For the next two days I will be live blogging the Global Leadership Summit. This is a special moment as the Summit will be celebrating its 25th year of investing in leaders.
I also would like to invite you to join myself, Rick Warren, Nona Jones, Bob Goff, Carey Nieuwhof, Mark Patterson and over 100 of today’s top Christian thinkers for the upcoming Navigating A New Season First Impressions Conference. This digital event will take place from November 4th through 6th. Nothing will prepare your church or organization to be effective in 2021 more than this event.

The GLS’s final speaker was Pastor Albert Tate. Albert, who is the senior pastor of Fellowship Church, held a variety of strategic pastoral leadership positions before founding the church in 2012—one of the fastest-growing multi-site churches in the U.S. He also serves on the board of trustees for multiple organizations including Azusa Pacific University, Fuller Youth Institute’s Advisory Council and the Global Leadership Network.
The following are 31 Quotes From Albert Tate’s session on Authentic Leadership:
- We run the risk of going home and being the best version of Craig Groeschel we can be.
- Leadership isn’t something outside of me that I have to grasp but it’s something inside of me that I have to grow.
- Leadership isn’t something we do. Leadership is something we be.
- I can relate to angry Jesus.
- Jesus just didn’t turn over tables. He turned over a whole system.
- When you treat God the wrong way, you’re going to treat His people the wrong way.
- We should be Flipping Tables of Injustice leaders.
- It’s hard to turn over a table of injustice when you’re sitting comfortably at it. Are you comfortably sitting at a table you should be flipping because of systems of injustice?
- Who’s not at your table and where are they? Have you made systems that make it hard for them to get there?
- Jesus flipped over tables, not people.
- Jesus washes everybody’s feet… even the one He knows who is about to betray him.
- It’s not enough for you to be a table flipping leader, you have to also be a foot washing leader.
- Just because you’re wrong doesn’t mean your worthless.
- This cancel culture is not a Christian culture. It’s dangerous. If you didn’t create me, how can you cancel me?
- If Jesus didn’t cancel Judas, I can’t cancel you.
- Who would be surprised by my compassion if I poured it on them?
- One of the worst things that can happen to you is not a life of failure, but a life of success.
- Just because you’re done doesn’t mean God is.
- We serve a God who doesn’t give up on you.
- If you still have breath in your body, you still have purpose in your chest.
- Name is nature.
- After I lost, God won.
- You don’t need an “it” factor, you need a limp factor.
- When your story meets God’s story, He gives you a greater story.
- Leader, don’t lose your limp.
- You need to be a limping leader.
- We need more limping leaders. We need leaders walking in vulnerability.
- Failure ain’t failure. Failure is an invitation for God’s grace to show up in your life.
- Moses would see further than he would go. Joshua would go further than he would see. We may not see the furtherness of our leadership.
- Let’s lead not for Likes tonight, but legacy tomorrow.
- You don’t win because you come in first. You win because you finish.
What an incredible event this has been!
