So in part 1 and 2 of this series of posts I didn't even mention the driving force behind the Drive Conference; Andy Stanley. I didn't forget him! Today I'll conclude this series of posts with a key thought or quote I learned from each of his sessions.
1. Main Session #1 (Did it have a title?):
"Make it easy for people to access the gospel." (Acts 15)
2. "Communicating for a Change":
"We are the stewards of the message of eternal life for our generation. But we are not only stewards of the message of eternal life, we are also stewards of the message of a better life."
3. "Senior Pastor Q & A":
"Do for one what you wish you could do for everyone. Don't be fair (trying to treat everyone the same); be engaged. You cannot meet every person's need yourself, you must share the load with the rest of the church. But don't use that excuse to remove yourself from meeting some of them. OK to say to some, "I cannot help you, but our church can."
4. Defying Gravity":
"Don't allow anyone to steal from you the BIG thing you were called to do. Embrace holy discontent. Don't allow your current context to squeeze vision out of your life."
Wrap-up: There is so much more I learned from Andy and the rest of the Northpoint team. I wrote these posts because I knew doing so would force me to review, process, internalize, and make action points from my notes instead of just allowing all of these gems to be forgotten in notebook on a shelf.
If you found any of it helpful, I would encourage you to keep your eyes open here and pick up the conference sessions when they are available. Keep learning because as the Drive tagline says, "We're not there yet."
