649 Leadership Quotes: Timeless Truths From The 2013 Passion, Exponential,

Orange, Chick-Fil-A Leadercast Conferences

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown himas you have helped his people and continue to help them. Hebrews 6:10 (NIV)As a member ofThe Rocket Company, I have the privilege of attending some of thegreatest Christian conferences possible. During the first half of 2013, four events inparticular stood out.

Passion 2013 was a historic event as 60,000 students descended upon the Georgia Domefor an amazing time of worship and to bring attention to the 27 million trapped in slaveryaround the globe.

Exponential 13 took place in Orlando during the month of April. The focus of thisconference was DiscipleShift. While you may be unfamiliar with word, this group of

church planters has a deep desire to see churches more effective at making and releasingdisciples.

Orangeis a Childrens Ministry Conference that every adult should attend. While there,I made it a point to attend as many Pastors Tracks as possible. A little previewthePastors Lunch is the best session I have attended this year. Dont miss that chapter.

Chick-Fil-A Leadercastwas a great way to conclude the years first half. A quality mixof business and Christian leaders convened to address a subject desperately needed in theleadership communitysimplicity. As you read the comments provided, make note thatgenius is making complicated things simple, not simple things complicated.

These events featured many incredible leaders such as Andy Stanley, Francis Chan,Louie Giglio, Condoleezza Rice, John Maxwell, and others. Their insights have beencaptured and provided for you throughout this Ebook.

I have also provided two bonus sessions for you. Jeff Henderson, Campus Pastor atGwinnett Church of North Point Ministries, came to The Rocket Company offices tospeak into the lives of our staff. His thoughts were recorded for you as well as a sessionCrawford Loritts conducted at Fellowship Bible Church on effective preaching andteaching. His 101 insights are a highlight of this Ebook.

If you learn from and apply the lessons provided by these experts of their craft, you willbe a better leader.

Thanks for reading. I look forward to bringing you more key learnings from additionalChristian leadership events throughout the year.

Orange Conference

Disney Executive Brian White

I had the privilege of attending a session for senior Christian leaders by Brian White,elder ofDiscovery Churchin Simi Valley, CA and employee ofDisney. I wanted toshare his thoughts with you on one of the worlds greatest companies.

Disney Thinks Orange.

1. Walt Disney was a man with big ideas. He noticed most parents were bored andthe children did not want to be there.

2. He was 50 yrs. old when he came up with the big idea of parents and childrenhaving fun together.

3. EVERY family member should enjoy church.4. Each person who attends church should get something out of it.

Honor The Past Without Living In It

1. If Disney made it all about nostalgia, the world would pass them by.2. Walt Disney wasnt really a nostalgic person. We can ill afford to rest on our

laurels, even in times to retrospect. Times and conditions change so rapidly wemust keep our aim constantly on the future.

3. Walt was fine with Mickey Mouse changing his appearance over the years.4. Disney bought Marvel for guys in their 20-somethings.5. We must never forget it was all started by a mouse.6. The decision to go into movies (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) established

the next 60 years of the company.7. If the church ignores technology, we will pay a price.8. Our church is 110% interested in reaching the next generation.

Being A Good Brand Steward

1. We own one thingintellectual property. A white t-shirt costs $10. Throw amouse on it and it costs $25.

2. A brand is like a bank account. Everything you do puts value in or takes valueout of that brand.

3. The cheap and safe model makes money but takes value away from the brand.4. We invented Swampy and the other brands started calling us. We added value to

the bank account by creating a character.5. Jesus Christ, the gospel message, is the most important brand that has ever

existed. Everything I do, every time I share the gospel, every time I start aministry I affect the brand.

6. Am I cheapening peoples perception of the gospel or am I cheapening thebrand?

7. Sometimes improving the brand is getting out-of-the-way of the next person witha great idea.

Dont Even Try To Please Everybody

1. We dont try to please the demanding fan and the hater. The demanding fan hassuch a high opinion of your company that they have a narrow view of it. A hater

hates you. They dont believe what you believe. They dont have the samevalues.2. We care about making the best products we can make knowing some people will

think we lost our way.3. Some people want their FREE back. How do you please someone like that?4. Becoming obsessed with what people think is the quickest way to forget what

God thinks. Craig Groeschel

The Ideation Process Is Critical

1. If you have a bad ideation process, you will never have good ideas.

2. In Blue Sky Meetings, there are no bad ideas.3. What if we build a theme park where no one knows the name Disney? TokyoDisneyland is now the most profitable of all the parks.

