After attending the past three Think Orange Tours in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, I was finally able to attend the main Think Orange Conference in Atlanta in April 2017. The conference was fantastic, re-inspired me as a religious educator, and I hope to be a regular attendee.  You’ll be seeing plenty of posts this year that reflect back on the lessons I learned at the conference, but i want to start with inspirational quotes.  Quotes that I’ll come back to, quotes I might even study in a modified lectio divina practice.

Below are twelve of my favorite quotes from the workshops and main sessions I attended around Ministry and Family Ministry.

  • “When the church changes how they see parents it will change how parents see the church.” – Frank Bealer
  • “The noise of the world is loud. Speaking to a family about their felt need is louder.” – Frank Bealer
  • “When families share experiences together, they create history as a family.” – Jenny Zimmer
  • “If we’re there for our neighbors, we never let parents parent alone. Parenting is the loneliest job out there.” – Carlos Whittaker
  • “What if next generation needs to have their voice heard more than they need to hear ours?” – Gerald Fadayomi
  • We have programmed to teach kids what to believe, but not to coach kids in how to love. – Reggie Joiner
  • “Bad preaching can repel, but great preaching is no sure thing to reach young people. You can download good preaching but you can’t download thoughtful mentoring.” – Kara Powell
  • “Everyone rises when we focus on young people. The entire pie grows when we give young people a bigger piece of the pie.” – Kara Powell
  • “You judge us by our services on Sunday. Our neighbors judge us by our service to the community.” – Nina Schmidgall
  • “We cant expect them to come to us if they don’t believe we are for them.” – Jeff Henderson
  • “How are the pictures of your church family different from the pictures of your neighborhood.” – Kara Powell
  • “We want the benefit of diversity without the sacrifice of reconciliation.” – Tasha Morrison
