Think of your church staff and key volunteer leaders as a light bulb, fully lit. Glowing. Spreading.What might this look like?The Word informing and shaping. The joyful Family of God living out its calling. The presence, gifts, and fruit of the Spirit--on full display and in use. Grace in misunderstandings and reconciliation for hurts. Hope and energy towards a collective future.

Lack of trust or willingness to collaborate. Silos.

Ideas.But, what if at least a portion of this non-flow problem lies in a deeper and perhaps yet simpler, place? What if these challenges are coming from somewhere you haven't yet looked? Or simply feel ill-equipped to look? And what if our people-program-idea efforts actually lead us to some errant people-program-idea decisions?How would you know?
