Lessons I Learned At Drive: Volume 1 (and Wednesday night stuff)

  • One of the big takeaways the Drive conference promoted was healthy staff cultures. Do you have a healthy staff culture at your church. Andy said that whenever there is a gap between what you expect from someone and what they actually deliver, you have to choose what you place in that gap. There are only two choices: trust and mistrust. Staff members have to trust each other and be trustworthy. Often times in church life, people come to you with complaints about other staff members. We must choose to defend and trust in the rest of our team.
  • To end the first message, Andy posed this question: “Are the relationships around the staff table worth exporting to the rest of the congregation?” Wow. That will make you think.
  • We had an awesome service last night. Our set list was: Happy Day by Tim Hughes, Here Is OUr King by David Crowder, Spring of Life by Kristian Stanfill, The Wonderful Cross by Chris Tomlin, and God of Wonders.
  • Our message last night was called Remote Control and focused on the beauty and signifigance of the Lord’s Supper. The message will be up on the website later this morning if you want to check it out.

  1. I just want say AMEN , How can I pass this information on tactfully to a few people that really need to hear this – “Do you have a healthy staff culture at your church.
