Innovate Conference- Jack Graham/Brian Bloye

Jack Graham is the Pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas. Here is some of what he shared at Innovate:
  • Your character is more important than your reputation. Praying is more important than preaching. A message is more important than a sermon. Being credible is more important than being credentialed. Faithfulness is more important than success. Eternity is more important than earth.
  • People are not looking for perfection but progression.
  • Don't just get things done, be passionate.
  • Prayerlessness promotes independence and self-reliance.
  • Ways to show you care: be approachable; have a "yes" face; offer positive praise; say thank you; know names; be accepting; be prompt
Brian Bloye is the Lead Pastor of West Ridge Church in Dallas, Georgia (metro Atlanta). Following are some notes from his session at Innovate:
  • Sometimes God sets us aside to strengthen and refine use; don't bail on the process.
  • God is more concerned with maturing me and developing my character than about my comfort
  • Sometimes what God does is in answer to our prayers
  • A dry brook is often a sign of God's pleasure, not His disappointment in my life
