How to start a movement

LeadersVillage — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 20:47:35 +0000

It’s no secret that there is a growing discontent within many evangelical churches. And many leaders are trying to determine a way to lean into this discontent to enact Kingdom transformation in and through local churches. This process of transformation can also be considered a movement. This brief yet brilliant session from TED2010 shows, in very simple terms, how to start a movement of your own.

With help from some surprising footage, Derek Sivers explains how movements really get started. (Hint: it takes two.)

Not so average street-bike skills

We are pleased to offer the closing session from The Leadership Summit 2008.

How did this session speak to you?

The Web as random acts of kindness.

Feeling like the world is becoming less friendly? Social theorist Jonathan Zittrain begs to difffer. The Internet, he suggests, is made up of millions of disinterested acts of kindness, curiosity and trust. This is from the amazing team over at TED.com from a TEDGlobal event at Oxford. Have a look.

The Internet is inherently a selfless medium. Sure it’s jam packed full of capitalism and greedy, but it is becoming a place of true connectedness and sharing.

If that’s the case with such sites as Wikipedia and Tripadvisor and all manners of behind the scenes policing, what does that mean for the sharing of information? Actually, not just just sharing but collaboration and sacrifice for the good of the whole.

What if all of the information in the heads of leaders like you was effectively and ‘wisely’ shared with everyone else? What if your story – your personal narrative – was the stuff needed to help out hundreds, thousands, millions of others along their own journey?

That is the hope of Leaders Village. Will you sacrifice? What’s holding you back?

So you’ve decided to join the conversation…

We are tickled that you have decided to join the conversation about how, together, we can unify the church by connecting the skill, strategy, and story of Christian leaders across Canada.

This site has been created to facilitate discussion about what could be and should be developed to facilitate a learning, sharing and relating environment.

The format will be a series of question posed by other leaders aiming towards the development of a system that makes your life a bit easier and simpler so you can focus on the most important things – your relationship with God and others.

Simple really, but then aren’t the best things in life so?

Here’s the first question?

Do you connect with other leaders outside of your congregation via web-based media? Why or why not?

Answer through the comments link above. Create some dialogue. Be bold. Be honest.

Here’s the video from the Leadership Summit 2009 to jog your memory.
