At Innovation3, John Bishop of Living Hope Church (Vancouver, WA) discussed how to have 20/20 vision.

Innovation for the future is less about innovation and more about simplification.

To us, our plans sometimes trump God’s purpose. However, it is God’s purpose will ultimately prevail.

A dangerous church cares less about having a breakthrough idea and more about having a broken heart. God does His best work in our weakness, but we hate weakness.

You have to be listening to the Spirit of the Holy God. You don’t have to candy coat the gospel. People want the truth. The gospel is powerful.

Pray that your church is rid of fears. Let yourself have a broken heart.

We have to be less about competing with each other and more about celebrating each other’s wins. That is when God will release the Holy Spirit in a way that brings revival.

Am I hot, cold, or lukewarm?

Over time you can get indifferent. You can grow hard. You can use people. Be okay to be broken. People matter.
