{MOMENTUM} – Forward motion fueled by a series of wins.

I’m at Catalyst One Day today, and Andy Stanley just knocked it out of the park with his first session. He talked about momentum. I like momentum. allot.

He had much to say about this topic, but one thing he talked about is how the consumer product companies really have this figured out. Look at the picture above – “new and improved toothpaste” – really? New? Improved? How? How do you “improve” toothpaste? I mean really? (He also showed some toilet paper that was “new and improved” – I mean really….)

The fact is, these companies know that when you give people something that is “new” and “improved” that creates momentum. People REALLY do like “new” things. (Next time you are at the store try to count how many products say “new” or “improved” on the box. Starting to get the picture?)

What is your church doing that is new? How is your ministry creating (and sustaining) momentum? Let’s hear it!