4. Art is a team sport. There is no way for one person to do a piece of artanymore.

5. Any idea that comes forth can be a great idea even if it is not from a person youexpect.

6. For churches, the visionaries need to be setting direction but you need anideation process to make the ideas come at.

7. Crazy ideas needs to be entertained.

Concentrate On Psychographics, Not Demographics

1. Psychographics is getting into the mind of your customer, the person walkingthrough your door.

2. Think like a compassNeedsWantsStereotypes (Positive, Negative)Emotions.

3. We want lines to be there (Disneyland). Its a sign that things are successful.4. Someone comes to church on a Sunday morning, what is their need? What is

their want? What are their stereotypes (positive, negative)? What are theemotions feel as people come in?

Great Staff Members Require Three Yeses

1. What do I get to do?2. Who do I get to work with?3. Am I a valued contributor?

Synergy + Focus = Synchronized Energy

1. Creativity + Innovation is the #1 thing.2. You might have a lot of siloed ministries. Is anyone looking at all of it seeing

how it connects?

3. Scrum is when a whole bunch of people go down the field together hoping toscore. We manage scrum principles to managing projects.4. In my 15 year career at Disney, there is nothing that has made more progress in

my career than implementing a Scrum Board.5. No one is an enemy anymore, because everyone is in a scrum together.

Michael Lukaszewski

Michael Lukaszewski ofThe Rocket Company(and oh by the way my boss) gave a greatmessage on helping pastors and church leaders better connect with their audience.

1. If you can speak to a room full of teenagers, that takes some skill. I tell pastors

if they want to improve to speak to teenagers. They wont put up with stuff.2. I improved my communication by speaking to a room full of people who didnt

want to be there.3. Most presentations fall flatPeople endure it.4. The missing ingredient is connectivity. Connectivity is the art of connecting

your message to your audience by capturing their attention in order to engagetheir hands and hearts.

5. Connection, not information, makes a difference.6. When you connect with your congregation, that is when they pay attention. That

is when the Holy Spirit gets through.7. If you cant answer the question of what is the single most persuasive idea (in

your sermon), then know no one in your audience will know either.8. People remember stories. People remember statements.9. Remembering statements dont happen because we preach. They happen

because they were crafted.10.At the 10 minute mark, the brain starts wondering when this will be over.11.Steve Jobs comes out with something new and interesting every 10 minutes.12.A great communicator does not give the brain time to get bored.13.Formulas create freedom.14.Turn ideas into word pictures so everyone can understand it.15.We remember things even if theyre wrong because theyre wrong.16.Political writers use echo all the time. An echo is a word or phrase and repeating

it in the 2nd half of your sentence.17.Forgiven people forgive.18.Proverbs is almost all contrast. The righteous do this. The wicked do

that. Would you rather die from something or for something.19.A hook is repeating it over and over and over again.20.Information is life-changing but it is how it is packaged that causes the audience

to lean in.21.Your sermon preparation should start with the scripture. I dont think your

sermon should. You start your sermon with where your congregation is. Jesusdid this.

22.The people attending your church on Sunday already believe something aboutwhat youre talking about.

23.If you start with where people are, they will lean it and you can take them on a

journey.24.Having a topic is not the same as having a point.25.People used to come in with an automatic Im going to listen to the

pastor. They dont do that anymore.26.If people like you, they will listen to you.27.One of the most important things you can do in the first five minutes of the

message, is to do something to make people like you.28.People dont always like to listen to the experts. Sometimes they like to listen to

a fellow struggler.29.Likability is the single most important quality of a pastor. Vance Havner30.Assume the worst. Assume that your congregation or audience could care less

about what you have to say. If you do that, you will do the hard work it takes toconnect.31.You have to go through the process to get a product.32.What God has called you to is important.

Carey Nieuwhof

This morning I had the privilege of attending a session for senior Christian leaders by myfriendCarey Nieuwhof, Senior Pastor ofConnexus Community Churchin Toronto on thesubject of change.

In my opinion, Carey has the best leadership blog on the internet. To get additional

thoughts from this incredible leader, you can check it out his blog by clickinghere.

1. Leadership can sometimes be lonely.2. If you look at where the church is going, change is going to be on the agenda.3. The longer I lead the less I trust myself.4. There is a difference between whether you are doing something or are you doing

it well.5. Change is exhausting.6. I will be letting a younger generation make more and more calls as I move into

my 50s. They have a better pulse on todays culture.7. Many churches have frozen into a particular year. Some are in the 50s. Some

are in the 60s. Some contemporary churches are frozen in the 90s. They arentcontemporary anymore.

8. Sometimes you have to say, Youre a praying person. Im a prayingperson. We both love Jesus. Now lets talk about strategy.

