Empty Nets
We’ve all been there. There’s something incredibly wearying when you work and see no results.
I believe part of the journey is for our benefit not for the ones we’re doing it for.
We need to develop our natural skills: language, leader, administrator – natural skills aren’t enough to do the job but they will be needed. Work on our communication skills.
Just because the nets are empty doesn’t mean there are no fish. The Lord can produce the greatest harvest in the most forsaken place on earth.
1st Morning Session – Dan Mucci
To become a greater leader you have to become a greater servant.
Royal Law of Love: Mercy vs. Judgement
First Impressions Are Lasting Impressions
Service of any kind isn’t merely about first impressions. It is about lasting impressions. ‘Wow’ impressions matter because people matter.

Being Intentionally Pervasive is about Making Connections
We have the most important message there is.
We’re in the influence business.
Who should share?
Anyone who wants to be intentional in sharing, building relationships, mentoring, etc.
Emerging generations may not believe in absolutes but they do believe in relationships.
Social Media:
Why should we use it?
Be intentional.
Since they’re spending half their time on that device you better be on that device.
