PD Summit 08: Rick Warren

May 20, 2008 in Leadership with Comments Off

Here are some highlights from Rick’s first session at the Purpose Driven Network Summit:

  • Right now, “I pastor pastors.”
  • Saddleback has sent almost 8,000 members overseas with the P.E.A.C.E plan.
  • History has proven that the introduction of new technology usually proceeds a reformation in the church. That’s where we are with the Internet today.
  • Renewal process always looks like this: (1) personal renewal with God, (2) relational renewal with others, (3) missional renewal when the church identifies it’s purpose, (4) cultural renewal, (5) structural renewal (6) institutional change outside of the church
  • “Institutions preserve the change of the previous generations.” [Tony said: That's profound. Is your church about renewal or preservation?]

    Now I see why they pegged you as one of the top 5 Christian bloggers in the country.

    Thanks for twittering and letting us know about Rick’s live feed yesterday. One of my ministry associates caught it together. I was really challenged with personal renewal… it ALL builds on that! – Thanks!
