Meet a Friend Monday: Todd Littleton

Monday's are for meeting new friends.

Today I want you to meet Todd Littleton. Todd is the Senior Pastor of Snow Hill Baptist Church in Tuttle, Oklahoma. Tuttle is just outside of Oklahoma City. Chances are you've never heard of Todd. Which is too bad, because this guy is brilliant. And he know's a lot of people you've heard of. It's amazing to me how a guy from Tuttle can talk theology and develop deep relationships with writers, artists and scholars from around the world. Todd was the first to redeem the Southern Baptist tribe in my eyes. Todd holds his doctorate from Southwestern in Fort Worth and works with a variety of seminary around the country. I've worked with him at Biblical Seminary for a total of 4 different youth ministry courses there. (Todd is so impressive that I've often hired him as a Riddle Group consultant.)

I met Todd 9 years ago in Minneapolis. I was on sabbatical from church jobs at the time, abstaining from a paycheck from a church and so I found myself on the sleeping on the floor of Spencer Burke and Brian McLaren's hotelroom. I was doing a seminar at the gathering and Spencer introduced me to "a guy from Oklahoma" who had an extra bed in his room. Todd and I have been friends since.

Add Todd to your blog list or invite him to spend time with your staff. You will be better for it.
