Last week, The Rocket Company dispatched me to the Catalyst Conference to live blog from the event.  While there I connected with many friends and fellow Christian leadership writers.

As a sign of my thanks for how well everyone treated me, the following are The Top 10 Posts I Read The Week Of October 7th from people I either met or reconnected with while at Catalyst.

  1.  Thoughts On Firing People In Ministry by Ron Edmondson
  2. Why Does God Allow Pain And Suffering by Jen Hatmaker
  3. Making The Choice To Move On by Joseph Lalonde
  4. The Dilemma Of Missions by Chris Lautsbaugh
  5. An Update On Me, And Why This Catalyst Theme Of KNOWN Is So Personal by Brad Lomenick
  6. Why I Believe In the Doctrine Of Election by Bryan Loritts
  7. 10 Things People Want Before They Will Give To Your Church by Tony Morgan
  8. 10 Basic People Skills by Dan Reiland
  9. 10 Indispensable Practices Of The 2-Minute Leader by Matt Steen and Todd Rhoades.  See my interview with two great friends promoting my new book.
  10. How Long Can You Succeed In Ministry WITHOUT God by Geoff Surratt.  This post is via ChurchLeaders.com.  Headed up by Brian Orme, I feel this is the best website for Christian leaders on the internet.

In conclusion, I want to give a special thanks to Brad Lomenick and the entire Catalyst team.  I consider them great friends in ministry and they always give me and everyone else star treatment.

Brad, thank you for all you have done and enjoy your sabbatical my friend.  Well deserved.
