Not Your Normal Conference

Yesterday I was given the privilege to serve at  "LIT"  Leaders in Training Conference in Nashville.  My job was minimal in that I was just a Greeter and Parking attendant but once completed I was afforded the opportunity to sit in on sessions.

I know the intent was targeted at stressed, frustrated, and new pastors but something hit me as I listened to the teaching and the theme of the day.  As a entrepreneur and small businessman every word applied to ME.  Mentally, when the word "Pastor" was mentioned, I felt like the speakers were saying "Businessman, Entrepreneur, or Adventurer" and it resonated strongly to what I am going through.

Like many pastors, we put in 50-60 hour weeks, deal with stressful situations,  worry about budgets and income and increasing our attendance (sales).  With each speaker, I thought, "This would be a great seminar for any small business owner but necessary for any Christ Following business owners or someone thinking about starting a business.

So here's the deal, go the www.litconferences.com and click on the Knoxville tab for the May 12th Conference.  I know of conferences where you pay over $1,200 plus travel and do not get as much value as you will for this $49.00 conference.  The sessions will give you insight, excitement, strength, and a new passion to continue the venture even where the economy, family issues, money, and stress have  impacted your original thought.

As a Christ Follower and businessman, I am once again excited with the passion I had pursued and it was all due to this one day conference.  I encourage you to sign up now for LIT2011.

It will be the BEST money spent in 2011.
