Over the next two days I will be dispatched by INJOY Stewardship Solutions to provide live-blogging the ReThink Leadership and Orange Conference. This is one of my go-to events each year. Led by Reggie Joiner and Carey Nieuwhof, I feel this annual event provides the greatest amount of informative and relevant leadership content available. This year is proving to be no different even though it is an online experience.
As part of these posts, I want to make you aware of an incredible offer from MinistryDeal.com. We know pastors are needing to communicate in new and fresh ways to fund their ministries during COVID-19. As a result, online offerings are a challenge for many leaders. MinistryDeal is offering 52 giving talks for only $47!!! That’s right, less than $1 per talk. If these done-for-you talks help you get just one gift over the next year, it pays for itself. Plus, think how much stress is relieved and how many man-hours you will save by not having to generate this content. There is no better ROI. Simply click HERE or on the image provided to purchase.

The morning’s speaker was Jimmy Mellado. Jimmy is the President and CEO of Compassion International, a holistic child development organization dedicated to the long-term development of children living in poverty around the world.
Dr. Mike Foster then provided some incredibly insightful comments about mental health and anxiety. Mike is a Certified Experiential Specialist recognized by the International Society For Experiential Professionals. He is skilled in utilizing creativity and interactive elements to help people heal from hurts.
The following are 20 Leadership Quotes from their wonderful sessions:
Jimmy Mellado
- I’m one generation away from poverty
- We’re all poor and rich in different ways.
- Those (under-resourced) families when they have Jesus have all they need.
- Something as global as a pandemic is a level-setter.
- The pandemic doesn’t discriminate on who has power.
- Everybody is hurting.
- Leadership = Influence + Courage
- Inspire the noble side of people to make a difference.
- What are you going to do that is something new, something that is rare?
- We lose so many things when a crisis occurs… Left to ourselves that leads to depression… One of the antidotes is becoming others-centered, serving other people.
- As you serve others your soul will be served and rebuilt.
- When I think about change I think about leadership… Leadership is about taking people to a new place, a better place.
- Culture doesn’t define what the church should do. You always innovate to the original – God’s original intent for the church. You do not innovate to the new.
- Change in the church is about deconstructing the human part.
Mike Foster
- With this coronavirus, lot of our coping mechanisms in heart to help us with suffering and pain aren’t working anymore.
- We need to be really present with people right now.
- The best thing you can do right now is to be a great listener and ask a lot of questions and be completely present when you’re with somebody.
- Sometimes we live in denial about our children…. It’s the parents’ responsibilities to ask the harder questions.
- You can’t delegate the mental health of your child to some pastor or leader.
- Shame and guilt just perpetuates the problem.
