In light of Andy's recent hilarious remarks about people talking smack about Northpoint, I've decided to start the Andy Stanley fan club. Since I am the only member at this point, I will elect myself the president. Seriously, I am a huge Andy/ Northpoint fan, and I love the fact that Andy is reading a blog from this obscure guy who's going to school. It just rocks! Membership is free and there are no benefits. Sign up now!


I'm in!

I'm in. Do I get a button?

I'm a seminarian who's a novice to blogs, therefore I'm having difficulty finding the original smack-talking you're refering to. Is there a link somewhere I'm not seeing? Thx.

I'm in, too. Can we come up with a secret handshake and funny hats?
Posted by: Tony Myles | Wednesday, September 07, 2005 at 09:36 PM
Seriously, where's the original link?

Sign me up! Andy Rocks!

I'm in! I ordered 4 buttons already. One for me, my wife, and two boys.

Are you kidding me? Without "Visioneering" and Andy the man Stanley, I wouldn't be planting a church today!
God's favor is all over the guy. I'm way in.

My wife would like a button. My Thirteen year old would prefer to join the Kiss Army.
Posted by: Andy Stanley | Thursday, September 08, 2005 at 08:06 PM
Awesome! Welcome Andy!
This has been the best blogging week ever!
Count me in for the club. Buttons are indeed nice. :)

I want to be in, but I think this club may be getting too big.
Posted by: Mark Walker | Thursday, September 08, 2005 at 09:36 PM
Andy,
We will get that button to you. I can't really help with the Kiss army, but we'll see what we can do.
By the way, thanks for taping a hello to our church for our 5-year anniversary.

Wow Bob, we just got the stamp of approval on the fan club... lol...! "Vote for Andy" Shirts coming soon... send your button and shirt request to: mail@markrodriguez.com

How about an Andy Stanley button and a Louie Giglio hand-buzzer?
Posted by: Tony Myles | Friday, September 09, 2005 at 04:29 AM
I can help make buttons too, i know it's kinda funny, but if you need help, I can help you in my store, Nice! or you can just start an Andy Cafepress.com store and sell the buttons from there - if you have photoshop you're basically set...
let me know if you want help setting it up!
This is not a spam, I really like Andy (I go to Buckhead church), and i've already got a store set up (with other unrelated stuff) if you just wanna use it..

Count me in! As a lead pastor, I've read and preached on both the Best Question Ever and Visioneering. Not only changed my life and ministry, but others in my church as well. What's next? And do I get a button too?

As a next generation leader, I have been toying with starting to blog. Andy has inspired me. This is the first blog or fan club that I have actually ever been interested in joining (besides that one day when I almost started a Lanny Donoho fan club, which actually now that I think about it, his book is called "God's Blogs"...crazy). And while we're still taking suggestions about merchandising, I would like to see an Andy Stanley action figure, or perhaps a bobblehead.

Im a BIG fan do you have XXXXL shirts for sale?
Posted by: Jack Wheeler | Tuesday, September 13, 2005 at 01:00 PM
dude I am so there...I rip off Andys stuff all the time and feed it to my people...
He is one of the guys I would leave San Diego Skyline and work for him for free...
Of course i would have to wait until I recieved my X-Mas Bonus...
Posted by: phill | Tuesday, September 13, 2005 at 04:14 PM
Okay, seriously I want a button and a t-shirt. Can we seriously do this!??!
NPT and their conferences and books have truly changed my ministry life.
