Catalyst-my notes
I didn’t disappear, I am recovering from Catalyst. The Catalyst Conference was exciting, touching and provoking. Here is my take away from the speakers.
Andy Stanley
Those who influence us the most have the least authority over us.
Moral authority is where people perceive there is an alignment between our creed and deed.
Forgiveness
Message is we have been forgiven we should forgive.
Family
Prioritize
Does wife feel like the church is mistress?
Do husband or kids feel neglected?
Finances
Our financial houses are in order.
Give 10% to God
Save 10%
Live on rest
Jim Collins
To do list
Get diagnostic tool get it from JimCollins.com
How many key seats are filled w/ right people
Have young people around you
Choose mentors
Build a counsel ask questions
Turn off gadgets- white space days for thinking
To be a level 5 leader need humility.
Steven Furtick
Between the promise and the payoff is a painful process
Brenda Salter McNeil
Acts 1:8; 2:1-12
Jerusalem- where we are comfortable
Judea- subcultures
Samaria-hostile to us don’t want to go or identify with them. Where gospel is tested.
Can’t stay in our holy huddles.
Seth Godin
Tribes want movement.
If you want to grow don’t let rules or religion stand in the way.
Tribe wants to connect, create meaning, make a difference, be noticed, matter, and be missed
Craig Groeschel
The It is the something special of God
If you lost It need to do something drastic.
1. God heal me
2. God stretch me
3. God ruin me just like when I was saved
Tim Sanders
We create abundance by giving and love.
Good is the new great.
Law of interdependence-success relies on other peoples success
Law of observed reciprocity-contagious compassion
Give until it hurts when times are tough.
Dave Ramsey
5 enemies of church
Poor communication
Gossip-when a negative is discussed with anyone who can’t solve the problem
Unresolved disagreements
Lack of shared purpose
Sanctioned incompetence
When unity is valued the team will act to keep these Enemies from the gate
Frankin Graham
Bring honor to the name of Jesus
Don’t compromise the gospel
Andy Crouch
Cultivate- taking what is already good and preserving it
Create new cultural goods
Culture only changes when people dare to change it.
Matt Chandler
1 Timothy 4:1-16
People know about Jesus but don’t know him
If using Jesus for what he can do for me instead of just having relationship is idolatry
Guard your life and doctrine closely.
Andy Stanley
Become preoccupied with those you haven’t reached as opposed to those you are trying to keep
Be a student not a critic
Pay attention to those breaking the rules they’re often the problem solvers
Acknowledge what’s not working and own up to why you are unwilling to do anything about it.
Don’t let success overshadow your vision.
