Lessons from Thrive Conference

Thrive is a free online conference featuring some of the most prominent God-serving leaders. Here's my notes:

Dr. Raleigh Washington "Get better, not bitter."

Don't follow elephants or donkeys, follow the Lamb - Ricky Jenkins and Albert Tate

LaTasha Morrison "Be cued by the word of God."

In behaving with groups: Behave the way you would at a funeral - with compassion, not statistics.

Albert Tate: Bring down the monster of evil. Listen, learn, lead!

What is the opposite of a thief? Generosity!
The goal of racism is not saying you're not racist; it is being an anti-racist.

Racism is in opposition to the Gospel.

From Pastor Ricky Jenkins's breakout session:
-Galatians 2:14: Paul sees the racism and calls it out.
-Revelations 7:9-10- John has a vision of Heaven and saw God preparing a place of diversity. There won't be sections.
-Deep reconciliation is needed.
-Racism is old because it is sin.
-Racism, a disposition of superiority tied to ethnicity or culture, is learned.
-Who we hang with is who we can be influenced by.
-Racism must be called out.
-Get the feelings, get the facts, and get the friends!
