For the next three days, I will be live blogging from the ReThink Leadership Conference in Atlanta, GA. ReThink, open exclusively to senior pastors, campus pastors and executive pastors, is a unique gathering of church leaders who are committed to solving the biggest challenges facing your church and the Church.

Today’s next speaker was the wonderful Kevin Myers. Kevin is the Senior Pastor of 12Stone Church in Gwinnett County, Georgia with 9 campuses, serving 18,000 a weekend. The following are 36 leadership quotes I captured during his inspirational session:
- I’ve pastored a small church more than I’ve pastored a large church.
- We’ve had slow momentum, huge momentum, no momentum seasons.
- There is this side of momentum that’s spectacular…There is this other side that is the soul of the leader. When Jesus is changing the lives of everyone around you but Jesus is changing is your life.
- Keeping your calling current is critical to soul momentum.
- Keep the fire on the altar burning. You do not let that fire go out. Attend to that fire. It can never go out.
- Never be lacking in zeal.
- Smoke what you’re selling and sell what you’re smoking.
- Keep the momentum inward burning.
- What’s my current Word from the Lord? What has God been whispering to you lately?
- We’re not just leaders. We’re spiritual leaders.
- When you know you’ve heard from God it throws gasoline on your soul.
- You keep asking me for something greater but you’re vision is never greater than 12Stone. – God
- The fire around is as contagious as it is in you.
- The longer it’s been since you had a Word from the Lord the small your fire burns.
- What’s my current obedience?
- The more casual I am with disobedience the more professional I am with ministry.
- When nobody’s looking what are you hiding?
- There can be sacrifice without obedience but rarely can there be obedience without sacrifice.
- Few things are more intense than prayer and fasting together.
- What is my current AWE before the Lord?
- If you get on My agenda I can take care of your agenda. – God
- You will not carry an awe of God around you anymore than you carry an awe of God within you.
- What’s your current territory?
- What’s your current risk?
- What’s your current discipline?
- Leadership feels like parenting to me. First you say it and then you say it again.
- It’s challenging for a leader to pick where they want to go and abandon people or settle for where they are.
- I am a sucker for a baptism.
- I came from such a messed up background and God so transformed our life.
- Who on earth gets to do what we do.
- I never get bored with a baptism.
- I love leadership and I love leaders.
- When a leader gets a light bulb, I get electrified.
- John Maxwell became my mentor 15 years ago. I’m a benefactor of a leader ahead of me.
- Leaders build better lives.
- If you’re committed to Scripture, you will build a leadership culture. Leadership at its core is wisdom.
Kevin is an amazing leader.