9. Spiritual leadership can become a mask for conflict.

5 Shifts That Help Create An Appetite For Change

Shift OneUnderstand Why People Resist Change

1. People crave what they already like.

2. Our cravings form behavioral patterns. People who attend your church love itthe way it is. That is why they are there. The people who dont attend yourchurch dont.

3. People change when the pain associated with the status quo is greater than thepain associated with change.

4. Leaders have a greater appetite for change than those who follow. This createstension in your church. You behave one way as a leader and another way as afollower.

Shift TwoPlot Trajectory To Determine Whats At Stake

1. Unimplemented change eventually becomes relief or regret.2. As a leader you must decide if you want your story to be about relief or regret.3. Incremental change ushers in incremental results.4. 60% of those who attend Connexus have no church background.5. The Kingdom of God really, really demands our best.6. Radical change has the potential power to usher in radical results.7. (Regarding change) the last 10% is the hardest. Because the people who resist

change still have something to hold on to and now youre taking that away.8. Change can happen in five years. Transformation takes seven.9. Four Sundays a month is disappearing. Regular attendance in now 2-3 Sundays

a month.10.Plot out where you will be if you dont change. Plot out where you could be if

you do change.11.Your job as a leader is paint a picture of the future and call people to it.12.The greatest enemy of our future success is your current success.

Shift ThreeRaise The Level Of Discontent

1. Create discontent in a good way.2. Out of discontent great things get birthed.3. Create discontent out of the potential of your mission, the progress of your

mission, the gap in your mission of what is and what could be, the urgency ofyour mission.

4. As leaders, you are dreamers. You see great things of what could be.5. Transfer the tension that comes with the appetite for change from the leader to

the community.6. When you cast vision, focus twice as much as why you do what do rather than

what and how. Why unites, while what and how divide.7. The only leadership question that unites people is Why?8. Only the most selfish people say I dont care about the rest of the world. They

can go to hell.9. Communicate the need for change in concentric circles. Dialogue with the

core. Get input from committed people. Give information to thecongregation. Give vision to the crowd. And finally, give an invitation to thecommunity.

10.Getting input from 100s and 1000s of people in your church can kill change.11.Dont look for consensus. Consensus kills courage. Change never happenswhen everyone has a say.

12.You will never get consensus.13.You are a leader because you will do things other people dont do.14.Reserve decisions exclusively for the body that must make decisions.

Shift FourPrepare For Drama

1. We are attracted to the drama in other peoples lives but resist it in our own.2. We pay for drama.

3. Most Christians would forbid their children to participate in the Bible stories weread to them.4. Most Christians pray for a changed outcome and then pray against any drama

necessary to bring the outcome about.5. There is no story without drama. You want the right kind of drama in your

drama.6. To lead effectively introduces the drama necessary for the outcomes to change.

Shift FiveNever Arrive

1. Focus on where you are going, not when youll arrive.2. When you stop changing, you die.3. Value experimentation.4. I dont know where the church is going the next 10 years, but it is going to

require a lot of experimentation.5. Embrace failure as a step toward progress.6. Celebrate the progress you make.7. A lasting appetite for change develops naturally in people and organizations who

truly embrace their mission.

1. Words are strategically used in questions.2. Good questions inform. Great questions transform.3. By the time we reach the 8th grade, the average person is only asking 2-3

questions a day.4. Our education system is driving out curiosity. Were training them to answerquestions.

5. Great leaders are always asking questions.6. The most successful people are continually asking questions.7. We can become so obsessed with whats next that we miss the now. And by

missing the now, we often miss whats next.8. At some point life happens.

Andy Stanley

1. We have for generations, Evangelicals perceived ourselves as being themajority. Anytime that happens, they speak with an element of authority whetherthey have that authority or not.

2. Were not the majority anymoreWe keep talking like were the majority andwe look foolish.

3. In the first century they knew they werent the majority. They were lion food.4. Once upon a time a handful of people believe Jesus raised from the dead. 2000

years later a third of world believes that. Its going to be OK.5. Whenever youre in the majority, you outreach your authority.6. Approach determines peoples response to what we have to say.7. We must adapt our approaches to connect with our target audiences.

8. How do you win as many as people as possible? I change my approach.9. My goal isnt to be right. My goal isnt to make a point. My goal is to win thoseunder the law.

10.My goal isnt for people who agree with me to agree with me.11.I adjust my approach depending on my audience.12.There is a goal and an approach. When you prioritize the approach over the

goal, youre out of business.13.You have inherited an approach that assumes consensus among biblical

authority.14.Engaging people with the text has more to do with your approach than the

scripture.15.We live in a world that does not view the scriptures and Bible the same way you

do.16.Anytime you choose a passage and stay there, this is a win in a biblically

illiterate culture.17.A Bible story is a terrible word. Its better than a story. We think it actually

happened. Its not a story. Its history.18.Bring your energy to the text.19.Nobody reads anything because its inspired. You read things because you want


16/33

15

to read it and discover its true.20.Give people permission not to believe or obey the scriptures. I Cor 5:12-

13 When you give the permission not to believe or obey, they are more likely tobelieve or obey.

21.When you give non-Christians an out, they begin to lean in.

