Blogging the Unleash Conference

on March 15th, 2007

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.

Josh, I read/lurk on your blog and the podcast. I went to Unleash today. It was amazing. Tony did a great breakout on blogging. He didn’t mention anything about having a girlfriend though.
