Catalyst Dallas Brings a Breath of Fresh Air

The past three days, I have been encouraged, been convicted, and have grown as a young Christian leader at the Catalyst Dallas conference.  

What is Catalyst Dallas? “Catalyst Dallas is a gathering of young influencers who see things differently and feel a burden for our generation. We seek to learn, worship, and create together with momentous energy while passionately pursuing God. We are Catalyst- the kingdom ambassadors, change agents, and cultural architects who have the influence to change our churches, communities, and cultures for good. ”

What is the focus of a Catalyst Conference?  “Leadership has been the topic of focus for the Catalyst brand since inception and will continue to be so. Catalyst and the annual Conferences provide a wide cover for addressing a variety of topics specific to Next Generation Leaders, including organizational leadership, personal leadership, integrity, character, relationships, and teamwork, among others.”

Catalyst has been a great source of encouragement to me, and it has refreshed me.

Catalyst was a breath of fresh air in the midst of a struggle to find my place. Am I a young influencer? What’s my next step?  Am I to stay or go?  These were some of the questions I pondered at the conference.

Catalyst provided the space for me to hear, to see, to learn, to apply, to pray, to worship, to think, and to dream.

Catalyst reminded me of how great and how good God is.  We worshiped; we sang; we laughed; we played.  We listened; we learned; we prayed; we saw; we believed.

I want to share some of what I learned and some of my notes and reflections with you over the next several posts.  Feel free to skim them or look for a topic you’re interested in.
