Kurt Johnston is one of my favorite speakers. One, I feel more connected with Middle School Ministry so we share the same passion in our soul and two, I feel like I would be a lot like Kurt had I been born in Cali. Enjoy the coffee Kurt!
So here are the 25 lessons, as always check back after the conference for more detailed notes.
1: Every church has "unwritten rules".
2: It's a Chips game.
-all about earning and losing trust.
3: Attach myself to someone who is a few steps ahead.
4: The grass is always greener where I water it.
5: Eventually the squeaky wheel get's replaced.
6: Most of my relationships are situational
-if the situation changes the relationship changes or ceases to exhist.
7: The Power of Nice (or don't be a tool)
8: Leave the wanting more
-shorter messages, shorter stories, don't overplay a game.
