are still madly in love.
