Drive Day 2

Well, today was a long day.  I attended breakouts about healthy staff cultures, recruiting and retaining leaders, and church planting.  In Main Session 2 Andy talked about what it takes to become a great staff.  Here are some takeaways:

• To lead, we must serve (Mark 10)
• The goal is a staff culture characterized by mutual submission
• Ask the people you serve/lead - how can I help you?
• What's more important, creating a great organization or creating a name for yourself?
• What's rewarded is repeated

Then we all drove up to Browns Bridge and had dinner on outside and enjoyed a surprise show by Jeff Foxworthy.  I laughed harder than I can ever remember.  On the way back to the hotel we stopped by Bruster's for some ice cream and conversation.  Tonight was a lot of fun and we all had a great time.
