• “3 years ago, to the day, was the first time the phrase ‘Welcome to Brand New Church’ was said!”
• Transparency - our greatest strength and greatest weakness
  • Concerning discomfort? - What’s not working?
  • Buy-in - What gives your people buy-in to the vision?
  • Connectivity - How do you know that the organization is connected enough to know if someone is bought in? How are things communicated throughout your organization?
  • Projects - What are things that need to happen right now to move you forward?
  • Identify Who the Leader Is - The leader is who goes to hell and back with you……and then does it again.
  • We will no longer be about merely managing crisis and keeping mental happiness!
• Are you a leader? A leader:
  • Has the Ability to Grow
    • Growing spiritually
    • Growing martially
    • If you’re not growing, the enemy will have a foothold in your life.
  • Doesn’t desire to be liked, but to make the right decision
  • Doesn’t introduce your fears to your kids but share with them the possibilities of what is in them!
  • Sees opportunities in little windows.
    • If you have a big window, then you can create the outcome.
    • “I have been paralyzed by what I know, instead of what God knows!”
    • Seldom does an opportunity come to you in a big window. You can’t reach out and grab it, you can usually only see it through a small window.
  • Unbinds themselves from the ordinary.
    • Remember when the first time you started your job? That passion? That isn’t ordinary!
    • God always does thing in extra-ordinary ways!
  • Is generous.
  • Respects the differences.
    • We will not be a church obsessed with saving the saved, we will be a church obsessed with the lost!
• Are you ready?
• “So, three years later, I’d like to say ‘Welcome to Brand New Church. You ain’t seen nothing yet!’”
