Nuggets from #THENINES

September 9, 2010, Leadership Network* put on the 2010 edition of "The Nines". I've started combing through the Program Book** provided by Leadership Network. Here is a collection of just NINE of the great game changing truths that jumped out at me so far:

• Stay small - keep Him big. (Dino Rizzo)
• As leaders, one of the biggest things we do is help navigate gray. We navigate confusion, complexity - things we don’t see the other side of. (Jenni Catron)
• As long as there is time on the clock, God can still change the game. (Jaime Loya)
• You can't delegate prayer. (Naeem Fazal)
• Crises are life changing experiences if you find God in them. (Stacy Spencer)
• There is no plan B, without Jesus we are dead. (Patrick Kelley)
• There's hope, health and healing that can come when you do the scariest thing - tell somebody else you're struggling. (Toby Slough)
• What we see depends on what we're looking for. (Scott Williams)
• Quit trying to be someone else, copying everything some other pastor does and trying to grab a hold of every new trend.  (Jonathan Falwell)

This doesn't even come close to being the tip of the iceberg. There is so much information in the Program Book. If you want to know how to turn the information into life-changing behavior, check my previous post on TheNines.

I never get to experience as much of the nines as I want to - thanks, Scott for doing this kind of thing to bring out some stand-out sessions.

You bet Herb. It is a ton of useful information in a short span of time. But if we can weave the learning into our journey in a tailored format, we'll be better in the long run.

Stay strong!
