Man, what a wakeup call this weekend. CPD this weekend was centered around building a team, and how everyone needs to feel that they are a valued co-owner to this dream and vision. It was like a baseball bat to the face. Essentially my "team building" was "go meet people". What can I say, I like things simple.
There's a big difference between having a heart for something and making it happen. Team is just what I want. I want everyone to feel like their soaring on the wind when they are connected with us. But I've tethered everyone to a very specific need (connecting) while ignoring all of the other talent that we have on our team. What's crazy, is that by tapping into this potential, we'll probably connect with more than doing it my way.
So, I've made some changes. This is my mea culpa. It seems like there are a million things to consider when planting, and everyone of them are important. Thankfully I'm surrounded by graceful people who are patient with me.
Anyone who said that church planters just take the easy way out have never tried it. But there's no other place I'd rather be.
Onward.
