More Catalyst

In five months we will be in Atlanta at the Catalyst Conference. Some of you may know about Catalyst and some may not. The dates are October 8 – 10, 2008. I suggest you learn more about it.

The Catalyst conference is described in the brochure as – ‘a movement, a convergence, an experience where you find yourself fully immersed in learning, worship and creativity’.

‘…Catalyst is a desperately needed space for leaders to learn to innovate and create as they lead their small groups, teams and churches. It is a pure leadership experience complete with learning, worship and out-of-the-box creativity. We like to consider it as a much anticipated family reunion.’

You might be wondering, why I would want to encourage you to go to another conference. You have probably been to other conferences. You may think you have heard it all. You may be overworked. Or things may going really well. Maybe you can’t afford it.

Leadership requires stretching yourself, getting out of your comfort zone, learning from more experienced leaders and being an example for your team or organization. Leadership requires stepping out on faith.

I want you to go because you want to go, not because you have to go. I want you to want to be the best leader you can possibly be. I want you to realize you have to put yourself in a position to learn from the best leaders you can.

I hope you’re hungry for more. I believe you’ll find it at Catalyst.
