Many of us know Chris Brogan and his accomplishments as well as the authority that he brings to the social media landscape. His new book Trust Agents (affiliate link) is acclaimed already being named a Top 10 from Amazon.
What’s fascinating is that he could probably build a “church” better than most of us. If we we’re to take out the spiritual-side of things, Chris has got it in the bag. And to a certain degree, he’s even said it himself.
It’s because Chris has managed to discover what his true gifts are and then has also managed to use them effectively to move people strategically. He understand how an effective platform can be wisely executed and how to manage and leverage people’s passions. He’s a genius at rallying people together physically (just Google “Podcamp” to learn more) and making the gathering’s not about him but them.
I’ve never started a church and God knows that I’d be terrible at it. But, if I were to start one, if I felt lead and called to do that, I’d probably borrow just as much (and perhaps a bit more in some areas) from Chris than from a lot of spiritual leaders today.
Just being honest.
