Catalyst 1 Day - Goeschel 2
this is the third post about Catalyst One Day if you're lost.
Before I jump into Craig Groeschel talk #2 I want to mention a Q & A that he and Andy Stanely did before lunch. It was awesome, to have them ask each other stuff. I didn't catch it all, but here are the one's I did catch. I think these were enough for me to chew on so I stopped.
Q Craig: When you teach it always seems fresh. How do you keep personal spiritual momentum?
A Andy: I just spend most of my time there. I spend most of my time in my giftednes. The more time you spend outside of your giftedness less time you have for the most important things, and the more drained you'll be.
Q Andy: When do you go multi-site?
A Craig: 1. when you've absolutely maximized your space. 2. to go out and be missional. Do something somewhere that others arent. 3. a partnership with others who can't. (Craig partners with other church's with his sermons.)
Creating Personal Spiritual Momentum
Genesis 31: 43-44
[underlined words were blanks in the notes.]
I will do today what I can do , to enable me to do tomarrow waht I can't do today.
If you want to make movies someday go out and shoot today with your Sony handicam. No you may not have what you need, but you'll never get the oppertunities if you're not any good at it.
Four Things To Do Today
1. Do somthing to defat you dark side.
Craig's if fear of not enough. He saw that his church wasn't being generous and he was upset by that then God told him he wasn't being generous. He was giving more tithing, but his heart wasn't generous. He even has a polocy at his church, if you need some money go ahead and take back out of the offering plate. No one will say anyting to you. (That is awesome!)
I thought of something when he was talking about this. He's over compensated, he's become really generous. I thought of Batman. As a boy he was afraid of bats. when he became a ninja, he learned to master his fear, so much so, that he used it to fight evil.
2. Create artificial ministry deadlines.
artificial deadlines force you to:
*make faster decisions
*Intentionally delegate
* disregard unimportant activities
3. Delegate what someone else can do
* don't deleagate responsibilities. delegate authority.
(wow, have I really learned that this one is true. to see the look on someone's face when You tell them that it's they're ship to stear.)
*delegating responsibilities creates followers.
*delegating authority creates leaders.
4. Do somthing only you can do.
1. you're the only one who can care for yourself.
*care for yourself with refreshing activities. (LOL, hobbies or personal life when you're in ministry? Craig's right guys!)
*care for yourself by taking time off. (Ministry is busy and you're gone or busy certain times of the year. you know when it's coming, plan time off after those busy times.)
* care for yourself by spending time with God.
*care for yourself by eating right and exercising.
2. You're the only one who can lead your ministry.
3. you're the only one who can do somehting that privatley honors Christ to you.
4. You're the only one who can be a husband/wife to your wife/husband or daddy/mommy to your kids.
in the Q & A after Craig spoke he talked abou his schedule. He leaves the office at 3.45 every day and heads to the gym.
Someone in our group asked a great question after that session: "so he leaves then, when does his staff leave? Sometimes the leaders, get to leave but the support staff have to stay if the work isn't done. I would ask him that question if I had a chance.
