Lunch With Brad Lomenick From Catalyst
Another reason I love to blog.
Brad was reading my blog and saw a post I made on my impressions of the Catalyst Conference.
We had a great email exchange and it ended with lunch plans.
Those plans turned into a weight gaining hour and a half of great conversation and Maggiano’s spaghetti and sausage.
It is not everyday you get to sit with a visionary like Brad. Here were a few of the gems I took from the conversation.
- We need to be looking outside the church walls for development of church culture and leadership
- Many people focusing on a single task can shift culture in seconds
- Very soon there will be nothing a person can buy that they can’t get for free on the web.
- The look and feel of large events will radically change in the next 5 years as web 2.0 shifts to web 3.0
- Catalyst is constantly looking for ways to improve and innovate on a DAILY basis.
- Brad has a team of 5 people running that gig. FIVE.
- Including people WAY outside your circle of influence keeps things moving in the right direction.
So thanks Brad for your hour and a half yesterday.

Thanks for this. Now I feel like I too had lunch with Brad Lomenick (except without the calories). I’m learning a lot from Dan Kimball and a few old-school southern baptists. Their passion for saving souls is quite contagious.