22.The attraction of the church is looking at all of those one-anothers one-anothering one-another. They will want to be a part of that.23.The attraction of the early church was looking at how they love one another.24.We dont believe Jesus is the Son of God because the Scripture is inerrant. We

believe Jesus is the Son of God because Jesus rose from the dead.25.The foundation of our faith is not the Bible. The foundation of our faith is an

event in history.26.Weve got to teach in a way that always ties things back to Jesus.27.Our approach that weve used has set our children up for disaster in college.28.The foundation of your faith is not historical Adam and Eve. The foundation of

your faith is that people who expected to find a body did not find a body.

29.Dont refer to the Bible as a book. The Bibles not a book. Its way better than abook.30.Cite authors, not the Bible.31.Every single time you say something about the author you tie that author to

history.32.We shouldnt expect rationale people to think Jesus raised from the dead because

the Bible says so.33.Dont ever use the phrase biblical marriage again ever. Can you even think of a

good biblical marriage? Use the term Christian marriageJust go home for aday, you dont even need to believe this, and submit to one another.

34.I submit to Sandra out of reverence of what Jesus did for me.35.Acknowledge the odd as odd. There are some odd things in the Bible. Dont be

afraid of that.36.You believe the Old Testament is true because Jesus believed the Old Testament

is true.37.Dont create the impression that one must choose between faith and science.38.Science is the search for natural explanations.39.Just say, Oh, so thats how God did it.40.We want people to find natural causes. We want people to find out the reasons

why things work the way they work.41.It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles

who are turning to God.Acts 15:18 NIV

Jon Acuff on Social Media

1. Its easy to go viral. Its difficult to go vital.2. The best way to make sure something doesnt viral is to try to make something

go viral.3. Social media has leveled the playing field.4. Now is a great time to be a leader.5. There are encore careers. There are 55 yr. olds who are starting their career

10.If we get the principles right, the technology is just a means.11.Honesty is the most important thing in social media.12.The people you are trying to reach have been exposed to more talent than anyone

in history.13.There is not a person in this room who would say we have gotten more honest in

the last 20 years.14.Getting caught doesnt make you honest. It makes you exposed.15.The next generation grew up around Marketing and they can spot it.16.You can only control the starting line. You have no control over the finish line.17.As leaders, its our job to go first.18.When you go first, you give everyone else the gift of going second.

19.If you wont admit weakness, they wont trust anything else you say.20.What fear fears is community.21.With social media, you have the tools to create a space where someone can say,

Me too.22.Dont engage with haters.23.Hate only gets loud when youre doing something that matters. No one throws

rocks at someone laying down.24.Leaders dont know how to take a compliment or an insult.25.Critics Math1 insult + 1000 compliments = 1 insult.26.Were here to herd sheep, not take care of goats.27.Churches spend too much time trying to get people who don t like them to like

them rather than getting people to love Jesus.28.We are the first generation in the history of mankind who has to have a digital

footprint conversation with their children.29.Its not about keeping up with technology. Its about maintaining truth.30.Random parents dont show up for sleepovers. That is what we need to do with

Facebook.31.Go to where your crowd already is. It is just a question of if you will be part of

the conversation.32.If you have a big event coming up in a month, you need to designate a Twitter

intern. Someone at your church is already an expert on social media.33.When a new platform gets out, sprint there and get a spot. But dont spend a lot

of time there if it doesnt take off.34.I go to Vine a lot.35.People who visit your site dont care about your flash site. They care what times

your service is.36.The human brain hates new ideas. It is very active and the brain must retrain

itself to accept new ideas.37.If you lose someone at the beginning of an interaction, they dont come back to

the middle.

Bob Goff

The morning session kick off with best-selling authorBob Goffand an interview withJeff Shinabargeron the subject of generosity and what is really enough.

The comments below are from Bob unless otherwise noted.

1. If you want to know where people who follow Jesus have been, follow the wettennis shoes marks. We should leak Jesus.

2. Some of you are weird. You are. Thats just how you were wired to be.3. Were posing. Were just faking it. Were afraid of who God made us to be.4. Who are you? What do you want? Those are two great questions to ask.5. Jesus, as time went by got more and more available.6. Every time I answer the phone, every time you do an act a kindness, you answer

the question Is it really true?7. Were called to lift up the hurting.

