Congratulations to David Friesen, from Brentview Baptist Church in Calgary, Alberta for winning the iPad! David’s name was randomly drawn from the Drive 2010 attendees who provided feedback on their conference experience.
Thanks to all attendees who took the time to share their thoughts from Drive 2010.
Enjoy your new iPad, David!
Drive 2010 has come and gone. It went by way too fast! We hope that the event was helpful and fun. If you attended, you should receive an email with a link to share your feedback with us. Your input is extremely important to us. We read every single comment. Really.
We are so grateful for all the leaders who came to be with us. We hope to see all of you next year!
We will be streaming the first main session of Drive here. If you can’t be here with us, join us online.
It’s raining here in Atlanta today. We want to brighten the day by giving something away. The next 5 people to register for Drive will win a Drive iPhone skin. Ready, set….
One of our breakouts at Drive 2010 is titled “Partnering With Parents.” In this video, Billy Phenix shares a preview of what this session is all about and discussed our belief that what happens at home is really more important than what happens at church. At Drive, Billy will talk about the roles of the parents and the church in the spiritual development of our children, and what that looks like in our ministry environments.
What obstacles can the church create in the spiritual development of our children?
Here is a great article by Kendra Fleming on intentionally developing the leaders around you.
What are you doing to develop leaders around you?
Part 2 of our interview with Lauren on the worship service programming model.
Yesterday our staff had the honor of spending time with a great leader, a leader who has spent his life “taking it off-road.” We were honored to hear from Andrew Young, Jr. He was a friend and aide to Martin Luther King, Jr. during the civil rights movement, the first black congressman, mayor of Atlanta for two terms, and a U.S. ambassador. Mr. Young was brought up to believe that “from those to whom much has been given, much will be required.” He accepted that responsibility from a young age and lived his life following that principle.
We believe that there is tremendous value in learning from leaders who are leaving their mark on this world. Who is your team looking to for inspiration?
At Drive 09, Lauren Espy led a breakout titled “The Worship Service Programming Model.” We recently sat down with Lauren and asked her to share with us some examples of this model in action. At Drive 2010, Andy is going to share the details of the grid that we use to evaluate our Sunday morning services.
Just in case you missed Lauren’s breakout at Drive 09, we have included the audio here.
