gaining and sustaining momentum

The first session of Catalyst One Day in Dallas kicked off with Andy Stanley hitting on momentum. One of the things I appreciate about Andy is that his approach is both systematic and spiritual.
  • Momentum creates a new set of problems that makes it difficult to sustain.
  • What will my level of tolerance be for a lack of momentum?
  • Andy’s definition of momentum: Forward motion fueled by a series of wins.
  • Components of momentum: new, improvement, and improving.
  • Momentum is never triggered by tweaking something old. It is triggered by introducing something new.
  • People have a hard time letting go of bad ideas, so the new must be noticeably better than the old.
  • Good stories can support bad ideas, but everything must be evaluated, including the good and the great. The clock is ticking on its success.
  • If momentum is slipping, you can rarely regain it by simply doing what you did to create it in the first place.
  • What is God blessing and can a specific reason God is blessing it be identified?
