Things I wrote down that Craig Groeschel said...

Yesterday, our team got to sit and listen to Andy Stanley and Craig Groeschel for a few hours talk about ministry. Aside from their awesome outline, I wrote down some other great quotes that I took in. Here are some I took from Craig's talks (he did two...)

Talk One: Busting Barriers with Mindset Changes

• Your church will typically mirror your values
• The secure and confident church is attractive
• Limitations are the greatest breeding ground for innovation.
• Buried in your limitations could be the greatest innovation to your church.
• The difference between where you are and where you ought to be often involves pain.

Talk Two: Creating Personal and Spiritual Momentum

• My greatest dark side has become one of the most significant strengths of our church.
• The quickest way to forget what God says about us is to obsess about what people say about us (interchange me with those statements).
• We don't delegate because of pride.
• If you are healthy, your ministry will be healthy.
• Your identity should not be wrapped up in your ministry/ produciton...when it is, that is a signal for deep repentance.
  
• You should never pray more publicly than you do privately.
• You can become a full time pastor and a part time follower of Jesus.
