It's been a while since I've posted. I'm on the road for most of this month so I won't be posting much. So here's the plan for the coming months. I've been talking about the need for hanging out with folks. No matter how young a person is in Christ, they have something to offer as long as they continue to grow in their relationship with Jesus. For the next several posts, I'll be covering some of the basic areas of growth in a disciple's life. Below is a list of the particular areas. My hope is to use this process to get some writing done and then put the results in a book that will be used with our leaders. I'm hoping to hear some feedback as to what would be most helpful in the different areas mentioned or if there are areas that are missing.
1. The Gospel (How every topic on this page and more all stem from the gospel - the gift of grace given to us in the Christ event)
2. The Five Devotions, (Five domains of the Christian life: Worship, Prayer, The Word, The Church, The World )
3. Time Management (the grid: roles, goals, time sheet, evaluation and tweaking)
4. Fishing For Humans (taking initiative in the lives of others in your life or in a fishing pool event)
5. The Small Group Experience: Hospitality; Community Building; Corporate Worship; Bible Study Discussion; Prayer
6. Fishing For Humans (taking initiative in the lives of your small group members)
7. Shepherding: Listening and Questions (the art of conversation)
8. Shepherding: Biblical Guidance (common issues in the lives of disciples)
9. Mobilization: Spiritual Gifts (Romans 12, Ephesians 4, 1 Corinthians 12)
10. Multiplication: 3 stages of raising leaders (Jesus did it / they watched; they did it Jesus watched; they did it)
