Orange Conference-pt. 3

Okay, here are my final notes from the last three general sessions at the Orange Conference last week.

General Session #3 - Donald Miller (author of Blue Like Jazz)

• Don's definition of a good leader is a person who gets to know me in such a way that I want to take part of their vision (or the vision they've been given)
• A good leader gets to know people
• A leader invites people to get involved in the vision (they aren't selfish workaholics of the vision)
• A leader creates ownership of the vision and consistently is involving other people in the process
• Great leaders have lists of people they follow, peers, and people they are leading
• A leader has ambition -an ambition that they are actively trying to pursue (sometimes huge and absurd)
• A leader speaks something into the nothings

General Session #4 - Andy Stanly

• Spiritual Development happens the most in small groups!

General Session #5 - Louie Giglio

• We may not be on the brink to take the lead on culture
• What if we decided to be the church of Jesus?
• Jesus came to build HIS church
• We ought to BE something instead of DO something!
• Be relevant to Jesus, because He is who matters
• Many times we are in a bed of cultural infatuation
• How do we link our lives for Jesus?
• BE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT JESUS instead of relevance!

What a great time of learning!! Thank you Jesus for such godly, passionate individuals!!
