  1. Success or Significance By Joel Gorveatte

  2. The Cultural Definition of Success • Own really nice stuff • Move up the ladder • Freedom from constraints

  3. Ecclesiastes 2:4-9

  4. "I was always finding out that, beyond the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, there's a sort of emptiness." (Bob Buford)

  5. "I see clearly that I have achieved practically nothing. The world today and the history of the human anthill during the past five to seven years would be exactly the same if I had played Ping-Pong instead of sitting on committees and writing books and memoranda…

  6. I have, therefore, to make a rather ignominious confession that I have, in a long life, ground through between 150,000 and 200,000 hours of perfectly useless work." (Leonard Woolf)

  7. "While medicine is becoming capable of doing more and more for patients, health-care professionals are becoming less and less satisfied with their work…

  8. People burn out NOT from doing hard work, but from doing work that is without meaning." (Joseph O’Donnell)

  9. Our leadership in the Church is NOT about success, it is about significance.

  10. In considering this project for my church • What are the benefits toward advancing the Kingdom (God’s, not mine)? • What are the dangers of losing focus on our God-given agenda? • Do the benefits outweigh the dangers?

  11. Why partner with The McKnight Group? They understand that your project is not for the sake of success, it is for the sake of expanding your church’s missional impact.
