Have you ever played the game “one of these things is not like the others”. While I’m so honored to be speaking at LIT later this Spring I clearly feel way out of my league. However, despite me speaking there, you’ve got to come check out this new conference. I mean just look at these speakers.
Chris Stephens- Senior Pastor of Faith Promise Church in Knoxville, TN and founder of Kaleo Ministries. Chris is a pastor’s pastor and has a heart for encouraging, equipping, and raising up other leaders to achieve their full potential. Chris is also the author of The Climb of Your Life. This guy is the real deal. You’re going to love him.
Pat Summitt - head coach of the Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team. She is the all-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history, men or women in any division, and one of only three collegiate coaches with 1000 victories. She has written two books, Reach for the Summitt and Raise the Roof. Honestly, I’m scared to death of this lady. She intimidates the heck out of me.
Johnny Hunt - senior pastor of First Baptist Church Woodstock in Georgia and the president of the Southern Baptist Convention. As one of the most dynamic preachers in the country, Dr. Hunt combines an unrelenting love for Jesus with a powerful conviction for biblical truth. He’s been a hero of mine for years!
This is going to be an incredible day where I have no doubt you will have the opportunity to refresh, refine, and recalibrate your leadership and pastoral skills .
And here’s the best news yet. I’M GOING TO GIVE AWAY 3 PAIRS OF TICKETS TO LIT! Just leave me a quick comment and your qualified for the random drawing.
If you don’t win, no worries. You can register HERE for just $89 for Church Leaders and $49 for Pastors’ Wives. Come join us in the beautiful setting of the Smoky Mountains. One of my favorite places on earth!
Here’s a quick video of Chris explaining a little more about the conference. Hope to see you there!

Edgy title…
Conference sounds amazing. Not a church leader but I sure like hanging out with and learning from them.
.-= Lindsey Nobles´s last blog ..A Laundry List of Requests =-.
I’ve got a feeling there will be some good stuff for anyone whose interested in leadership.
Sure hope I win, I love to hear you speak every Sunday at CrossPoint. You are a true leader and inspire us all.
Sounds like a great conference. I’ll have to check it out. Praying for your journey to go well and for you to see God’s hand.
.-= Randy Kinnick´s last blog ..Imitation is the Sincerest Form… =-.
It looks like you are in great company!
.-= Becky´s last blog ..If I didn’t laugh I would be crying… =-.
There are 4, count them, 4 great leaders set for that conference. Not a lot of ego in any of you. Don’t sell what Jesus is doing through you short Pete. But, yeah, I’m pretty sure Pat Summitt could make all of us cry like the girls do in her locker room when she coaches them up.
Sounds like an action packed day! Thanks!
.-= Megan´s last blog ..Chasing Daylight Chapter 1 =-.
I would tremble in fear at the sight of Pat Summitt. I’m not ashamed to say it either. Great coach, but I’m fairly certain she could (and would) rip me to shreds.
Sounds fun. I’m gonna check this out.
Sounds great! And yes, Pat Summitt is scary.
I would say because I would take good notes…but I am gonna be out of town any way that week…
.-= Michael´s last blog ..Why I am in the Ministry =-.
Dang Michael. We’ll find something else to meet up at soon.
Sounds good…:)
.-= Michael´s last blog ..Why I am in the Ministry =-.
I’d love to meet a woman that you would be scared of.
HEY HEY! Future church leader, here
Wow… Pete… great lineup. This would be awesome to be at! I hope I win!!
Comment: I would get to see my daughter who lives in Kville and would get to meet you. is that bribery enough?
.-= Bill (cycleguy)´s last blog ..A Little Bit of Love =-.
Sounds good to me
Sounds like a great event! Count me in for the drawing. Thanks.
I would rather have the chance to win a Pete Wilson autographed basketball.
.-= Harold´s last blog ..Incredible! =-.
Sounds like a neat conference to refresh a community group leader.
.-= Lisa´s last blog ..Snow! Snow! More Snow!/Vacationing in Williamsburg! =-.
Here is a quick comment… TUNA FISH.. Now to the real one. Praying for you in India and for your family while you are away.
Pete,
I had no idea who you were before today, but as a Pastor living PLAN B, I’ve already been blessed by your ministry. I will say you made a mistake though, the day you hired Bergstrom!!!
thanka for the opportunity
We visited Faith Promise several times before starting our Church Crossroads. I don’t want to miss this and I am only about an hour away!
It’s such a great church Rick. God’s using them in some powerful ways.
Well the only one Ive ever heard of is Pete Wilson.
