Kent Shaffer – Founder I live in an RV with my wife and 2 kids. It’s part of my work with Open Church – an initiative to help disciples of Jesus collaborate, learn from each other, and share resources. I also co-founded a design and marketing firm, launched and sold a few tech startups, and gave strategic counsel to groups such as LifeChurch.tv, Saddleback Church, charity: water, Leadership Network, and OneHope. My ministry roots began as a missionary’s kid in Peru and evolved into 10+ years of youth and children’s ministry at Church on the Move, LifeChurch.tv, and Frontline Church.

Ed Young Jr. on 11 Statements for Creative Change by Kent Shaffer At Seeds Conference, Ed Young Jr. of Fellowship Church (Grapevine, TX) discussed 11 statements for creative change.

Here are some creative statements that God has brought forward in Ed Young Jr’s life and in the leadership culture at Fellowship Church. #1 - You be you. In every area, be yourself. #2 - Work for the weekend. The weekend is the most important thing we do in the church. #3 - Have a seat at the table. At the head of the table is the pastor with the food. #4 - Sign up for group therapy. Creativity is best done in a group. #5 - Get your “ask” in gear. Always seek knowledge. #6 - Hire “yes” men and “yes” women. “Y” stands for yielded to God. #7 - Get on the stairmaster. #8 - Become a creative criminal. Steal ideas unashamedly. #9 - Surf the wave. You’ve got creativity.
