What is it?

In his book, “How Churches and Leaders Can Get IT and Keep IT” Craig Groeschel explains that ‘IT’ is that unexplainable ‘something’ that creates health, life and growth.

It is what God does through a rare combination of these qualities found in his people:
- Passion for his presence
- A deep craving to reach the lost
- Sincere integrity
- Spirit-filled faith
- Down-to-earth humility
- Brokenness

How Churches and Leaders Can Get IT and Keep IT

I have just finished reading “How Churches and Leaders Can Get IT and Keep IT” by Craig Groeschel. It is a brilliant practical book on church leadership that I highly recommend. Craig is the founding and Senior Pastor of LifeChurch.tv which is a highly innovative church with dozens of weekly worship experiences in thirteen locations, including an internet campus!

Craig has a blog which is really thought provoking for those in ministry www.swerve.lifechurch.tv

I see Craig is speaking at Hillsong Conference this year so I am a bit disappointed I won’t be there. I would have loved to have heard him.

I will blog a few notes from my reading of his book over the next few days.