8. We lift each other up. You dont let go until we have five strong people holdingyou up.

9. Jesus just held everybody close. We have people running around holding peopleaccountable when they just need to hold them close.

10.Dont have any expectations. Are you kidding me? We are kids of the King!11.Every single Thursday I quit something.12.What if were picky about what we see?13.What does my wife want? She wants me home. Must be present to win.14.Lets keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. You get that part right. You get everything

right.15.Whats the word you hate most Cant.

16.What are you made to do? Not what you are able to do. What are you made todo?

17.If you change the world and your marriage fails, you lose.Jeff18.Influence isnt about the numbers. Its about influencing one individual person.

enough.Jeff

Carey Nieuwhof, Jeff Henderson and Perry Noble Pastors Lunch

Brian with Perry Noble and Carey NieuwhofThere are perks to leadership and there is a price to leadership. I got to experience

one of the perks! In an effort to help churches succeed,The RocketCompanydispatched me to theOrange Conferencein Atlanta, GA to gather leadershiplessons and insights to pass on to you.

I just attended a special lunch for pastors only that was highlighted by a Q & A

betweenCarey Nieuwhof,Jeff Henderson,andPerry Noble. In a wordUNBELIEVABLE!!! This is one of the BEST events I have ever attended!!!

Perry Noble

1. In 2000, we were planting a church and I was broke.2. A dynamic Childrens Ministry is essential for a thriving churchWe want them

in environments where they can have fun and learn about Jesus on their level.3. If youre doing church right, you offend someone every week.4. I dont believe in fundraisers for youth and childrens group. The pastor should

be the chief fundraiser for them. It is a sin to put them in front of Wal-Mart. Our

kids have gotten everything they have ever needed.5. Disney is spending money on them. Hollywood is spending money on

them. But the church screams if they need $500 and then sends them to Wal-Mart.

6. Staff that doesnt have unity on the staff will never have unity in thechurch. You will not have vision. You will have division.

7. Parent only care about three things when they bring their kids tochurch. Clean. Safe. Fun.

8. I hear people say, Fun aint the goal. Well, Heaven is going to suck for you.9. We never told our daughter never to do something because it would look bad on

the church or daddy.10.Im not obsessed with what people think because I want to be a great husband

and father.

11.Love always assumes the best. Ive got her (daughters) back far more than theopinion of others.12.My wifes ministry in the church is to me. She can do things for me no one else

in the church can do for me.13.Opportunity does not equal obligation.14.Jesus did not play to the expectations of people. He did what His Heavenly

Father called Him to do.15.If you dont control your schedule, youre not leading yourself or your family.16.Deep in most church settings means confusing. A non-Christian has never asked

me about going deep.17.Time, not content, produces spiritual growth.

18.Every spiritual growth metaphor in the Bible is agricultural, nottechnological. Agriculture takes time.19.In most discipleship classes in churches, the burden is not easy and the yoke is

not light.20.Were a church where change takes place.21.The only organization that resisted change the most is the church. Its also

important that the population in America is increasing while church attendance isdecreasing.

22.Were willing to answer the questions people are asking. Nobody coming toyour church Sunday cares about Calvinism.

23.Nobody wants to hear you speak for 45 minutes.24.When we meet them where they are, answer their questions, they are more open

to what the Bible says.25.Were going to go after people I have a heart for.26.Too many churches are over-programmed.27.When you have to manufacture energy for something, its time to kill it.28.When Gods done with you in ministry, hell kill you.

Jeff Henderson

1. The male population serving in family ministry continues to decline.2. There are boys in our church and community who have no idea what a positive

male Christian role model looks like.3. I know what my role issenior pastor, fundraiser, hire the right people and get

out of the way.4. Kids are an easier sale than the adultsEven the worst parents in the world will

take their kids to church if they want to go to church.5. For the family ministry I dont have a customer(child) in, I pay them especial

attention.6. Every year I have five goals I want to accomplish in five areas of my life.


21/33

20

7. (To have balance) You have to say, No.8. My most important ministry is with my family, not the church.9. Our spiritual growth strategy is for you to do what were doing.10.If youre not giving financially, there is something wrong with your heart.11.Im a starter. Thats what I do.

12.If you want to feel like a celebrity, go to NewSpring and turn on your flashers asa first-time guest.13.The sermon starts in the parking lot.14.The key to the church growing is the enthusiasm of the person in the parking

lot.15.When my family ministry says we have enough men, only then will I start a

mens ministry. I want them serving.16.Job security is tied to killing ministry. When someone says, Something isnt

working. I want to kill it. Thats good leadership. They are more interested inthe vision than the ministry. Thats the person I want to keep.

