EP 179 - THE INVALUABLE SIGNIFICANCE OF LAY LEADERS

00:00 / 22:42

This EP was recorded in Elk City OK when the guys were in town for the Revive Summit-of which there are two more, we invite you to join us in either Tuscon or Mt. Vernon. Today we get down to the serious business of discussing the value and importance of lay leaders in your church.

Lay Leaders: non ordained, non-vocational leaders, members of the church who contribute towards the welfare and the mission of the local church.

We believe there is a need for equipping people for ministry, it’s biblical.

An important distinction: the task isn’t the goal, the equipping of the people is the goal.

A resourceful generalist is willing to do anything that needs doing, but wise enough to not do everything.

Not every person in your congregation is called to be a leader, but everyone in your congregation is called to be a disciple. –Neil Cole

We encourage you to engage with your church body, equip them for ministry and realize they are an important part of ministry necessary to the vital functioning of your church.

Our great sponsor, One Eighty Digital, is ready to assist your church in developing a great web presence to connect with your community. Give them a shout and let them know you are a bootcamp listener.

EPISODE #71 - EQUIP LEADERS

00:00 / 20:58

Bob gets honest about his disdain for Tom Brady, Jimbo has a Chiefs fan in the house and we get down to discussing why equipping your people for ministry is not only a central part of your calling but a joy. Check out the highlights below and consult the show notes for details.

The PITO lens: Personal, Interpersonal, Team, Organizational

Don’t fall into the trap of doing ministry just because you are a single staff leader. We are called to equip the saints for the work of ministry.

Personally

evaluate your motives
check your definitions of success

Interpersonally

make disciples-identify spiritual giftings and calling
Discipleship and serving are for everyone, leadership is for a few

Team

involve other leaders in helping you equip others in the church
don’t be the “lid” by limiting equipping to yourself

Organizationally

have an intentional strategy, process and plan
think broader than your context and your church, develop kingdom leaders
