The big buzz in the church world today is going to be the Nines. It’s a free, online conference that’s going to consist of some 75 speakers sharing nine minute video leadership lessons. That’s right, you can sit down in front of your computer for a bite-size portion from a firehouse of church leadership content.
Here are the details:
Leadership Network asked some of the church’s greatest communicators: “If you had nine minutes to talk one-on-one with thousands of church leaders, what is the one thing that you would tell them?
The format is simple: Nine minute video leadership lessons that can help multiply your church’s impact. You will be stretched as a leader, and motivated as a church.
We’ll ignore the fact that one person talking to thousands of others doesn’t qualify as one-on-one communication, but there are tons of big names involved: Rick Warren, Mark Batterson, Dino Rizzo, Ed Stetzer, Perry Noble, Margaret Feinberg, Brian McLaren, Mark Driscoll, Greg Surratt, Anne Jackson and the list goes on. There are also loads of less familiar names that will likely have good stuff to share as well. (A schedule seems hard to come by, but here’s a vague run down .) You could also wait until the event is over and catch the videos you want when they’re posted online.
It all starts today, Sept. 9, 2009 at 9:09 CT (notice a trend?). You can follow along at the Nines or one of the many sites hosting it. You can read more about the event from The Christian Post.
