We enjoyed a little Aussie flavor this afternoon with a session by Brian Houston from Hillsong. Here are some clips from his message…

  • “I hope you can understand my accent, because when we get to Heaven…we’ll all sound like me.”
  • “If you want to empower people, you have to have a big Kingdom mindset.”
  • Practice taking second place.
  • Oversee a culture of permission. Say “yes” more often.
  • “Can people flourish in my ministry?”
  • There’s a balance between grace and challenge.
  • II Timothy 1:13
  • Empowerment is about interdependence not independence.
  • “See the wealth [value not money] in the people around you.”
  • I think Brian resembles Nicolas Cage.
  • “Live your life honoring the old and promoting the new.”
  • “Speak into the potential of people.”
  • Speaking of Ed Young, “I’ve never heard a man ask so many questions in all my life.”
  • “Ed Young must be one of the nosiest persons I’ve ever met.”
  • Have a heart that wants to learn and grow.
  • Cause. Mission. Vision.
  • Brian just took a drink of water. It appears that he likes American water.
  • “Same cause. Same mission. Sewn through different visions.”
