(Austin, TX is 93% unchurched.)\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>We had a “come-to-us” paradigm in a city where no one was coming to us.<\/li>\n<li>We were blessing blessed people.<\/li>\n<li>We were churning out untransformed people, including ourselves…Folks were leaving mostly unchanged.<\/li>\n<li>Failure is a fantastic teacher and in this area I am rich.<\/li>\n<li>I really believe consumerism is a cancer to missional communities…It is unsustainable.<\/li>\n<li>If we develop a church geared toward the saved,\u00a0blessed people will come wanting more blessings.<\/li>\n<li>Only Christians want a church with 49 programs.<\/li>\n<li>The church has a limited amount of resources.\u00a0 If saved people consume them all, we have nothing more missional activity.<\/li>\n<li>How do we teach people to live missionally?\u00a0 Do it yourself first.\u00a0 Live it or you have no hope in leading it.<\/li>\n<li>With a click of a button we can cherry-pick leadership from 10,000 guardians\/nannies.<\/li>\n<li>A nanny has no responsibility.\u00a0 A father is charged with raising his children for Christ.<\/li>\n<li>Leaders, we cannot possibly lead a missional community if we are not on mission ourselves.<\/li>\n<li>What can people look at in our lives and say, “That, that is worth following”?\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>We are leading in a time when “Well done” outtrumps “Well said”.<\/li>\n<li>Conservatantly, the church is America is losing 150,000 a week…40% cite distrust and lack of respect for the pastor.\u00a0 Churches built on the charismatic personality of the pastor are going to struggle to reach the cynical.<\/li>\n<li>Should we consider ourselves not as leaders but rather as influencers?<\/li>\n<li>Heaps of well-spoken theology only impresses Christians who are in to that sort of thing.<\/li>\n<li>We are nothing if not disciples first.\u00a0 We do not get to shirk that responsibility because we wear the “Christian hat”.<\/li>\n<li>To tell a better story we are going to have to live a better story and be watched first.<\/li>\n<li>If we live a life worthy of being followed we will earn a hearing for gospel we never intended to.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Todd Wagner<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><\/strong>When people say you have a beautiful church I say, “Who did you meet?”<\/li>\n<li>God believes life change happens in the way you do things.<\/li>\n<li>The greatest leaders that ever lived are the “Follow Me” leaders…Don’t do as I say but do with me.<\/li>\n<li>Follow The Leader is not just a child’s game.<\/li>\n<li>God brings judgement on a land but raising up leaders who act like children. – Isaiah 3:1-4, Ecc. 10:16-17<\/li>\n<li>Children are selfish.\u00a0 They are not others-centered.<\/li>\n<li>Children have no sense of delayed gratification.<\/li>\n<li>They lack\u00a0wisdom.\u00a0 They’re childish and foolish.\u00a0 When they have the wisdom they can’t executive…They don’t know the difference between a curb and a cliff.\u00a0 They are indisriminate with what they put in their mouth.<\/li>\n<li>Charismatic leaders can gain a following very quickly…Charismatic leadership that isn’t ultimately surrended to Jesus Christ is going to be a scourge on Christianity.<\/li>\n<li>God has always wanted people to lead with moral authority.<\/li>\n<li>God has always looked for the willing, even if they’re weak, to glorify Himself.<\/li>\n<li>All of life is a leadership test.\u00a0 The reward of faithful service\u00a0is the opportunity to serve more.<\/li>\n<li>Pharoah never misses his Joseph but you must be a Joseph.<\/li>\n<li>Death.\u00a0 Surrender.\u00a0 Faithfulness.\u00a0 This is what separates men from children.<\/li>\n<li>Children will fight for the comfort.\u00a0 Men are not concerned with comfort.<\/li>\n<li>Some of us are called to have well-done ministries that the world may never know about except Him.<\/li>\n<li>When you surrender to anything other than God you will be surrendering to something that is not good for you.<\/li>\n<li>People will not surrender to anything where they don’t see life.<\/li>\n<li>You cannot keep selling something you are not convinced you (personally)\u00a0need to buy.<\/li>\n<li>Just because I’m a pastor doesn’t mean I still can’t be a Christian.<\/li>\n<li>I am an evangelist for the cross.\u00a0 That doesn’t mean I don’t run to it and act (as a pastor) like I don’t need it.<\/li>\n<li>What is your motivation for your obedience?<\/li>\n<li>The greatest evil in this country is that which God has called salt and light and dispel\u00a0darkness is not doing our job.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a special gift from Injoy
