Thousands Take Courage to be Catalysts for Christ


"Take Courage" is the theme of this year's Catalyst West conference, an annual event that draws thousands of young and passionate Christian leaders eager to pick up the latest ideas and inspiration.

The three-day conference kicked off in Southern California on Wednesday with some of the most influential leaders in both the church and secular worlds challenging attendees to be courageous – even if the act might not be as dramatic as building an ark.

"We feel like that leaders if they're not courageous, if they're not willing to take risks and step out into the unknown, then they're probably not going to step into what God has called them to," said Brad Lomenick, executive director of Catalyst.

"We think courage is really important," he stressed, noting that courage is one of the six elements to being a catalyst leader. "When you become a catalyst, you have to be willing to risk."

Catalyst is famous for not only featuring renowned leaders and presenting cutting-edge material, but also for its unique take on running a conference.
