My friend Cody Pope recently wrote some blog posts sharing the wisdom of my former youth pastor, Bobby Pruitt. Good stuff...

Bobbyisms or Boberbs

1) What we celebrate, we invite

2) What leaders do in moderation, followers do in excess

3) It’s always easier to make a rule than to have a conversation…don’t do this

4) Submission is not submission until there’s a disagreement

5) What you win people with is what you win them to

6) What you allow you invite

7) The easy way always gets harder and the hard way gets easier

    "What you win people with is what you win them to"

    This may be an important maxim for planning outreach events.

    That very point is causing a lot of us to completely re-think outreach. I can provide all kinds of entertaining environments, but then all I will get are a bunch of consumers.

    I wrote several blogs on how to throw a massive outreach event. I didn't do it because I'm convinced that's the right way to go with outreach. I did it to help people throw the best big events possible.

    But all the people who influence me are moving away from entertainment based evangelism or at least re-thinking how it should be used.
