God Ideas vs. Good Ideas
I have a little formula: change of pace + change of place = change of perspective. Works like a charm! We have to disrupt our routine so we can think new thoughts. That is why we do our planning retreat off site. It gets us out of our environment and out of our routine.
Really feel like God is revealing some things on this retreat. And that is the ultimate goal. I'd rather have one God idea than a thousand good ideas!
I also feel like this retreat is a great expression of our core value: work like it depends on you and pray like it depends on God. Without God's hand of favor, forget it. But we also have to work hard. And hard work is a form of worship!
Sure would appreciate your prayers for our team. Big day in front of us!

Thanks for this great reminder!
Great equation Mark. I find some of my best ideas come when I get out of the same four walls. Have a great retreat! Try to avoid cornhole injuries.
Bravo! Simple yet poignant post! God's best to you during your process!
Blessings
Great thought regarding retreating and God idea vs good idea. Love it.
Ask and you shall receive my friend!
Believe you already have received and live with that gratitude.
Basic stuff you already know, but fun and easy when you apply it daily!
Have you read The Secret, I'd love to get your opinions...
I find it helps me apply biblical principals and my faith to my real life. For me it was the missing link, maybe your audience would benefit?
Prayers are constant for NCC.
Mark,
I've been thinking about these sorta things lately as I'm working through some leadership changes with my team. I'd love to know more about your process with your teaching team that you shared about on Twitter. If you have the time.
Thanks and Blessings.

Mark, I just read a line like that in your "Wild Goose Chase" book. GREAT SAYING, I think I'll have that printed on my business cards.
Hey there Mark -
I have a quick question. Changing place + change of pace = change in perspective is definitely true. I've seen it play out in my life. I was wondering though if you thought those to be the two key ingredients, or if they are a context that leads to a different perspective. I'm interested to hear (read) your thoughts on this.
