Eddie Cox http://www.eddiecox.org/ is founding pastor/planter of Marathon Church, Easley. In most anyone's terms he has accomplished a lot for God. He started with a small God-called group of people in 1997 with the mission to Love All, Serve All (inspired by Hard Rock Cafe'). Over 3000 people worship at Marathon each week. Hundreds cross the line of faith, surrendering their lives to Jesus Christ each year as a direct result of the influence of Marathon Church.

Eddie is one of those leaders . . . you know, the kind that are out to disprove themselves (see yesterday). He and his ministry team just finished reading Geiger's book Simple Church. Geiger is coming to S.C. April '08. Eddie is so excited he can't stand it. He and his team have set out to re-do the entire approach to ministry and discipleship at Marathon inspired by Simple Church principles.

Leave it alone Eddie. You are the founding pastor/planter of Marathon. You are there, man. Don't you know that? You're a rock star. Many of us dream of being where you are. I give up! I've watched Eddie lead for five years. My words to Eddie will fall on deaf ears. He just doesn't get it . . . because he is one of those kind of leaders.

Best thing about yesterday in Columbia was . . . I survived. Love to hear the passion of my boss, Marshall Fagg. He burns with a love for God and a desire to see people discover Jesus. Today, more meetings. Hopefully I will find new ways to disprove myself. Sunday's coming!
