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.
