Leadership Network is planning a repeat of last year’s #thenines event.
The event takes place for nine hours on Sept. 9, and features nine-minute messages from folks around the “Christian sphere” geared towards other Christian leaders.
Last year, they did a great job of mixing up the conversation, and this year they’re hoping to do more of the same — but allowing others to submit and vote for their “favorites.”
I could probably be nit-picky and say I think it’s silly that we’re voting for our “favorite Christian speakers” but instead I chose to take advantage of the opportunity and nominate some folks I think deserve to (and should) be heard and I invite you to do the same.
I nominated Greg Russinger, Jay Bakker, Mark Horvath, Shaun Groves and Cornel West.
I also voted for Andrew Jones (Tall Skinny Kiwi), Mike Rusch, Charles Lee, Shane Claiborne, Skye Jethani and Brian McLaren.
And I’m tempted to add Trucker Frank to the mix as well — but I have a feeling he’d turn them down :-).
Who do you think the Christian community needs to hear from? What voices have been left out?
You can vote online at http://twtpick.in/4k and you’ll apparently need a Twitter account to vote and nominate.
