Today, we had some good discussion and thoughts as we closed out the book "7 Practices of Effective Ministry" by Andy Stanley. We covered the last 2 chapters of REPLACE YOURSELF & WORK ON IT. Here are a couple of the key points:
REPLACE YOURSELF -
- Everyone of us at some point will be replaced, we can fight it, or help raise up others and have a say in it.
- In order to move forward as organizations/ministries, we must raise up other leaders to do what we do.
- We do this by "breaking it down, handing it off, and letting it go.
- What are you currently doing now, that you can give away?
- What hinders you from replacing yourself?
WORK ON IT -
- We spend too much time working "in it" and not "on it"
- How much time do you spend to think and pray for the future?
- Create some margin in your life to "step back" and look ahead.
