EP 224 EIGHT QUESTIONS FOR 2024

00:00 / 25:34

Happy 2024 Bootcamp crew! Welcome to the beginning of the new year, we’re praying for you! Check out this list of 8 critical questions you can ask as you plan for the coming year. We’d love to hear from you! Drop us a line, send us some feedback and submit your own questions!

Eight questions to ask as you plan your projects and priorities for 2024

Have we prayed about this?
Is this a really big decision? (See our previous episode on weighing big decisions)
Is this just something I want or is it something that is good for the church? Are you alone in this idea, or have you run it by others? (See our previous episode about formal and informal permission) – notes below
Is this the right time to be making this change? Do I have the leadership capital for this change?
How does this project or priority help our church grow in love, unity, or maturity?
Are our priorities and projects focused more on God’s people and purpose or programs?
Is the issue at hand a biblical command or a missional context issue? (Think front seat of the car [identity] or back seat of the car [infrastructure] – see our previous episode on spiritual and organizational church health)
Does everything on our list of priorities, projects, and programs have a current value and purpose or are we just re-doing things because that is how we have done them before?

EPISODE #101 - YOUR FIRST 100 DAYS AS A REPLANTER

00:00 / 26:13

The Bootcamp Bros are back at it and this time they are musing about what they would go back and do differently in their first 100 days as Replanters. It’s not too late if you’re into your Replanting Journey, pray, develop a plan, recruit some leaders, pick a starting point, and go for it.

Jimbo started with something “not” to do: Forget your family. You can throw yourself in so deeply that you neglect your family during the first 100 days-don’t do that!

Here are more suggestions

Schedule plenty of face time with the congregation to have fun and fellowship! You need connection time to develop relationships and become their pastor.
Identify the “influencers and powerbrokers” Note: there are directional influencers and emotional influencers-there’s a difference you need to know they difference and who they are.
Learn about your community buy getting a great demographics report-we suggest Double Doc-Josh Dryer, get your free demo report here. Additionally-pound the pavement-ask people in your community; “If our church were going to serve this community in some meaningful way-what would that be?”
Change something physical in a visible way-not the flags, the history room etc. but something that catches the eye and helps people know-things are changing.
Find out where God is already at work in your church and community-and then join him.
Celebrate and commemorate your first 100 days!

What would you do differently in your first 100 days? Drop us a line, send us a text-we would love to hear from you.

In today’s connected culture your church needs a functional and strategic web presence. Our great sponsor One Eighty Digital can get your Church a website up and running in the right direction.

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
