Big Is The New Small

The Winner of The Catalyst Ticket Is… Watch the video to see!
Keep Following BigIsTheNewSmall.com,  we might be giving away another ticket this week! Thanks to everyone who participated, if we do it again; I might just let you share a compelling reason as to why you should be going to Catalyst.

The Catalyst Conference is the premiere leadership conference for next generation leaders.  Imagine over 12,000 next generation leaders who are passionately pursuing God and have the desire to be that next level leader that can be a part of changing the world.

Catalyst is just over 1 month a way and is set to take Center Stage in the City Of Atlanta October 7-9.  If you still don’t have your ticket you can still get single tickets for $319 and special discounts for groups of 10 or more.  You can also get a special discount rate if you use the promo code “Scott.”

If you would like a chance to win a free ticket to Catalyst ($319 value) you can do so right here at BigIsTheNewSmall.com. It’s quite simple 1.) Subscribe to BigIsTheNewSmall.com  2.) Find my tweet @scottwilliams  offering a chance to “Win A FREE Ticket To Catalyst” and re-tweet it.  3.) Post a comment right here at here stating “I have subscribed, re-tweeted, commented and was referred here by @(fill in the twitter name) or blog address. Now let me win my Catalyst Ticket!”  In your own words of course.  If you don’t have Twitter, you are still eligible to win; simply comment without Twitter info.

Everyone who comments will have a chance to win; however the more your Twitter Name appears in the comment section, the more times you will be entered to win.  Flex your Social Media Muscle for a chance to win; even if you don’t need a ticket or can’t make it to Catalyst; you can always bless someone else!  Comments will be accepted until 11:59p.m. central Saturday Sept. 5th. READY, SET, GO!

    I am turning BigIsTheNewSmall’s Friday into a day to give some things away through the process of a drawing and all you have to do is comment to be entered.  Today we are giving away your choice of books: Either a Signed Copy of my Pastor Craig Groeschel’s new book “it” or a copy of the best selling novel “The Shack.”  It will be shipped right to your door! 

My thought about this Free Stuff Friday is to obviously give away free stuff every Friday; however I would like to get those of your who read this blog involved in the giving.  In other-words one of you will have the opportunity to give something away next Friday, we will accept comments, I will draw a random winner and you will send their item to them, it’s that simple (I might have to get the kids involved in the drawing like my girl Dusty).  Some of you may be bigger givers than others and that is totally fine, we might be giving away things like the following: itunes gift cards, starbucks gift cards, $50 cash, books, music cd’s, restaurant gift cards, sports tickets, free flights, $1,000,000, vacations, Bibles… 

I will not be involved in the handling of the items unless I am giving the item away, like this week.   If you are interested in sponsoring a Friday and giving something away, you can shoot me an e-mail to scott.williams@lifechurch.tv and we will lock in your date.  Your blog will be mentioned in the post (or a blog/business of your choice) and you will also get a 1 week slot in the BigIsTheNewSmall add section.  (BigBlogAndBusinessPimpin)

I want to come up with an official name for this Friday post and would like your help; in order to be entered into this weeks drawing just comment the name that you prefer from this list or a better name you have in mind:

• Free Stuff Friday
• Freebay Friday
• Free Friday
• TGIF- Thank God It’s Free
• Free Freakin’ Friday
• I Love Free Stuff

Go ahead comment away!  You have until 11:59 p.m. Sunday August 3rd. to comment.  Only one entry per person; however you can comment as much as you want.   :-)

Free Drinks:

First of all I want to thank everyone who put in their drink order; unfortunately with 55 comments and a Pastor’s salary, I won’t be able to treat everyone.  I think we might have come up with a new concept for Monday posts; I’ll take your order and then announce/deliver it on Friday.  Maybe we will do something like Panera, Jason’s Deli, Jersey Mikes, Quiznos, Subway… on Monday. I will probably only take care of one or two (unless of course we have sponsors).  BTW- I have had a few people inquire about add space, maybe we will see some of that in the future. 

Drink Order Deliveries: (No Method to The Madness)

1. Cindy Beall- She was the first person to comment and her husband is my boss (enough said!)
2. Anne Jackson- She was the second person to comment and she’s Anne Jackson.
3. Dusty Takle- She was in the top three commenters and she is friends w/ my accountability partner.  Dusty maybe you can join Lance and I; we have Starbucks meeting every other week.
4. Chilly- He’s the man & his gravatar image is a coffee mug! (your gift card will be in the mail)
5. Hope- She’s from Canada, I have never mailed anything to Canada… (first time for everything)

For those of you who live locally, I will treat you to Starbuck’s or Sonic anytime… if you are of the opposite sex we would have to have someone accompany us because it’s one of those “Things You Should Not do!”

Free Thoughts:

Feel free to share anything that you want to; it’s Free Friday and it won’t cost you a penny.  You can write your own post, talk about your kids, share some news, ask some questions, pimp your blog…
