TOP 32 QUOTES FROM THE CATALYST LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

May 6, 2013 in Resources

On May 1-3, I had the chance to attend Catalyst for the second time. Catalyst is a fantastic conference with fantastic speakers geared toward “next generation leaders.”

: Meeting Craig Groeschel

Aside from a backpack full of free books, I came home with a notebook full of ideas. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the speakers I was able to hear:

Craig Groeschel
1. “Don’t build your ministry on what you’re against. Build your ministry on what you’re for.”
2. “We’re not here to make a name. We’re here to make a difference.”
3. “Don’t worry when you face resistance. Worry when you don’t.”
4. “If you blame yourself for the declines, you’ll take credit for the increases.”
5. “If you’re not ready to face opposition in being used by God, you’re not ready to be used by God.”

CONFIDENT FAITH, BY MARK MITTELBERG (A BOOK REVIEW)

April 25, 2013 in Resources

“This may well be the most important book you read this year!” ~Lee Strobel

Strobel’s endorsement is no exaggeration regarding the new book, Confident Faith: Building a Firm Foundation for Your Beliefs, by Mark Mittelberg. Originally released in 2008 under the title, Choosing Your Faith (the title of which I actually like better), this edition is a major revision and definitely worth reading.

Confident Faith is an excellent resource that offers insight to people who are Christians and people who are not. I love Mittelberg’s methodology. He starts by establishing what faith really is and how each one of us actually exercises faith in something every day.

3 LITTLE BOOKS EVERY COLLEGE STUDENT SHOULD READ

April 4, 2013 in Resources

As one who has been doing ministry among college-age people for more than ten years, I’m always on the lookout for new resources. That’s why I was thrilled to discover the Coffee House Chronicles, coauthored by Josh McDowell and Dave Sterrett.

These three small books are specifically geared toward those in, or about to go into, college. What’s unique about them is that they are written in a dialogue format as a story. While each book can be read as a stand-alone, they follow a set of characters made up of college students and professors.

UNCONDITIONAL, A MUST-SEE MOVIE

March 6, 2013 in Resources

Last night, my wife and I rented a movie from Red Box called Unconditional.

Wow! It. Was. Fan. Tastic.

Have you ever been so moved by a story that you wanted to share it with others, but instead of trying to explain the reasons why, you just said, “Trust me”?

That’s what I’m doing here.

Don’t waste money renting this movie. Buy it. Buy a copy for a friend while you’re at it. As soon as you’re done watching it, you’ll want to watch it again.

Trust me.

FINDING JESUS IN THE MESS OF ORGANIZED RELIGION

February 12, 2013 in Resources

Dan Kimball is on my list of top ten favorite authors, among the likes of Randy Alcorn, Andy Stanley, Lee Strobel and Craig Groeschel.

I had the privilege of hearing Dan speak shortly after the release of his book, They Like Jesus But Not The Church. Aside from speaking and writing, Dan is a Bible teacher on staff with Vintage Faith Church in Santa Cruz, CA.

About The Book
Adventures In Churchland; Finding Jesus In the Mess of Organized Religion, is divided into three parts.

Part 1 is an introduction to the strange and unusual world of Churchland.
Part 2 addresses two areas of tension: judgmentalism and organized religion.
Part 3 explores ways we can become the church Jesus envisioned.

NEW YEAR’S EVE CONCERT WITH MARTY GOETZ

January 2, 2013 in Resources

“Have you ever heard of Marty Goetz?”

My wife, Jennifer, asked me that question when we were dating four years ago. When I told her that I had never heard of Marty, her face lit up with excitement because she couldn’t wait to introduce his music to me.

Jennifer had me sit down in her parent’s living room to watch an old DVD of Marty in concert. I think I kind of poked fun of the music after listening to the first song. After all, a piano player with a mullet didn’t really fit the mold of my favorite bands like David Crowder, Toby Mac, Switchfoot and Gungor.

Testimonials

This is one of the most effective ways I have ever seen to plant the Word of God in your heart and mind. You will find the answers to life as you ask the right questions. Tyler Ellis has provided excellent questions to help you on your journey of faith. — JIM BURNS, PhD, http://www.homeword.com

Like many of the ancients including Socrates, Jesus loved to teach by way of asking questions of his audience. ‘What do you think?’ Jesus asked repeatedly, and you just have to believe that the tone of his voice was more like: ‘What do YOU think?’ Not your church, not your preacher, not your parents, not your friends, not the world at large, but what do YOU think? That is the beauty of the unique approach to Scripture that Tyler Ellis has captured in his thought-full book: Question… — F. LAGARD SMITH, Compiler and Narrator of The Daily Bible (the NIV in chronological order)

The growing Bible disconnect in ‘Bible Country’ has a cause. The Bible still has the Answers, so it must be that we no longer have the questions. Tyler Ellis offers us a solution by giving us the QUESTIONS. It is Bible Q & A. — STEVE SAINT, http://www.itecusa.org

May God use Tyler Ellis’s book Question Everything to open the beauty of the Bible to many — RAY COMFORT, http://www.livingwaters.com

Intriguing … and powerful. In its simplicity and starkness, Question Everything rescues Bible study and reading from the perfunctory and returns them to the wondrous and exhilarating — PHYLLIS TICKLE, http://www.phyllistickle.com

Wisdom doesn’t begin with having the right answers, but with asking the right questions. Question Everything is a wonderful way to pursue the wisdom of God. It won’t just help you go through the Bible; it will help the Bible go through you. — RICK ATCHLEY, Minister of the Word, The Hills Church of Christ

"I love the Bible. And I love Tyler Ellis. Tyler not only reads the Bible. He practices it. When I look at spiritual giants to find a common denominator in their lives, it is nearly always daily Bible reading. Question Everything will make your times in God's Word more productive and more enjoyable--no question about it." — DR. MILTON JONES, http://www.christianrelieffund.org

Tyler Ellis’s Question Everything fits into the ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ category. Bible reading is like any reading in this respect: we’ll enjoy it more and get more out of it if we bring our curiosity (questions) to the text. The verse-by-verse approach that Ellis employs will pull the reader in closer to what is written, stimulate great discussion, and help all of us encounter Scripture in exciting, life-changing ways. This book will work well for private Bible reading and… — DAN DUPEE, http://www.ccojubilee.org

In this life, we spend a lot of time seeking answers, but rarely do we consider if we are pursuing the right questions. In this book, Tyler has built a framework of questions that can be your guide to deeper study and understanding. — JIM STOVALL, http://www.jimstovall.com

Before I read a book, I want to know that I can trust the author. I can personally attest that Tyler is a gifted Bible teacher, he has a deep love for those he is mentoring, and I’ve seen him serve those who are living in poverty. Tyler humbly lives out his faith in a real and genuine way. He is an author you can trust. This resource that he has developed is creative and yet simple. By simply asking questions, it will walk with you through the trustworthy ancient paths of God’s Word, aid… — RON EVERINGHAM, http://www.apacheyouth.com
