For two days I am being dispatched by INJOY Stewardship Solutions to bring you the top leadership thoughts and lessons from the C3 Conference in Dallas, TX. C3 believes healthy leaders talk about the raw and real of leadership. This is a two-day event where leaders from around the world gather together for intensive coaching, inspirational teaching, incurable learning, and intentional relationships to advance the church!
The day’s first speaker was Phil Dooley. Phil is the Lead Pastor of Hillsong Church Cape Town alongside his wife, Lucinda. Together they served as Youth Pastors of Hillsong United for many years prior. A gifted communicator, Phil mixes a blend of humor with Biblical wisdom that encourages people to unlock their God-given potential and live their lives to the fullest!

Now as promised, the following are 14 leadership quotes from his amazing session on making mistakes:
- We have nine locations. Just got started in Nyrobi, Kenya.
- If I get stronger, I’ve got to go deeper. We live in a world quite distracted. We live on the surface. Because we don’t go deep, we don’t get stronger.
- The best decision I’ve probably made is marrying my wife.
- Trees see time as an advantage. We see time as a disadvantage.
- We think time is against us.
- Time is not a negative. Time is what God created us to work in.
- A tree knows if it stays healthy, then the roots will grow deep and it will produce something.
- Jesus is the most anointed person on the planet. You’re not.
- James had to deal with some things in his life to determine his brother was the Messiah.
- Consistency builds strength, and strength builds resources. And resource means we can do fun & meaningful things.
- God has a way of dealing with our issues and reminding us He is in charge.
- Trees grow according to their genetic makeup.
- There are challenges in every environment but a tree doesn’t grow according to its environment. It grows according to its seed. Some of you are using your environment as an excuse to not grow according to your seed.
- It is not your environment that shapes you. It is the anointing of God.
What an incredible way to start the conference!!!
