"He is way better at leading church than we are. So, we only have one thing do so – listen to Him and do what He says. It doesn’t get any simpler than that! "

Debunking the Clergification Myth
The economy's toll actually may liberate church leaders—and members.
I use "clergification" to describe the tendency for people to believe that if they need help with spiritual matters, they must seek a professional clergy member. Or if they want ministry to be done, they must look to the paid church staff member to accomplish it.
Video: God's Plan Includes Children
“God is shaping children and shaping the world through them.”
“Children have always been a part of God’s plan…but they haven’t always been a big part of ours.”
This 4 minute video is a tool to inspire leaders, churches and ministries with the story of what God is doing across the world. Use it as part of a training presentation, in your church or at a missions conference. It is designed to think about the big picture of children in the Bible and across the world, without shying away from the challenges that our children are facing.
Missional through "listening prayer"
http://www.loganleadership.com/2010/11/the-starfish-group.html
One woman in my church plant has started a new group. One of the members, new to both the group and the church, wanted to call the group “the starfish group,” after the book The Starfish and the Spider—with the idea being that the group is set up to multiply right from the beginning.
Right now the group is gathering primarily to pray and ask God what he wants them to do. The home where they meet is directly across the street from a community college. As they pray, they see students from all kinds of international backgrounds walking to and from classes. The members are committing to be engaged at the school and to serving in a transition center one night a week.
10 Mega-shifts in Making Disciples
Here what Molong sees as the 10 mega-shifts in discipleship.
- From Traditional Discipleship to Intentional-Relational Discipleship
- From One-man Discipling Everybody to One-another Making Disciples to Everybody.
- From Discipling the Believer Already to Making Disciples to Non-Believing.
- From Discipling to Make Disciples
- From Pastor-led to Spirit-led
- From Pastoring to Parenting
- From Classroom Teaching to Relational Teaching
- From Church-goer Christian to Church-going Community of Families
- From Visitation to Habitation
- From Many Branches of Christianity to Unity in One Body
- Bill Bright said that 97% of Christians have not been disciple or know how to make disciples. Are you part of the 3% or part of the 97%?
- Are you being discipled? Are you making disciples?
- Have you experienced any of these shifts in discipleship? Would you want to?
- Of the ten shifts in discipleship that Molong has noted, which do you think are the three most significant?
