Today is Day 2 of my conference experience this week.  I will actually be having an Inception moment.  Representing The Rocket Company, I am sitting at the Orange Conference and will be sharing insights from the morning session of Exponential.  In other words, I’m blogging about a conference from a conference.  Pretty cool!!!

Exponential ’13, whose purpose is to Accelerate Movements, kicked off their morning session with challenging insights Alan and Deb Hirsch and Tim Keller on the subject of leadership and discipleship.

After reading these leadership quotes, please check out an amazing FREE offer from The Rocket Company on helping pastors preach better sermons.  You can join Exponential live by clicking here.

Alan and Debra Hirsch

  1. You cannot teach what you do not know.  You cannot lead where you will not go.
  2. A leader never stops being a follower of Jesus.
  3. Being a leader doesn’t mean we get to point the way.  As leaders, we lead the way.
  4. You don’t just get to be a leader and rest.
  5. If you are a leader, you must be more radical now.  Not less.
  6. A leader must have current stories.  Not old ones.
  7. A leader who is a disciple looks as Jesus looked.
  8. Leaders who follow Jesus need to embody holiness.  Not moralism.
  9. Jesus’s style of leadership was humble and servant-like.
  10. All truth equals subjective change…If something is true, it must change you.
  11. We teach with our lives.

Tim Keller

  1. One of the problems with discipleship is you can’t hide…You have to be a Godly person.
  2. Natural temperament always has a dark side because it participates in your idols.
  3. Unless you’re really a Godly person, discipleship will not work because people aren’t going to believe you.
  4. You can’t them where you are not yourself.
