Catalyst 2008 – Steven Furtick
quick hits from Steven Furtick’s talk today at Catalyst 2008:
- 1 Kings 18:41-48
- When God makes you a promise it starts small, as a cloud out in the distance over the sea.
- First comes the Promise of God, then you go through the process. Finally, you come to the payoff.
- God is preparing you for what he’s preparing for you.
- DO NOT miss the payoff because you couldn’t make it through the process. HANG IN THERE!
- God is a covenant keeping God!

Catalyst 2008 – Jim Collins
From Jim Collins talk:
-good is the enemy of great
-Greatness is NOT a function of the cards you’re dealt.
-Greatness IS a function of discipline and making choices.
-the great fall by over reaching.
-how do you know if you’re over reaching? You grow do fast that you end up compromising the seats in the bus and you put the wrong people in them.
-if you get the right “who’s” you’ll get the right “what’s.”
-if you keep and live by a to do list, you need an equally robust not to do list
-we are defined as leaders often by the decisions that nobody even knows we have to make.
Catalyst 2008 Andy Stanley
From Andys talk:
-Nehemiah 5:6-18 the reason Nehemiah could stand up and lead like he did was because his deeds and his creeds were aligned.
-the best leadership decision Nehemiah ever made was when first arrived on the scene and said “I’m not going to take my fair share.”
-we don’t have positional authority in ministry. We can’t make anyone do anything because our people are volunteers.
-we have a better kind of authority…moral authority.
-we have to align our creeds and deeds. When we do that we gain influence.
-we aren’t talking about being perfect…there’s no such thing. We ARE talking about being aligned.
The three most important ways we can apply this:
In our forgiveness, our family, and our finances.