Carey Nieuwhof

1. There is power ofanother voice in a childs life.2. Family ministry is a value, not a program.3. One of the effectiveness of an Orange Church is that the senior pastor owns the

vision for family ministry.4. My wife and family would do what they would normally do because their

Christians, not because Im the pastor.5. Without a filter, everything sounds compelling.

Jeff Henderson From The Rocket Company Training Meetings

In an effort to help churches succeed, the leadership ofThe Rocket Companyispulling back the curtain and show you how we train our team members.

Jeff HendersonofGwinnett Church,one of theNorth Point Community Churchcampuses, provided some invaluable coaching for our team. We felt the content was sorich that we wanted to share it with all church leaders.

1. In every marriage there is the Wow and the How.2. Ifyou dont execute, a dream is just a nap.3. Our dreams should outstretch us. Where people get overwhelmed is the dreams

get stuck.

4. Five Life GoalsFamily, Spouse, Financial, Career/Work, Health. If Jesusdoesnt show up in these, I have failed. Jesus doesnt need to be a separatecategory.

5. My wife and kids are separated. I didnt marry my kids. Many times when theygo away to college, the marriage suffers.

6. I break down how Im doing on my goals on a quarterly basis.7. You have a 30-day review, a quarterly review, and an annual review. But the

most important is looking at it weekly because it helps me execute.

8. Life will lead you or you will lead your life.9. I hire great people and get out of the way.10.I cast vision, I raise money, and I encourage the staff.11.What are the three things Ive got to do this week?12.A lot of people have big dreams. They get impatient and then they walk away.

13.First, reflect on your last week.14.What fuels things is how I feel. If I dont feel good, it affects how I am as ahusband and how I am as a dad.

15.Second, look at your weekly goals. This helps focus on strategic relationships.16.I have a goal of writing three thank-you notes a week.17.Third is tools. This ultimately leads to three goals, things I want to accomplish

this week. The secret is looking at this for two minutes a day.18.I have a reading goal every week.19.The best thing about this is it lets me know when Im behind.20.The goal is not perfection. The goal is progressI believe in steadyplodding.21.Only 3% of Americans have goals. Only 1% write them down. But that 1%

exponentially achieves their goals over others.22.There are curriculum goals and measurable goals.23.Prepare your spouse to be a widow. The people that didnt have life insurance

are the ones who needed it.24.If I get wins early in the week, it gets me going for the rest of the week.25.The most difficult person I lead is me.26.There is humility and there is false humility.27.For creative people, every canvas has a border. Songs are three minutes on the

radio. Every great painting has a frame.28.Steve Jobs says, Real artists ship the product.29.In the church world, Im relying on the Holy Spiritis code for I havent done

the work.30.Stephen Kings goal is to write a 1000 words-a-day six-days-a-week.

101 Lessons On Becoming A Better Preacher And Teacher

On April 13th,Crawford Loritts, Senior Pastor ofFellowship Bible Churchin Roswell,GA, conducted an incredible seminar on effective preaching and teaching. All who werein attendance went to another level as communicators.

One thing you will notice as you read Crawfords words is hisincredible use of languageand desire to invest in the next generation of pastors and Christian leaders.

1. The gifts of the Bible are not gender specificPositions are gender specific butnot the gifting.

2. What I say about preaching is also true about teaching.3. Preaching is important because it is the God-ordained method.4. Preaching has fallen on hard times because is has to be transferable, accepted by

the audience, and demands response.5. We now define preaching based upon communication models.6. God delights in doing nonsensical things to show His glory.7. We are so concerned with how people respond that we have neutered the

messageStop trying to make it make sense.8. Biblical preaching is not mired in a transactional communication model.9. Your ministry is defined by proclamation of the Word of God, not strategy.10.Preaching and teaching does not mean everything in your ministry. But

preaching and teaching starts all the fires in your ministry.11.Preaching does not depend on how you feel.12.You will always have trends that break with transcendence. The human heart

has a need to be affirmed, not directed. Therefore, good preaching must bedirective.

13.When you stand in front of people your primary motivation is not to do wellItis not to experience self-actualization. The only reason why you preach and teachis to be a vehicle for transformationYouve got to settle that piece.

14.Dont ever stand in front of a group of people with a Bible in your hand and notexpect changeThat book youre holding is

THEVERYLIVINGWORDOFGOD. You must expect God is goingto use youI expect lives will be changed.

15.Over time the effectiveness as a preacher/teacher will explode from the holinessof your personal life.

