Reflections...

What an amazing time here at Catalyst! It has been amazing to sit and be taught by this incredible group of leaders. I thought I would take some time to share some of my reflections...

1. If you want to build something that lasts, you have to be willing to change whatever you build.

2. Churches that are not open to change are not open to what is sacred and timeless.

3. It doesn't take a leader to kill something that's not working! It DOES take a leader to change what is not working.

4. Three areas to evaluate and reflect on our moral character are: forgiveness, family, and finances. They will provide the feedback necessary to determine our success.

5. There has to be an alignment between our creed and deed. What we say needs to match what we do!

6. Sometimes we need to persevere to hold on to our promises from God, even when we can't currently see anything.

7. Culture rarely changes due to protest or judgment. It requires influence through relationship.

8. We need to line up our finances with God's Word! (Rocket science, huh?)

9. We all should be obligated to take what we learn and put it into practice!

10. When people come together, they can accomplish so much more than they can on their own. Surprising!?!

I pray I take these things and more and become the world changer God created me to be! This was but a few of the timeless truths that will continue to provide direction to my future in ministry.
