Perry Noble opened up the Friday morning session at Catalyst. Here are some highlights from his talk:
- “Have you ever had an ‘Oh Crap’ moment. This is mine.”
- “Every time I hear Francis [Chan], I’m not sure if I love Jesus anymore.”
- “It’s about time for a dumb redneck to get up and tell people about Jesus.”
- “If you’ve been around long enough, you’ve had this thought: Should I be following you?”
- “Do what God told you.”
- “If you can explain what God is doing in your church, then God didn’t do it.”
- “Have you ever been at a place where the brook is dry?”
- “God is not punishing you — he’s preparing you. Don’t give up when you’re by the brook.”
- “God blew the freakin’ doors off the tomb, and God is alive.”
- “I’m from Anderson [SC] and there’s a pond where ducks hang out, so we call it the Duck Pond.”
- Talking about punting ducks… “Some of you animal lovers don’t like that. I’ll punt you too.”
- “You’re going to run from a situation that God reigns over.”
- “Don’t give up.”
