\u00a0Chan<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What frustrates me is when I look at Scripture is I want to be that man. \u00a0To put me as an extremist is destructive.<\/li>\n<li>Radical Christian living is sustainable. \u00a0My own sin keeps me (perceived radical Christian living) from being sustainable.<\/li>\n<li>I in no way believe everyone to sell everything they have and move overseas.<\/li>\n<li>Of course there are moments when you want to leave (the pastorate) but I don’t leave during those moments.<\/li>\n<li>The discipleship process is an open life process. \u00a0The challenge is do you want to open yourself up that much.<\/li>\n<li>I see myself as a bi-vocational pastor. \u00a0I don’t make my money by discipling people.<\/li>\n<li>I’m encouraging people who are already working jobs to become shepherds.<\/li>\n<li>I tell them (small group leaders) you are their shepherd.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a bonus, here are some quotes from Ed’s afternoon session.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ed Stetzer<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Discipleship is long obedience is the same direction.<\/li>\n<li>Discipleship is lived out in relationship with others.<\/li>\n<li>The Gospel is not “you do”, the Gospel is “Jesus did”.<\/li>\n<li>Attendance is a skewed measurement of success.<\/li>\n<li>How every attractive your strategy, it’s helpful to occasionally look at the results. – Winston Churchill<\/li>\n<li>It is more valuable for me to disciple two people rather than write a book or speak at a conference.<\/li>\n<li>Pastors think the #1 way to disciple people is through their preaching. \u00a0The people think the #1 way to disciple is with other people.<\/li>\n<li>I don’t want behavioral modification. \u00a0I want biblical-based living.<\/li>\n<li>What is not a fad is people following Jesus with radical devotion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>_____________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><a