16.Over time, hypocrisy always causes us to collapse. The greatest preachers of all-time were passionate about being Godly. You are the visible representation of the

truth you are declaringYou dont separate the gift from who you are.17.Holiness and godliness bring power to what you are doing.18.The pleasure of God will always eclipse the gifts of God.19.When you preach or teach you always reveal far more about yourself than you

intend to. You are always auto-biographical.20.Preaching is both a gift and a calling.21.Preaching is a very lonely calling because some people are not going to like what

you say.

22.You dont preach because you want to do it. You have to do it. Yourecompelled to do it.

23.Preaching is a message from God for the people at a moment in history.24.Gods messages are not necessarily initiated by a committee.25.You can not separate intimacy with God with Gods voice through you.

26.One of the most humbling things about preaching is you learn you are notomniscient.27.You should be just as fervent with 5 people as you are with 50,000. You learn to

be faithful. God aint going to trust you with a platform if you cant handlethis. Those 5 people are valuable.

28.I can always tell when a dude is tired and just mailing it in.29.Be fearless in your preaching. Not obnoxious. There is a difference between

holy boldness and obnoxiousness.30.People pleasing will kill your effectiveness as a preacher. Most with public

ministries struggle with this. It will inject embalming fluid into youreffectivenessYou will one day wake up feeling like you were afraid to tell the

truth.31.Commitment to truth will cost you relationships. Youre going to pay a price.32.You cant handle hot truth coolly.33.Godliness, not desire, is the prerequisite for God to do great things in human

history.34.The most important thing you can ever do in yourlife is to pray Gods

will. What do You want to do in my life?35.Preaching is like cutting the grass. You dare not admire it because you have to

do it again next week.36.There is a difference between fruitfulness and immediate response.37.For some people, fruitfulness for you will be multiplied in the next generation.38.Every time you open your Bible in front of people, you have an appointment

with God and God has an appointment with people. The preaching and teachingmoment is a celebration of the work and power of the Spirit of God.

39.Tomorrow (Sunday) morning the spotlight is being put on Jesus and Truth isbeing made clear in their lives. You are not giving a speech. You are not giving atalk. You are a vessel that the Spirit of God is speaking through.

40.You cannot separate the Word of God, the proclaimer, the Spirit of God, andaudience. The preacher is like a great symphony conductor. For me to beeffective, I must become the music Im conducting. I am the seamless instrumentbetween the music that is to be performed and the audience who will enjoyit. You stand there not in Gods way. Youre not just delivering content butworshipping the God who gave it to you.

41.Dont make apologies for being spiritual when you preach. Who are you tryingto be? Jay Leno?

42.When you stand to preach you are not there to impress them with how smart youare.

43.Filling of the Spirit is normativefilling, walking, dont quench, dontgrieve. Anointing is occasional. Empowering for a specific task.

44.God will bless His Word but can also spank you.


25/33

24

45.No one ever truly compartmentalizes. We manage certain things but we areholistic. God wants to use a transparent vessel. Barriers being down is aprerequisite for being filled with the Spirit. Dont ask God to use you if youarent willing to run from sin.

46.Holy passion is intellectual and emotional believability.

47.There are some pastors who dont know the difference between hip-hop andBach.48.Our cuteness can take away from divine relevance.49.You got to know how to use PowerPoint and visuals. The anointing of God is on

you, not the technology. It is there to simply help you. The message has beengiven to you.

50.The greatest deficiency in most exposition is powerlessness.51.As a preacher you must make a life-long commitment to two things: Diligent,

serious study of the scriptures. Moment by moment dependence on the HolySpirit.

52.You dont want to ever be in a situation where God takes His hand off of you.

53.Effective ministry always advances from human weakness, not human strength.54.God uses us because we are inadequate.55.When you are used of God, it is the celebration of the supernatural. Not of your

gifts. You must separate your giftedness from how you are used.56.The strength is not in the gift. The strength is in the Giver.57.Accept the compliments. Dont be falsely humble. Say Thank You.58.There are times you dont know when God is using you. Youre just preaching

through a storm.59.There are times when youre preaching in the Holy Spirit that youre a spectator

into what God is doing.60.Great preachers are good communicators. But great communicators are not

necessarily even preachers.61.Communicators makes speeches. Preachers deliver messages.62.Communicators tend to be audience-centered and they want the content to be

embraced.63.Every message in the Bible, there is a clear action statement or it is strongly

implied. When you preach, people must do something or you havent preached.64.Preaching requires people to walk away from where they are and to where God

wants them to be.65.God wants His Word to be believed and acted upon.66.Truth is core to preaching or you have nothing to say.67.God speaks through who you are. Dont try to change yourself. Dont adopt

someone elses identity. Dont be a C-minus replication of Tim Keller.68.Dont chase diamonds in someone elses yard when you have gold in yours.69.You will not preach any better than your personal growth.70.Guard the deposit and stir up the gift. Look at whats been given to

you. Youve got your own Ground Zero.71.Learn from others but preach like yourself. Do not have a favorite preacher that

you listen to all the time. You will become a C-minus clone. Do not have twofavorite preachers or you will get confused. Listen to about four or five that you


26/33

25

rotate.72.Find your own voice and find your own rhythm.73.Some of the reasons messages are terrible is that we are not readers. We have to

be learners.74.Too much preaching is emotive. You are missing people who are thinkers. You

have to read and write.75.Write a page in your journal every day and you will be amazed at how it helpsyour preaching. It forces you to think organizationally.

