I really enjoyed this guy and the passion with which he follows Christ. Here are some takeaways:
Vince Antonucci - An Idiots Guide To Idiotic Church Planting
Get out of the box
Be uncivilized
Do something idiotic
Learning from others is cool, but be yourself first and find out what God wants for your community.
Three Possible Paths
1. Ancient Path
Go back to the early church and see what worked
Apply it to your situation rather than looking at current trends in other churches.
2. Mystic’s Path
Don’t look at anything current
Ask God to show you the vision for where you should go and how to do it
Everyone should take this path at some point.
3. Entrepreneur’s Path - (”Blue Ocean Strategy” - W. Chan Kim & Renee Mauborn)
Rather than competing for ideas, break away from the competition and do something no one else is doing.
How to get there:
1. Which factors that are taken for granted should be eliminated?
2. Which factors should be reduced?
3. Which factors should be raised?
4. Which factors should be created?
Compare with alternative industries - Don’t compare with other churches.
Reach beyond existing demands.
Summary: To reach people who aren’t being reached you have to do something that hasn’t been done.
