Thought I’d take a moment this morning to share something I’ve been watching lately on TV.

For a full hour of business lessons and leadership insights, check out the CNBC series Titans.

It’s documentary-type biographies of some of the biggest business leaders of the modern era - I especially enjoyed (and learned from) these three:

• Steve Jobs
• Jack Welch
• Ted Turner

It appears that most of them are in re-runs so set your TiVo.  Enjoy!

With the end of summer comes the end of “seminar season” for me and the Church Leader Insights team. It’s been great to get out on the road and meet so many people at our “in-person” events.

Now that we’re off the road, we have a load of display resources that I’m making available at HALF OFF!

Dozens of people picked up resources at these live events, but we shipped what remained back to our office via UPS.

As a result, some of these resources have been opened, are missing the shrink wrap, or even have scratches or dents on the outside. But they’re in 100% perfect condition inside the cases.

When I found out about the damages (cosmetic only), I talked to my team about a special “End of Summer Clearance Sale.”

So we’re clearing out these CD resources (and a few others that are overstocked). They’re not doing any good for the Kingdom sitting on a shelf somewhere – I’d much rather get them in your hands so that you can make a greater impact

You’ll find Over 60 different CD Sets available for HALF OFF in the Summer Clearance Sale!

You can pick them up for the next week OR until we run out of CD’s!

Here’s the link:

NOTE: Each CD set is in perfect condition inside, but the packaging may be scratched or missing the shrink wrap.

You’ll find dozens of Sermon Series, plus Systems Seminars, Single CD Resources, even longer workshops – all on CD and all at unprecedented savings!

DON’T FORGET THE 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

No matter what the packaging may look like on the outside, each of these resources come standard with our 100%, 365 Day, No-Hassle Guarantee!

If you have any problems or if these resources aren’t the right fit for your church, you can return them at any point within the next year for a complete, 100% refund – NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

So, what are you waiting on? Here’s your link one more time:

https://nelsonsearcy.infusionsoft.com/cart/store.jsp?view=1&i=82

* Hurry – Unlike our Downloadable Resources, when these CD Sets are gone… They’re gone!

BTW – If you’re ordering more than 2-3 of these resources, feel free to call the office at 1-800-264-5129, ext. 1. My team will put together an even greater discount for you.

If you get a chance while its still in theaters, check out the new movie “Sarah’s Key” (or put it in  your Netflix queue for when it comes out on DVD).  It’s one of the best, most powerful movies I’ve seen in a while.

It’s not a Christian movie per se so there’s some minor language issues but the story is a powerful one of redemption, relationships and struggle, all set around the historical and notorious Vel’ d’Hiv Roundup in 1942 (the little known – and perhaps in the U.S., unknown – French round-up of the Jews during WWII).

A mentor of mine said you should only see movies that ‘make you laugh, make you cry, take you high and take you low.’  This one does it!  It reminds you of how low humanity can go while simultaneously reminding you of high we can fly.

Nelson

P.S. The only thing better than the movie is the book on which its based (same title by  Tatiana de Rosnay) – but the movie does justice to the book so don’t feel guilty if you choose to ‘watch’ and not ‘read.’.

Tomorrow I’m teaching on the story of Samson and “How to Live Every Day as if its My Last.”

As part of the introduction I’m taking about the strange things that people have on their bucket list.

My team came up with one for my list…

Happy Saturday!

P.S. Yes, that’s Pastor Jason and Pastor Tommy with me!

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Happy 4th of July!

I’m speaking at an event in London (jolly old England) today and I can’t seem to find a July 4 fireworks show anywhere (ha!).

I am truly grateful to be a small part of your ministry and look forward to serving you for many years in the future.

Hope you enjoy this day celebrating our nation’s independence with those close to you (and a BBQ grill)!

Your partner in ministry,

Nelson

It’s hard to believe, but Church Leader Insights is Seven Years Old this week!

When I stayed up all night burning 4 CD’s to distribute to the attendees of my church planting session at Rick Warren’s May conference back in 2004, I could have never imagined that today we would be impacting over 50,000+ pastors each month through the ministry of CLI.

With that in mind, I have two reasons for today’s post…

#1 – To say THANK YOU for being a part of the Church Leader Insights family!

It’s humbling and exciting to see what God continues to do through this ministry – and I’m pumped about what He has in store for the future.

#2 – To let you know that you can Save 50% on some of our Most Powerful Resources (some that have never been discounted before!) between now and Friday in the  Church Leader Insights 7th Anniversary Sale.

CLI 7th Anniversary Sale – Save Up To 50%!

Hurry, Ends Friday, May 20 at 11:59pm Eastern

Just a quick Saturday post to wish you and your family a BIG Happy Easter!

I truly believe this could be the best Easter ever – and I wish God’s best for you and your church tomorrow!

If you have a moment – please say a prayer for me and all of our services here at The Journey (in NYC, San Francisco and South Florida).

We’re trying something brand new tomorrow at our South Florida campus – we have hired a professional “sign spinner” to stand at the busy intersection near our meeting location with this sign (in the pic to the right) and point people down the road to our Easter service.

I’ll try to remember to let you know if it works out well…

Thank you for keeping up on the blog and for being a part of the Church Leader Insights family!

Your friend,

Nelson and the CLI Team (Scott, Cristina, Tommy, Brendan, Jimmy and Vinny)
