Strategy
Change has a tendency to sneak up on you even when you’re expecting it. We can plan and plan and plan but ultimately all we can do many times is roll with the punches. Lately I’ve been focusing a lot on how I can help people move from where they are (spiritually) to where they want to be (spiritually). I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about and creating systems. Systems are good things, they are helpful - after all if you fail to plan, you plan to fail, right?
But what happens when people don’t fit into your systems? Can you adjust? Can you adapt? Or are you rigid, immoveable? Systematic spiritual growth must have a plan but that plan must be fluid. I definitely don’t have all the answers on how to make that happen. I’m moving toward this HUGE idea of helping others connect to God and move from where they are to where they want to be…
Church leaders… are you having success in this area? Is your system working?? Love to hear your thoughts :)
