I sat down today with Anthony Hoisington, our newly hired worship leader and leader of Thursday’s ministry.

As he munched on his cookie and gazed off into the wild blue yonder, here’s what I learned:

Paul: Tell us something about yourself that will surprise us.

Anthony: I love the Andy Griffith show.

Paul: (laughing) Seriously?

Anthony: (not laughing) Seriously.

Paul: (not laughing anymore) Tell us what you do around Northgate.

Anthony: Right now I’m mostly just learning the culture, observing. This Saturday I will lead my first Saturday worship here. In January we will launch our Thursday’s worship service at the south campus and sometime in January I will also begin leading one of our Sunday a.m. worship services here @ the north campus.

Paul: Who’s your favorite author?

Anthony: It changes, but right right now it’s George Barna.

Paul: What’s your favorite book right now?

Anthony: Revolution by George Barna.

Paul: What website do you check out the most?

Anthony: www.barna.org

Paul: What are you most excited about in the coming year around Northgate?

Anthony: I’m most excited about the opportunity that Northgate has to minister to multiple generations and the fact that I get to be a part of that!

Paul: Anything else you want to say?

Anthony: Paul is a great ice skater. (see here for the truth)

Paul: Thank you.
