Yesterday I had the great opportunity to attend Catalyst One Day with some staff members. It left me changed and challenged. I am going to share some of the quotes that really stuck out from yesterday.
CRAIG GROESCHEL
“When you delegate tasks, you create followers. When you delegate authority, you create leaders.”
“CULTURE is the shared values we ACT out. If you don’t DO it, you don’t believe it.”
“The longer we believe the lies the harder it is to hear the truth.”
“Build a team that craves and desires helpful feedback.”
“People don’t know what they don’t know they don’t know”
“What we value shapes what our churches do. What do you love in ministry? What breaks your heart on behalf of God?”
ANDY STANLEY
“Your church should be the best place in your community to work.”
“The people under us are supported by us. The point of leading is not to be served”
“Just because you are the best speaker does not mean you have an anointing, we are the body and you are not the head.”
“The greatest thing is love, not loyalty.”
“If you do it for one that does not mean you have to do it for everyone. Fairness ended in the Garden of Eden. Don’t try to be fair be engaged.”
“Unexpressed gratitude is ingratitude”
“Ask: What can I do to help?”
RICK WARREN
Rick Warren had a great lunch time session for young leaders.
“I hope your generation will love the local church like my generation loved the para-church. We got it wrong.”
”You only believe in the Parts of the Bible you do.”
“Build people not buildings.”
“Growing churches require growing leaders.”
“Concerning a Church small or big is not the issue HEALTHY is the issue. Remember a crowd isn’t a church.”
“If you are going to wait to know everything you will never do anything. You have to lead by faith.”
“Everybody has vision at 20, what is impressive is somebody who has vision at 70” “It takes all kinds of churches to reach all kinds of people”
“The desire for approval means you have failed to realize how much God loves you!”
I left Catalyst one day changed and challenged. Thanks to all who invested in my life and ministry!
