One of my favorite videos from #thenines ::
Skye Jethani asks, “Where does our legitimacy (in ministry and leadership) come from?”

Tomorrow I’ll be sharing another video from #thenines — from author Sky Jethani.
Pure greatness! Be sure and look for it and watch it. It’s worth all nine minutes.
But in the meantime, I thought I’d share my notes from the event — in their raw form.
I thought about cleaning them up some but instead, I just made a quick PDF and decided to share them as-is, with no warranties or guarantees implied.
