The last few days I’ve been at the Church Solutions Conference learning from some great leaders and having a lot of fun. Here’s a recap of what I learned:

  1. Len Sweet and Ron Martoia are probably the deepest thinkers I have met. Honestly, I’m still not sure what they were talking about, but they are the futurists, so they certainly know.
  2. Will Mancini and Auxano have some awesome team building tools.
  3. I need to reflect more on Larry Osborne’s talk, “Innovations Dirty Little Secret.” It was a great session about innovation in the church.
  4. Jeff, Steve and Lance with Fellowship Technologies could be the funniest guys I’ve ever met. You should use FellowshipOne just to get to hang out with them! Also, ask them about BAF.
  5. Third Quarter Consulting will help FPC develop a multi-site strategy. Jim Tomberlin is a guru and it was great to learn about John Bishop’s church.
  6. At my house, we have to use the website Church Marketing Stinks and not the alternative that Michael Buckingham used. We don’t say that word!
  7. Aaron stays up later than me EVERY night (I am SO old).
  8. Karen Butler, Katherine Kennedy, Amy Reed and the entire Church Solutions Magazine team are great hosts.

We had a great week. Can’t wait to see all that God is going to do in the future!
