Here are the notes from Perry’s main session at the church planter’s conference:

  • "I still have no idea what I’m doing."
  • Exodus 33
  • Relook at your calling.
  • "If you’re a pissed off youth pastor, don’t go start a church. If you’re a disgruntled staff member, don’t go start a church. You have to be called by God."
  • "Church planting is not safe. It’s not easy. God always calls us to things that are unsafe. If you want to be safe, get out of ministry."
  • Relook at your people.
  • Make sure you have the right people on board. "God, if you’ve called me to do this, who have you called to do this with me."
  • "If you are afraid to ask people for serious commitment, then you don’t need to lead your church."
  • Relook at your vision.
  • Exodus 33:13
  • "If your vision is to be like someone else, that’s not a vision. That’s an admonition."
  • Relook at your potential.
  • Exodus 33:14-18
  • The glory of God is not found in committees and voting.
  • "If you’re preaching the Gospel, it can’t be watered down."
  • "It’s only beginning. God can do more."
  • Eph. 3:20 > God’s potential is unlimited. So, for his sake, don’t give up.
