We aren’t in charge of the mission
- That is the burden of leadership. That is directed by scripture.
- If you can’t accept that, you either need to do the work to be in leadership, or move on to a place where you are on board with the mission.
You are stalling the mission if you are:
- Spending your time defending your trade over the mission
- Verbalizing disagreement with the mission
- Arguing against on mission decisions that require more work or aren’t exciting
You are supporting the mission if you are:
- Spending your time figuring out how your trade can support the mission
- Asking questions about clarifying the mission
- Defending the mission even when it means more work for you or unexciting projects
You can the power to spread the mission by:
- Helping others make these pivots
Bottom line:
Each of us has been hired to move the mission of the church forward, not turn the church into a playground for our industries.
