Here are the main notes of mine and several of my twitter friends (@shaunking, @vinceparker, @moviepastor, @cadillaczak, & @susannereeder) from Perry Noble’s main morning session at Newspring’s Unleash Conference:

• jasoncurlee: There is a major breakdown in communication between Jesus and His people. @perrynoble #unleash
• jasoncurlee: The church in America has stripped the Bride of Christ of her wedding gown. #unleash
• jasoncurlee: It doesn’t belong to the deacons, the elders, Mr. & Mrs. Smith…it belongs to JESUS. #unleash
• jasoncurlee: Three questions for church: #unleash
• jasoncurlee: 1) Are we willing to embrace change????? #unleash
• shaunking: Perry says, “When you think your poop doesn’t stink, God will use your for His glory, but not for anything significant.” #Unleash
• jasoncurlee: RT @susannereeder: God is famous for choosing men and women who’s lives are falling apart to do his best work. #unleash
• shaunking: Every church in America is 1 or 2 changes away from doubling in size, but they MUST embrace CHANGE! #Unleash
• susannereeder: When the church becomes as valuable to us as the stock market is, we will wake up, smell the Starbucks and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! #unleash
• jasoncurlee: RT @mynameisbrandon: “Every denomination in the last 30 years is declining. If it was your money, you’d do something about it.” #unleash
• vinceparker: When the Church becomes as valueble as the stockmarket then youll do something about it@perrynoble #unleash
• susannereeder: Everybody here can look at another church and call the change that they need to make, but they can’t see it in their own church. #unleash
• jasoncurlee: Church has a choice…change or die
• vinceparker: Church has a choice change or die @perrynoble #unleash
• moviepastor: some churches need to die @perrynoble #unleash
• susannereeder: If what’s going on in your church is manageable, GOD’S NOT THERE!! You can’t manage a move of God! #unleash
• jasoncurlee: If what’s going on in your church is manageable then it’s not God…God
• shaunking: If what’s going on in your church can be managed, it’s not a move of God! When God moves, you can’t quite manage and plan it. #Unleash
• vinceparker: If your church is manageable the God is not there, you can’t manage a move of God @perrynoble #unleash
• jasoncurlee: You can’t plan a move of God…A move of God is messy… #unleash
• vinceparker: You can’t plan a move of God @perrynoble #unleash
• susannereeder: A movement of God is messy, and if you don’t want “messy” in your church, then you don’t really want a move of God. #unleash
• jasoncurlee: How comfortable are you with people showing up to your church drunk or high???? A move of God is messy. #unleash
• vinceparker: If your trying to tell people who can and can’t come to your church your basicly telling God he can’t come. @perrynoble #unleash
• moviepastor: You cannot manage a move of God. @perrynoble. #unleash.
• shaunking: If you are trying to determine who can and cannot come to church, you are telling God that He cannot come to your church. #Unleash
• susannereeder: We’ve got to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. #unleash
• moviepastor: you’ve got to be comfortable being uncomfortable #unleash
• susannereeder: You can’t preach on tithing, people will leave! /Just the people who aren’t giving. #unleash
• susannereeder: You know who has the hardest time with the church changing as it grows? The Staff! #unleash
• jasoncurlee: Let the voice of God drive the decisions…not the money!!!!!! #unleash
• vinceparker: If it God’s will it’s Gods bill, if God said do it he’ll make it happen no matter what the economy @perrynoble #unleash
• shaunking: The church in the Book of Acts is changing from chapter to chapter to chapter because they were growing. #Unleash
• susannereeder: Don’t let the economy be an issue. I think God gets more glory in a BAD economy than a good economy! #unleash
• vinceparker: RT @jasoncurlee: Let the voice of God drive the decisions…not the money!!!!!! #unleash
• jasoncurlee: The Pastor and staff can’t do everything… #unleash
• susannereeder: DC Talk, Eddie DeGarmo, and Steven Curtis Chapman aren’t doing it for the youth anymore! #unleash
• shaunking: If you wanna see your church take off, pastors must get their hands off of every single ministry. Give people authority to lead. #Unleash
• jasoncurlee: RT @scottfillmer: Pastors need 2 get out of day 2 day operations of areas they don’t need 2 b involved with #unleash

• susannereeder: Churches, We’ve got to get out of the business of competing with one another, and start COMPLETING one another!! #unlelash

• moviepastor: #unleash question 2 are we willing to work? @perrynoble
• vinceparker: If you want change in your church you have to do more than pray about it. @perrynoble #unleash
• jasoncurlee: There is no true formula…Are you willing to do the WORK to bring the CHANGE???? #unleash

• shaunking: Quit asking for permission and start placing yourself in submission to the plans God has already started! #Unleash
• moviepastor: we keep asking for permission instead of placing ourselves in submission @perrynoble #unleash
• susannereeder: God is already doing things that are blowing our mind, focus on him and quit trying to get HIM to go along w/ your agenda! #unleash!
• susannereeder: Are you gonna kill your entire church because you don’t want to hurt two people’s feelings? Jesus hurt feelings (Matt 23)! #unleash
• vinceparker: RT @wjking: “Stop seeking permission and place yourself in submission to the will of God.” Perry Noble #unleash
