I really enjoyed doing a workshop at the National Outreach Convention today. My session was titled: The Ten Most Important Lessons I’ve Learned Over the Past Ten Years.

I had a list of about twenty lessons, but here are some of the ones I shared. I tried to mix up the lessons learned. Some are more philosophical and some are more practical. By the way, I don’t think I’ve ever talked faster!

1) Pray ridiculous prayers
2) Be Yourself
3) Put Your Family First
4) Change of Pace + Change of Place = Change of Perspective
5) Leaders are Readers
6) Everything is an Experiment
7) 1% of What You Do Makes 99% of the Difference
Church is a tag-team sport
9) The Most Important and Most Difficult Job of a leader is creating culture
10) Market Internally
