My girlfriend Tony is blogging the Unleash Conference, and I sure wish I could have gone. Instead, I have to read his blog with some highlights and learnings. And you should, too. Here’s a few of them, more if you follow the link:

• “Church is an incredibly confusing place if you don’t know the rules.” When you don’t understand, the rules are confusing.
• “If you’re Baptist, you think your normal.”
• The problem with most churches is this. They say, “If you don’t know the rules, to Hell with you.”
• America is seeking God like crazy, but they’re not coming to Church to find him.
• We need creative environments.
• “Christianity is the most exciting thing to ever hit this planet, and it’s taken the Church 2,000 years to make it boring.”
• The sermon begins in the parking lot. Within the first 15 minutes, people decide whether or not they’re going to return–before they’ve even heard the sermon.
• Every week is someone’s first week in this church.
