Last month I had the opportunity to go to two conferences. I’m grateful for the opportunity and I wanted to take a moment to share some nuggets from the incredibly gifted speakers that I heard. I hope that they translate to you as well as they did to me:
- Prayer – why do we spend 30 seconds on the one thing that’s needed for everything?
- Whenever you have opportunity, watch out because you will have opposition
- God has a plan and it starts with one man
- Jesus went from the top to the bottom to bring us from the bottom to the top
- Leverage everything for evangelism
- Meek used to mean gentle and obedient. We need to be meek like a warhorse not meek like a wallflower. (I’m stealing this one)
- Be the church of the God idea not a good idea
- We want him to be in constant communication with us but sometimes God only speaks at the turns in the road.
- Jesus appeared to his disciples after his death but one wasn’t there. So Jesus came back. He came back for Thomas. He came back for the one.
Aren’t those good?

One of my favorites when times get tough (I think I actually got this from Katie): Lessons on joy from a glo-stick: often God has to break u & turn out the lights for His joy to shine thru your life.
