Catalyst Day 1 – Notes

I’ve got a livescribe pen that I used today at Catalyst.  This pen allows me to record the speaker while I take notes.  Anyway, I’m going to share my notes with you guys here.

Andy Stanley: Andy always makes me mad when he speaks at Catalyst because he convicts me and makes me think.  Seriously, this is an inspired talk about moral authority and how it’s needed when trying to motivate others to step up in some way.

Jim Collins: I already knew this but Jim Collin’s talk just reinforced the fact that he’s absolutely brilliant.  I found it hard to take notes because I kept getting drawn in to his talk.

Steven Furtick: This was the most inspiring talk of the day.  They only gave him 25 minutes to talk but I could have listened to him for an hour.  Everyone in the ministry should listen to this one.  He really brought the house down.

Seth Godin: I’m a big fan of Seth Godin and I thoroughly enjoyed his talk.  He’s a master presenter.  His use of “slides” during his presentation was in a class all by itself.  His content was also stellar.  He gave everyone a free copy of his book and I think his brilliant talk just made me want to start reading the book immediately!

I’m sorry to say that I didn’t get a chance to hear or take notes on the other speakers of the day.  Brenda Salter McNeil was great.  She is a gifted communicator.

I suggest you hit the “full screen” arrow first.  Then, hit the play button to start the audio.  (BTW, if you click on any of my notes, you’ll jump to the point of the talk where I wrote it down.)  Let me know what you think.

  1. How awesome is this? Thanks for sharing with the underprivileged. I’ve already listened to Furtick’s message. It was really good.

    Are you sure this is even legal??? :)

  5. Paul, I just fixed the Godin link. Try it again now. Also, I have a copy of his book that I could send you if you’re interested. Just email me privately and I’ll get it out to you.
