Greetings all,I spent the majority of today at a leadership conference and I did it all in the comfort of my own office!
Leadership Network and Catalyst presented a one day leadership seminar for church leaders entitled "the Nines".
The premise was simple: A conference on 09-09-09 that began at 9:09am CDT where speakers from around the globe had no more than 9 minutes to deliver an address to the church on any topic they wanted.
It was amazing.
I got more encouragement and positive reinforcement about where ACC is as a church and the direction we're headed in than I could have gotten anywhere else. And the best part was the price: FREE.
Here are just a few snippets from different speakers that stuck out to me:
"Take off your mask, your fancy hair, your cool clothes and say, 'this is who I am, who God created me to be.'" - Anne Jackson
"Obeying God means obeying Him in the small things as well as the big things." - Scott Hodge
"A movement of God cannot be planned but it must be prepared for." - Perry Noble
"I hope that I can give you inspiration and information that leads to transformation - not stagnation that can breed frustration. I just used five -ations." - Steven Furtick
"Well intentioned but ill informed efforts often eliminate the crucial step toward maturity." - Noel Hekkinen
"Do ministry out of the overflow of the Spirit of God. Seek Him out until you're so full of God that it overflows into every area of your ministry." - Craig Groeschel
"We cannot be a 'sky-is-falling' kind of people - because we know how the story ends." - Larry Osborne
"It's not the church's job to save, fix, or change anyone. That's God's job." - Jim Burgen
"In your world as a leader, don't get so busy in ministry that you forget to fight for your home, your wife, your children." - Reggie Joiner
Awesome stuff.
