Morning Highlights of DC Orange Tour Stop

Theme is lead change, lead small

Reggie Joyner opened up…
– Church and families combined can make a lasting impact…two combined influences make a greater impact.

At least 30% of the audience is Volunteers at the event

Reggie picks back up again…
– “Change is not an option, but how you respond to it is.”
– 3 responses to change: 1. Ignore it, 2. Hold on and let it drive you to where you don’t want to go, 3. Make an adjustment & use it to where you want to go
– leadership is leveraging change to get to where you want to go
– when you lead change you decide to make adjustments to present methods for the sake of a sacred mission
– adjust the method for the sake of the mission
– we need to figure out for each individual ministry what is the methods we need to use and change for the sake of the mission
– 25% of Americans treat Sunday like a holy day…everyone else treats it like a holiday
– our problem is that we won’t leave the 25% to go after everyone else
– something radical has to happen in the church for the community to realize that we care about them
– families are changing, the culture is changing…we need to make every family (regardless of what they look like) to understand the restoration story of Christ
– your response to their family will determine how they feel about the church…regardless of what their version of family looks like
– there is a lot at stake
– if we don’t adjust, you risk of becoming irrelevant and ignored
