Leadership Summit
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).

Leadership Summit
Today I am attending a satellite broadcast of The Leadership Summit. I am excited because Craig Groeschel will be speaking today along with many other great speakers. Should be a great day...tomorrow too.
Hopefully I will finally learn how to lead!

Sunday Evening Reflections
I was very pleased with services today. Craig Groeschel spoke this morning as part of our One Prayer series. His message was entitled, "Lord, Make Us One." You can watch the video of Craig's message Here.
It is pretty amazing to think that we are partnering with over 1,400 churches all around the world that represent over 800,000 people. Wow!
On another note...today, for the very first time in my life, I called my father on Father's Day and wished him, "Happy Father's Day." That is a humbling thought to me. Only God could have done something like it.
We spoke only for a little while but talked again about getting together sometime in the future to see each other face to face. Just think, only a year ago, I still despised my earthly father...I could have cared less if he was dead or alive. And now, because of God's amazing power and love, I not only am happy that I wished him a happy father's day, I actually do care about him. And I am excited to see where our relationship will go in the future.
God is alive. God is good. All the time.