76.The biggest mistake most of us make is that we dont quiet our souls before wespeak.

77.I need to know more than just what I am going to say. It has to coalesce in mysoul.

78.We dont spend enough time soaking in the implications of what weresaying. Prepare enough ahead of time so that you can soak.

79.A lot of messages lack seasoning.80.The people are not an audience you deliver content to. You have to love the

people you are speaking to and they need to feel the love coming through you.81.Biblical exposition is not a running commentary. The reason most pastors dontdo good Biblical exposition is that it takes a lot of work.

82.Exposition just means a passionate explanation of the text.83.Dont jump to interpretation before you have done observation. Dont assume

observation. Know what is being said (in the text).84.I need tobe informed by the authors intent (not mine) and centered on the

(texts) main idea.85.It makes no difference how you (the preacher) understand it (the text). It matters

if they understand it. Stubborn people make terrible communicators. It is theclarity you want to give your audience.

86.Some of us are random and our messages sound like it. Some of us should notbecome victims to our emotions but to use them. Submit your emotions to thepassage.

87.Organization is the biggest problem with younger preachers because we view itas an enemy.

88.I submit myself to an outline to protect myself from becoming random.89.The goal of preaching is for people to remember what you said and act on

it. The goal is transformation and transference.90.The modeling of discipleship is what preaching is all about. If a person cannot

pick up their Bible and walk through your passage and remember what you said,you failed.

91.If you are a Christian speaker, unchurchedpeople are assuming youre aChristian speaker and are going to say something about God.

92.In your introduction, dont sell more than you can deliver.93.Big idea preaching that lacks points has a problem in that sometimes people

dont know how you came to that idea from the text.94.The more points you have, the more repetition you need in order for it to be

remembered.95.Illustrations serve the truth. They are not a corollary truth. The illustration


27/33

26

sheds light on the truth. It does not replace the truth.96.Great preachers are like great batters in baseball. Great batters can hit the

ball wherever its pitched. Great preachers preach the way the text ispresented. They preach wherever the text is going.

97.The way you grow as a preacher is what does the text say, how did the author

present it, and how can I give it clarity the way the author meant it.98.Great preachers repeat themselves an awful lot. You cant repeat yourselfenough.

99.Dont confuse the dining room with the kitchen. Exegesis is the details and thecontent. Thats the kitchen. Exposition is putting the cake in the dining room.

100. When youre preaching, youre not there to let everyone know everythingyou know about the passage. Youre there to deliver a message. Your outlineserves the message. It is not the message. Dont confuse rhetoric with themessage.

101. The greatest thing you can do is bring people into the presence of GodsWord and get out-of-the-way.

room. Jim Collins8. If you are in a growing organization, whether there is growth or expansion

comes complexity. It is unavoidable.9. Complexity is the enemy of clarity.10.Clarity is the most important thing.11.We knew we were going to be a big church because if you have the only hot dog

stand in town, your hot dogs dont have to be that good.12.As a leader in a complex organization, you need a place you can retreat to.13.What are we doing? Why are we doing it? Where do I fit in?14.There is extraordinary power when you can reduce the organization down to

answering what is the one thing we are doing?

3. Create Necessary EndingsThis is when the worst thing a leader can do is thinkthere is hope in a situation.4. The experts prune a rose bush in three contextsA rose bush creates more buds

than it can sustain. Which of the buds are the best and prune the rest. The bestbuds need the resources of the vine. Some branches are sick and not going to getwell. And there is the dead stuff.

5. The life of the company was in about 20% of its activities. The best buds needthe resources.

6. It is during the leadership pruning that we need courage.7. There is a point when you have to realize as a leader that you are attached to, and

everything you have done is not going to change anything. They are resistant to

change, sick, and not going to get well. Their season has passed.8. Sometimes leaders get so invested in something. That season has passed and itsover.

that. Yesterday is gone. Throw away the prom dress.15.Focused AttentionYou can have a lot of projects going at once, your brain can

only focus at one time.16.Great leaders lead people in ways that their brains can actually follow them.17.They create for people focused attention where peoples brains can follow

them.
