I had an excellent time participating in the Aha! Conference today. Aha was hosted by Leadership Network which puts out some incredibly cool and practical leadership resources. The online conference gathered about 40 different speakers, leaders, pastors, and teachers. These speakers were asked to describe in 6 minutes or less their “Aha” moment in ministry.

Some of the speakers talked about the moment they came to faith in Jesus. Some talked about a breakthrough in working with volunteers. Others talked about something they struggled with or something that they were able to overcome through the grace of Almighty God.

I took extensive notes on most of the speakers that I was able to hear (I had to take a break to have lunch with one of my leaders). I will post a few of the my favorite take-aways tomorrow here on the blog.

Sometime this weekend I think I’ll post one of my Aha! moments. There was a time when I faced a fierce critic. Through some tough love from one of my bosses I learned an invaluable lesson on working with, approaching, and overcoming critical voices in my ministry. I had a Aha! moment when I was able to see clearly, act boldly, and overcome. It just took listening to voices that mattered and putting a little faith in God’s control. That’s all. Simple right? Hardly. I look forward to sharing this with you guys.

Until then, have a great night. Get some rest. God has amazing things in store for us tomorrow.
