Catalyst One Day
I had the opportunity to go to Atlanta last week for Catalyst One Day and the speakers were Andy Stanley and Craig Groeschel. I went down with one of the guys in my pastoral small group and we had a great time connecting in the car (about 20 hours total). He is also the one that hooked me up with the free ticket (Thanks, Bruce). Here are few highlights:
New triggers momentum.
Adding anything new, by definition generates some kind of momentum
It is triggered by one of three things, new leadership, new direction, new programs or a new product.
Look for ways to upgrade your presentations (David always kills Goliath).
You rarely regain momentum by simply doing what you did to create it in the first place.
Limitations are often the breeding ground for innovations.
God often guides what he doesn’t provide. Peter ... silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have ...
We must love the long term game enough to endure the short term pain.
We must love the mission enough to make the difficult call.
What Makes You Mad?
We got back Friday evening and the next day Patsy and I went down to the Strip District in Pittsburgh and had a great time checking out the different stores and smelling the different foods and getting a few almond macaroons. When we were leaving, a mini van passed us on the right and nailed a parked car. It did not even hit the brakes-it just kept on moving. I tried my very best to catch it so I could get the plate number and call the police, but I got stuck at a light. I could not believe how mad that made me. It really ticked me off that he did that, and it bothered me that I could not catch his vehicle to turn him in. In the grand scheme of things, this is a small injustice, but it still irritated the heck out of me. What kind injustice makes you mad?
