Random Takeaways

Day one of Church Planters is a wrap and I'm wiped. Here are my random takeaways from the past twelve hours.

Church is driven by God and fueled by volunteers.

If you don't need the Gospel more than the people you're sharing it with, you ought not be sharing it with them.

You must learn to develop leaders or the mission will die or kill you and your team.

Systems aren't sexy but they produce success.

On church systems, you can learn them every week or you can learn them once.

You must be bold and fear God...not man.

What's the most important next step?
1. The ability to sense where God is leading.
2. The courage or insanity to actually do it.
3. The leadership to convince a few to come along.

Excuse the sporadic order as I type just moments from sleep with Seinfeld keeping me company. Until next time. Jed.
