Chapter 11 – How to Train Leaders

More lists.

9 Training Objectives

May not need all. Might discover more. Each leader is different.

1.      Developing Depth in His Life

2.     Discovering His Vocation and His Gifts (I would hope that this had happened long before. OR we were talking about young people being trained. It seems a little late in the game to be discovering his gifts at this point [4years?])

3.     Building Up His Strengths

4.     Training Him in Leadership (Seems redundant that training a person in leadership is an objective under how to train leaders.)

5.     Taking Steps that Stretch His Faith

6.     Refining His Ministry Skills

7.     Learning Discernment

8.     Learning Communication Skills (I’m trying to keep in mind that many of these are extensions of past training objectives. Again, this is the first time I’ve seen communication and it seems a little bit late to train a person here.)

9.     Having a Good Doctrinal Foundation

I think it would be more beneficial for me to start obtaining the resource and reference materials in the book. The way I see it, I’m gonna go it alone. Either that or walk up to someone, give them the book and say, “train me.” Laughter.

Or get a group of us together and hold each other accountable to trying to do better.

When was the last time someone asked you, “how often do you read your Bible?”

Maybe I should start asking …

‘Cause if you ask a person how they are doing and they reply fine, but there is hesitation or sadness there… you either have to follow it up or let it go. And we all just let it go. It is so much easier than engaging. We’re supposed to engage the world? How about each other?

When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments.
