The Sticks: Break-Out Session One
The first break-out session I attended was a Pastor Q+A with four guys by the names of Mark Batterson, Shannon O’Dell, Charles Hill and Dwight Mason. (If I haven’t posted notes on one of these guys’ session yet it’s because they spoke on day 2, I’m getting there.)
I didn’t really take a lot of notes in this break-out session, but it was really interesting, it was cool to just sit in on these guys sharing the wisdom they’ve accumulated over the years. Here are the notes I took.
God’s dream for us is NOT to spend 60 minutes in a pew each week. (Not sure what question that was in response to.)
I asked them what they require of the leadership team they surround themselves with. They gave me quick answers because we were in the “lightning-round” of the session.
1) They must bring something to the table.
2) Their to-do list starts out as 95% of what you give them to do, but should quickly turn around to you only giving them 5%.
