third culture is focused on the misfits not the masses
using example of Steve Jobs at Apple
masses don't lead us, the fringe does
if there is a time we can impact culture, it is right now
the fringe leads movements
vision starts in the center with the leader
who is the outsider?
love and serve those in the margins of society
third culture has a different set of metrics
failure is success to God
your pain is your platform to humanity
your weakness is a gift from God that he allows you to have so you can impact this world
their story is more important than their strengths
do you take time to listen to their story?
walk slowly, see the people
weakness guides us more than our strengths
how do we quantify vision?
relationships trump vision
you can't have great vision unless you have a great relationship with God
we don't need more visionaries, we need more relationaries
we need a different set of metrics in the church
how my life changed 1)priority shifts
he spends more time now equipping leaders
the best discipleship happens life on life
hang out with people who are not like you
read authors you don't agree with
for the 3rd culture leader....obedience is more important than passion
4 acts of obedience 1)deeper collaboration 2)communal living 3)prayer 4)radical sacrifice for the outsider
