Craig Groeschel: Final Session of Day One

Craig Groeschel doesn't disappoint. Some great thoughts to finish up day one...

• You have everything you need to reach the people God has called you to reach.
• Limited resources + Increasing passion = Exponential innovation.
• Our problem is not limited resources... it's diminishing passion.

And his four main points...

1. Innovative Leaders Heal the Sick
   It's not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
   "To reach sinners, you have to sit in the smoking section."
   Who is God calling you to reach that no one else is reaching?
2. Innovative Leaders Love to Break the Rules
   Unlike NASCAR drivers, innovative leaders turn right.
   The church has more ungodly, stupid rules than anyone else.
   Today's contemporary is tomorrow's traditional.
   What is God calling you to try that hasn't been done before?
3. Innovative Leaders Offend Pharisees
   The things closest to the heart of God are what offend Pharisees most.
   Don't worry when people criticize you; worry when they don't.
   What new thing is God calling you to create that will be hated today?
4. Innovative Leaders Redefine Success
   Stop trying to build attendance and start building the Church.
   Success is not what we think it is.

Saw him last year at the Association of Related Churches conference... He is an amazing communicator who actually has something to say. Thanks for the notes.
