What are things churches should ignore from the book? What can you do this week in light of the book? BEST QUOTES “Research has found that in recalling experiences we ignore most of what happened and focus instead on a few particular moments.” “There are a lot of powerful moments that happen in a person’s life that often are a turning point for them to come to know the Lord.” “Defining moments shape our lives, but we don’t have to wait for them to happen, we can be the author’s of them.” “A defining moment is a short experience that is both memorable and meaningful.” “How do you build peaks in your ministry appeal?” “What’s that transformational sweet spot for us? Knowledge, experience, and coaching.” “Pride is about capturing that defining moment when someone achieves something impressive.” “I don’t think we encourage often enough in our churches.” “Baptism is a pivotal, powerful moment in the life of that person and that family.” “Transitions are natural, defining moments we will remember. How can you elevate them?” RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Lifeway Leadership Podcast Network The Power of Moments by Chip Heath and Dan Heath Switch by Chip Heath and Dan Heath Made to Stick by Chip Heath and Dan Heath Leading Small Groups by Chris Surratt Ministry Grid The Experience Economy by James Gilmore and Joseph Pine New Churches Q&A Podcast This Episode’s Sponsor: One of the greatest predictors of a disciple’s spiritual growth is regular Bible reading.
