First session this morning at the Leadership Summit this morning was Craig Groeschel who spoke on "It". He defined "it" as something in a church that can't be manufactured or created, thus it only comes from God.
He gave four thoughts on being able to "Get It"...
1. Must have a laser focus. (You should have a "planned abandonment" from ministries that are draining resources and energy that aren't in line with your purpose.)
2. Obstacles are Opportunities. He asked us to consider, "What is it that God is trying to show you through your greatest limitation?"
3. Must have a willingness to fail. Failure is a must. He asked us to consider, "What has God called you to do that you are afraid to attempt?"
4. The Leader must have "It." He admitted that at one point in his ministry he became so focused on externals and trying to draw a crowd that he realized he had become a "full-time pastor and a part-time follower of Jesus Christ."
All in all, Craig brought "It." It was very encouraging and convicting, frankly (as always when I hear Craig speak).
