Speaker 3: Jud Wilhite

I had heard of Jud Wilhite only briefly and in passing so I was interested and curious to hear him speak. He is the Senior Pastor of Central Christian Church in the Las Vegas area which is definitely an interesting place to be! Jud encounters extremely broken and desperate people everyday and to hear him talk about them and about his passion for them was fascinating.

HIGHLIGHTS:

“Put your hand to the plough and don’t look back.”

“Reach out to the broken and you will always have an audience.”

“Two questions: Who’s hurting that we can help? Who needs to be reached but isn’t?”

“The ‘up and in’ are just as broken as the ‘down and out’.”

On issues that come up: “Major on the majors and minor on the minors.”

“See restrictions as an opportunity – fight the martyr mentality. Stop focussing on what you don’t have and focus on what you do have (the gospel).”

Acts 3v6: But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!”
