Catalyst’s theme for 2016 is Uncommon Fellowship.

If the live updates on my site aren’t enough, you can also watch Catalyst Live here.

The first presenter at Catalyst is Andy Stanley. Andy is the lead pastor of North Point Church.

What is the definition of uncommon fellowship? Head-turning, jaw-dropping, never-would’ve-imagined association.

And if we can get this idea, nothing will ever be the same.

There was once upon a time, that uncommon fellowship happened in our faith. Merchants, slaves and owners, prostitutes, tax gatherers, Jews, Roman Centurions…

Was there ever a more diverse group?

This was the beginning of Christianity.

Jesus predicted uncommon fellowship. A bunch of uncommon people would come together for a common purpose (Matthew 16:18).
