Um where do you want me to start? Few hours of sleep + hearing incrediable messages + catching up with old friends = C3 experience.

Here are some "gems of the day":

"Pit happens." You get betrayed. You get pushed into the pit.
"Betrayal is fueled by envy and jealousy."
"Envy engineers and engages betrayal."
"When you're betrayed, ask God: 'Why me?' but move quickly to 'What now?'"
True success is living in the will of God.

Every leader has to embrace the tension between community and responsibility.
"You're only as accountable as you want to be."
