In this episode, I want to talk about the dissonance that happens between what we ask our people to do, and what we do our selves.

Topics:

• We tell people they need to get out of debt while we encumber debt
• We encourage families to budget strategically while we spend flippantly
• We tell parents we want to partner with them while communicating with their kids using social media services their parent's don't support
• We say “God will provide” while we panic because we don’t have enough volunteers
• We tell our people to be available for the people in their life while we are unavailable because of busy schedules
• We tell people to be willing to do anything to spread the gospel while we aren’t willing to entertain any new ideas

Bottom line:Every decision we make in these situations affirms or denies your church’s mission. Before you make a decision, ask yourself what it does to your organization’s mission.
