Today is the second day I will be live blogging from the ReThink Leadership Conference in Atlanta, GA. ReThink, open exclusively to senior pastors, campus pastors and executive pastors, is a unique gathering of church leaders who are committed to solving the biggest challenges facing your church and the Church.
Injoy Stewardship Solutions has dispatched me to attend this amazing event as a way to invest in your growth. They also want to invest in your leadership by offering you our latest FREE ebook Breaking The Next Growth Barrier: 10 Things Pastors Can Do To Break Down Growth Barriers by clicking HERE for your complimentary copy.
Today’s next speaker is Pete Wilson. Pete is the founding and senior pastor of Cross Point Church in Nashville, Tennessee, a committed church community that has grown to reach more than 7,000 people each weekend through its five locations. The following are 13 leadership quotes I captured during his session:
- Sometimes I forget how good it is to get together and fellowship with other pastors.
- What is most important – winning or not looking like an idiot?
- I’ve spent way to much of my ministry hedging on steps of faith.
- My entire ministry comes down to winning people for Jesus or not looking like an idiot.
- So much of my ministry has been driven by my fear of failure.
- Regret stings a lot more than failure.
- My fear is we’re going to spend a lot of time thinking about what we should’ve done.
- Inside of every leader there is belief and doubt. The difference is what are you going to choose to act on?
- I’ve not sensed any moment where I couldn’t do this.
- I am passionate about ministry. I’m passionate about my family. I’m passionate about fun things to do.
- I speak live six times on Sunday. I could speak seven but my limit is six.
- Make sure we have fun with each other and don’t lose our families in the process.
- I like to avoid conflict.
Up next is Carey Nieuwhof to close out the ReThink Conference.
