A Single Act Of Courage Is Often The Catalyst For Extraordinary

Catalyst Atlanta 2017 Andy Stanley

Today, I’m live-blogging from the Infinite Energy Center in Atlanta, Georgia. I’ll be sharing insights from speakers at the best leadership conference around, Catalyst Atlanta.

The first guest is Andy Stanley. Andy is the senior pastor of North Point Church in Atlanta. He’s also the author of Ask It and Deep & Wide.

A single act of courage often becomes the single action that changes history. When Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat. Her act of courage changed the course of the United States.

Martin Luther, breaking with the Catholic Church. An extraordinary act of courage.

Or Bill Hybels telling his father that he wasn’t going to continue in the family business. He was going to work with teenagers and build a different kind of church.

No one knows what is on the other side of a single act of courage.  Read more...

Are You Investing In Yourself?

While I’ve always loved learning, I’ve often failed to invest in myself. This lack of investment in myself is sad, looking back on it.

There are so many missed opportunities to grow. I dismissed the mentions of conferences as silly. I threw away audio recordings that were meant for growth.

I sucked as a young leader.

To improve, one must invest

Why I Didn’t Invest In Myself

Growing up, I never felt adequate. I always felt others were better than me.

I also believed that what I thought didn’t matter.

This stunted my growth for many years. This limiting mindset held me back as I struggled to grow.

I didn’t invest in myself because I didn’t think I was worth it.

Looking back, I want to kick myself. I wasted so much time, energy, and money chasing after things that didn’t help me.  Read more...

God is a God of order. He’s also a God who likes to break the rules, especially with leaders.

The rules God will break aren’t His rules. They’re the rules of man.

Why God Breaks The Rules Of Man

The Bible tells us plainly why God will break the rules of man.

Man looks on the outside. This is the outward appearance, the way a person acts or looks.

God, on the other hand, likes to look on the inside. He likes to look for humble hearts, servant attitudes, ready vessels.

Not exactly the kind of people the world will look for. Yet, these people are the ones God will use to change the world.

This is why He breaks the rules. Man’s way of finding a leader is outward based. God’s way is inward based.  Read more...
