Today, I had the unbelievable privilege to speak at the Stewardship Challenge hosted by Crossroads Church (Pastor Brian Tome).  I was the mule invited to the Kentucky Derby.  The line-up was:

• Rick Campbell (Injoy Stewardship Solutions)
• John Maxwell (EQUIP, Author, Leader's Leader, INJOY, 16,000,000 books sold (true statement))
• Brian Tome (Pastor of Crossroads - unbelievable church, author, passionate leader, influencer)
• Me.

So what did I do?  I took advantage of the opportunity to LEARN!  I LOVE LEARNING!  I scribbled notes so fast that the pen made a huge dent in the side of my finger (has that ever happened to you? – it is weird!).

Here are some outstanding nuggets I learned from John:

• Am I willing to pay the price for my dream?
• In the beginning, dreams are free.  That's why we love them so much!
• The only way some people could get excited is if they could get away from themselves.
• John confirmed his retirement plans: when he dies
• When he stopped pursuing vision, the resources stopped.

Here are some outstanding nuggets I learned from Brian:

• Vision is recession-proof!
• Develop a culture.  Don't raise a budget.
• Passionate about FREE.  Give away everything.  (Crossroads has their atrium open all day long with free wi-fi, fountain drinks, coffee, and other outstanding amenities)

Here are some oustanding nuggets I learned from Rick:

• Be strong and courageous
• Be strong and very courageous
• I will share the rest in a later post – awesome devotional to start the day

A great day!
