Andy Stanley Highlights from Catalyst 2014


Andy Stanley

3 things I want to give you to help you make change in the local church. A laser focus vision statement, cast it over & over & over, organize to your vision statement.

The church should b the safest place on the planet 4 students 2 talk about anything. Including same-sex attraction.

The church must stop expecting outsiders to act like insiders while insiders act like outsiders.

Jesus raised the standard high so we would realize we couldn’t possibly do it without a savior.

If we start to dumb down what has been made clear, where does that stop?

Why do we create churches for 50-year-olds and let culture take the students?

If culture markets itself to win over students, why is the church designed to win over 40-50 year olds?

I want church to be so winsome, so engaging, that students say to themselves, “Why would I miss that?

Christains need to be known not for what we’re against, but for what we are for.

What is this generation of students worth? EVERYTHING!

“If every Christian would quit watching porn, buying & smoking weed, having pre marital sex, committing adultery, pay their taxes, & foster some children we would see change in the national culture.

If this happened for 3 months our culture would be changed in this Nation.

Change: It’s not giving something up…it’s finding something better.
