Humana 2.0 is done … for now. An awesome experience being in a room of transformative leaders, visionaries, mystics, seers, and heroes.

I don’t know if I’ll get around to posting all of my notes, but here are my big impact moments at a glance:

- first off, props to Jettison Never (these guys rocked the house with their sets of original songs, and covers of U2 and Steve Miller Band) and the Urban Poets (this is what dance is all about)
[from Alex McManus]
- have you ever wondered if the characters in Scripture were psychologically balanced (seeing visions, interpreting dreams, hearing voices)?
- people don’t change simultaneously in a synchronized way
- whether or not the Jewish believers liked what Peter did with Cornelius, the story was moving on (without them)
[from Gerardo Marti]
- the bureaucratization of the sacred homogenizes the human experience
- have we packaged things so well that we don’t need spontaneous interpersonal relationships?
- reread Lk 10 … those sent out were dependent on strangers being willing to welcome them into their houses
- how inconvenienced are you willing to be in order to build relationships?
[from David Arcos]
- the first thing God allowed man to do (ie. name the animals) was what he was designed to do … be creative
- art is a matter of life and death to our non-Christian friends
[from Erwin McManus]
- we’ve stopped speaking to humans and trained ourselves to speak only to Christians
- maybe imagination is there for an infinite God to commune with a finite being
- the reason that Jesus had to go off to lonely places was probably not because of the crowds but because of the 12!
- we all need to re-embrace our status as seekers
- how do I position myself so that non-Christians might believe me vs. so that Christians might like me?
- the key measurable at Mosaic … are they serving others with others?
[from the Makers of Fire]
- learn from the lobster … has an exoskeleton, but when it grows large enough, it breaks out of the exoskeleton, consumes it for nutrients, bloats itself with water, grows a new exoskeleton and then shrinks - ready to grow again
- job descriptions not only describe what we do do, but also delimit what we won’t do … we want to create a culture where anyone would do anything
- can we create a culture that values failure because it would be an indicator that we are pursuing risks?

It was awesome to intersect with Sam, Gabe and Vanessa from Jacksonville, Lisa from Titusville, Greg and Jim from New Orleans, and Lorenzo and Daria from Montreal.

Thanks to the IMN for coordinating everything.  It was worth the flights to Orlando.  Looking forward to IMN Montreal!
