What is OneHub?




I heard the announcement in the church over the last several Sundays, the talk about a new type of small group, but maybe a small group on steroids. Elliot Freeman had mentioned it and Ricky Bowlin told me as someone heading up the social media, that I just had to go.

Now, I am a busy gal. I have a full-time job and I have about 4-5 side hustles. This one thing was going to be ANOTHER thing. I say all of this now, knowing full well that I told a group the other night...and now I tell you...that if I have the capacity, I will offer more of myself. All I would really be missing out on are some of the guilty pleasures, like endless-without-a-point internet nothingness or television watching. So I went.

What is OneHub? The subheading tells the story. It's about reaching the lost. When I accepted the role I have in the church with social media it was about one thing only...reaching the lost. I wanted to have a bigger reach than myself to find those that were completely lost or searching. The meeting was opened by Elliot saying that this group would be about disciplining people...and more. I was hooked in the first line. This is exactly what I wanted to do, become equipped and make disciples of men. It's one thing to have your quiet time and read God's word daily. It's quite another to turn his words into application and spread the Gospel. I have read, and as long as someone comes to me and asks the right kind of questions I might be able to have a conversation with you, but being PROactive?
As he went on he talked about a temperature check given monthly to gauge our involvement in reaching out but also where we were in our commitment to spreading the Gospel; how often we were thinking about it. Not only will be learning how to be better witnesses and cultivators of those we are trying to bring to Christ, but we would be held accountable monthly as to whether or not we were trying. I got really excited and on fire for what we could do as a community if we really got into this.

The next item for discussion was a 9/11 rule. Several have probably already heard of this because there are a few Sunday school leaders who have already been going to this group for some time. The point here is you set a daily reminder on your phone. You can incorporate your Alexa or Google Home devices here too if you prefer.
- At 9:00PM 
- you pray for 1 person
- for 1 minute. 
You pray for the one lost person in your life. It can literally be "the lady in the checkout" if that's who you want. You pray daily over that person with the hopes of reaching them. Who would your one person be?

You know the premise, do you really have to join? Probably not. But why wouldn't you? You can do all of those action items on your own and at your home, but here is the long and short of it - we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus. The finger cannot and should not operate apart from the hand. We should be in fellowship with each other and encourage one another. We should hold each other accountable to living out the Great Commission. So won't you join this next month? We will meet again on the 5th of April. Its Palm Sunday and you will have every excuse not to be there...but ask yourself if those excuses are good enough. Meet with us at 3:30 and become fishers of men.

If I Were King...for whatever reason

I was asked where I work this week. It went something like this... "I work for Epic Charter School!" And then I get the..."oh, hm.! And then I am all - you dismissive cuss! I could teach you a few things too. Except I don't really say that, but I am forced to word vomit all over the guy telling him about my school and how it really is closer to his than he thinks. And damnit I am feeling on the defensive and I am good at what I do. I was asked to write an essay this week in one of my Grad classes. The topic was along the lines of Jason James prompting March 23rd, so I will share. Better late than never? If I were King of #Oklaed. Sorry it’s 667 words... I have a beef with public schooling. It is not something housed in your school building. It is housed in your heart and mind. I dislike greatly the competition between schools and districts. I am not talking about the Jenks v Union rivalries.  I abhor that there has to be a huge fight between types of ...

#SXSWedu Day #1 Ramblings

Alright, someone told me right before the opening keynote this morning that by the end of the day my mind would be absolutely blown. I was all like, "Yeah, ok, Ive been to conferences before" And he was all, "But you've never been to SXSWedu" And the I was all like, "Ok, we'll see" Ya'll, wow! This place is like Edcamp meets ISTE meets TED talks. The ideas. and then I get ideas. And then I think that the Ministry of Education would not approve of my ideas. So the opening keynote was Temple Grandin . I had never heard of her before today. She is #amazeballs people. She is a 68 yr old woman that is on the spectrum and also works with the beef industry and more...designing cattle runs to the processing plants. She speaks about her autism and how we should make these kiddos great at their one (or more) thing. Here is a link to her TED talk from 2010. I did not grab a video of her today, but you will see in this video why I instant...

Elevation is King - Guest Blog by Travis Barnes

We met up with the boys around 8PM at the end of the trail for Segment 6. It was an insanely emotional day for us, but  will tell my version of account another time. Let me introduce to you Travis Barnes, my husband and my kids hero. This is his account of the last three days.  The first three days of our Colorado Trail experience are behind us. It’s amazing what can happen in three days. We rolled into Breckenridge today behaving like we’d been gone for weeks, but time is relative as we now know miles are. That’s right, miles are relative. The 500 mile distance of this ride is not impressive. When we left for this trip we could ride 75 miles on the mountain bike with 27 lbs of gear with little problem, then do it again the next day. That being said, the past 3 days have been the hardest riding I have ever experienced in my life. On day two we took a bypass into a town and I was able to text Erin. I told her among other things that, “this is HARD.” Erin knows me better th...
