EPISODE #70 - Preach the Word

00:00 / 26:07

In this episode Bob details his Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich experience and Jimbo and his kids went to Wendy’s to throw down on their claim that they’ve ended the Chicken Sandwich wars. Then the boys get around to addressing the six irreducible minimums once again, this time they discuss what it means to Preach the Word by examining it through the lens of PITO.

Personal – Preach the Word to yourself: as in Observation – Interpretation – Application.
Interpersonally – Preach the Word to your spouse, children with gentleness.
Team – Don’t use the Bible as a weapon to harm your team – but to edify your team.
Organizationally – Lead your church to be centered on God’s Word. Maybe sermon-based small groups. Teach your church HOW to study God’s Word.

Also, preach through books of the Bible. There are a lot of benefits to preaching expository sermons through a book of the Bible.

EPISODE #69 - Leading Self, Others and Team in Pursuing The Kingdom of God

00:00 / 21:35

Bob and Jimbo spend time breaking down one of the 6 Irreducible minimums, Pursuing the Kingdom of God via the PITO Leadership model from the Officer Development School of the US Air Force. Yeah, we know it sounds kinda well…..just give it a listen, we promise you’ll laugh and be informed.

Personally: spiritual practices that bring about the rule and reign of God in your life.

Interpersonally: making disciples in the context of relationships in everyday life.

Team: consider those with whom you led ministry, are they growing spiritually and are we functioning as the body of Christ? Are we surrendering our agenda to the Lord’s agenda?

Organizationally: are we as a church pursuing Kingdom principles and priorities rather than simply just doing the same old same.

You can’t rely on one platform (email, text, facebook, webpage)
Your webpage has to updated every week-you can’t replace with social media
Interaction is key-you must have a response form or direct your audience

What are the current website trends?

A shift to function over form-finding info, navigation has to be EASY.
Embedding your livestream b/c many people don’t have social media.
Online Giving, Contact forms and calls to action

With everyone online a lot of people are struggling with screen fatigue, how can we address that?

Extend the time of interaction before and after your livestream
Offer ways to interact personally (analog via calls, texts etc)
Provide questions, downloadable resources for your audience.

EPISODE #64 – COVID CHRISTMAS OUTREACH

Written on December 9, 2020.

EPISODE #64 - COVID CHRISTMAS OUTREACH

00:00 / 26:32

Don’t let COVID crash your Christmas plans! Today the guys break down some ways they are considering busting through the COVID19 Blues and making the best of what can be done for outreach at Christmas time. Check this one out for some hope, help and encouragement and of course a few laughs!

How can you make the best of the Covid regulations?

Take your context into account-do what you can do, don’t get depressed by what others can do
Get creative – but know your limitations
Do something rather than doing nothing
Consider singing/caroling for those who are homebound
You might try a Christmas “Adam” service (the day before Christmas Eve)

But what if you can’t do anything at all? Like no public gathering, no public events etc.

Make phone calls to people who are part of your church family
Write notes-hand written cards mean a lot. Check out the felt app
Consider helping or serving at shelters

You might just have to dust off something that seems like it won’t work, something from the past. We encourage you to try something. Take your five loaves and two fish and give it to God and see what he will make of it.

EPISODE #61 - PLANNING DURING A PANDEMIC

00:00 / 27:33

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and the guys talk about their favorite “dish” but then get down to business and talk about how to plan during a pandemic. Check it out and, don’t forget to enter the Replant Bootcamp Ball Cap giveaway.

Some things to consider as you think about planning:

What type of planner are you?
You can overplan and also underplan-try to find that flexible middle
COVID19 has pretty much wiped out our long range plans
Don’t be defeated by all the restrictions-get creative and think outside of the box in terms of planning
Consider short cycle planning: 3-6-9 months at a time
The goal is not to get back to normal-start over and ask; “What is the best possible way for us to make disciples who make disciples who impact our community for the Gospel?”
Adjust to the moment and the culture you find yourself in right now
Do what you can do regardless of size, keep it simple
