#Drive11 Session Notes Part 4: Defying Gravity -...

Don’t go home and try to implement a bunch of change. Let the things you’ve learned, the things that are stirring in you, incubate. Every great or significant thing that has ever happened has come from something that is broken. God makes beautiful things out of the dust. Acts 15:1-31 Certain individuals came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless...

#Drive11 Breakout E Notes: Worship Service...

There is always tension when creating media. How do you create the perfect video, the perfect title package, or the perfect promotion when resources are limited, the people are scarce, and the due dates were yesterday - every week? Creativity through the lens of video begins with a purpose, is refined by an approach, and always defaults to taking action. We Need A Clear Purpose When Creating...

#Drive11 Session Notes Part 3 - @JeffHenderson

There’s no “i” in team, but there is in vision (two, actually). Usually, the “i” in vision is reserved as the responsibility of the point leader. That’s why many organizations never reach their potential. Vision is somehow relegated to one person. This limits everything and everyone, because vision cannot be sustained through one person only. It must be...

#Drive11 Breakout C Notes: Mentoring The Next...

Developing the young leaders that are rising up behind you takes intentional effort. It doesn’t just happen. And if you’re not careful you can accidentally create an environment that discourages young leaders. The question we sould all be asking is: How do we create a culture where the next generation of leaders thrives? We define thrive as having the freedom to be all that God is...

#Drive11 Breakout B Notes: Worship Service...

Most worship services have serval common components, including music and production. Used individually these components accomplish little. When used in a coordinated effort, they combine to create an “unforgettable experience.” The key when programming our worship services is to stay focused on the outcome rather than the ingredients. We Want Sundays To Be Unforgettable The...

Our goal is to empower the next generation of leaders to serve in ministry. Who is the next generation? - The generation that is directly behind you. Whichever generation that is....

#Drive11 Session Notes Part 2 - Andy Stanley

Communicating For Change Your approach to communication should be shaped by the goal of your communication. Your approach trumps your content 100% of the time. When there is a disconnect between what you want to say and how you say it you will fail every time. 18-19 year olds that leave church leave because they’ve been to one. The content may be true and the message may be good, but if your...

Where: Hotel Sierra, Atlanta, GA Coffee: Starbucks, Café Verona Listening To: The Listening: The Listening Pray. Lord teach me from Your word to hear Your voice, understand it, and respond.

#Drive11 Session Notes Part 1 - Andy Stanley

The church won’t be any better led that you how you lead it. You have the amazing ability of being stewards for the spiritual life of this generation. Whatever you do you are extraordinarily important because God has given you the baton and empowered you to lead. The health of the local church in this generation and the next is in your hands. You are stewards of the message of a better...

The Charlatan's Boy by Jonathan Rodgers -...

Publisher’s Description As far back as he can remember, the orphan Grady has tramped from village to village in the company of a huckster named Floyd. With his adolescent accomplice, Floyd perpetrates a variety of hoaxes and flimflams on the good citizens of the Corenwald frontier, such as the Ugliest Boy in the World act. It’s a hard way to make a living, made harder by the memory of...
