Rally Recap

By Paul Wilkinson

We had a great leader rally last night: getting to know one another better, syncing up our mission to be disciples of Jesus making disciples with Jesus, and partying!! Here’s a quick recap:

  • We want to help our group members be changed by Jesus.
    • How do you gauge the devotional life and spiritual growth of yourself and your group members? How does your group equip its members to engage the Scriptures daily?
    • DREAM: To see 75% of our group members engage the Scriptures daily.
    • HOW WE EQUIP: Current Foundations Curriculum, JourneyOn Today app, Focus Study on God’s Story by Roger Severino, blog, podcast.
    • Roger Severino discussed the Whole Life Stewardship Bible study and sermon series that will be a churchwide (all campuses) alignment for the months of October and November.  The lessons are already posted under the Curriculum tab at the JourneyOn Leadership page found above.
  • We want to help our group members live on mission with Jesus.
    • What service projects does your group engage and how do you invite along the lost and searching to serve with you? What mission journeys did you or those in your group take last year?
    • DREAM: Every Group is represented on a non-local mission trip each year.
    • HOW WE EQUIP: Mission Journeys, Local Missions

1, I, One, Eins, Uno BIG Idea

By Paul Wilkinson

Ken Braddy talked about having only one big idea for each group gathering. It is so crucial that we give our group members some concrete handles as we lead, so:

  • Play the long game knowing you can build on it next week;
  • Aim for helping them live out their faith;
  • Don’t overwhelm your group members with fact upon fact.
