EP 211 – YEAR THREE-STAYING THE COURSE
Greetings Bootcampers! Bob has settled the annual bet, donning the LSU pajama top once again as his Hogs lost to Jimbo’s Tigers. After the football banter the boys get down to discussing the reality that year three in a church renewal can be challenging and difficult making you want to leave. We break down some ways to look at the challenges and the years and we encourage you to preach, pray, love and stay.
Here are the highlights:
Yr 1 – Who are they, and who am I?
- Pastoral visits
- Self-Awareness and Growth
Yr 2 – I think this is going to be hard
- Conflict-this isn’t what we want it to be
- Stop changing everything
Yr 3 – I think I made a big mistake?
- the dip and double dip (attendance and finances)
- self doubt and spiritual warfare
Yr 4 – Okay let’s make this work……and get to work
- Develop a plan and work the plan
- Love and laugh
- Cry and grieve
- Execute plans not people
Yr 5 – 7 head down, celebrate victories, learn from mistakes, Pastor and love the church you have….
- I see the light at the end of the tunnel and it’s not a train or Jesus calling me home.
- People choosing to be part of your church because they found it and like it
- walking in the confidence of the Lord, he’s got you and this.
