COT:
Psalm 145:14

The Lord upholds all who fall
    and lifts up all who are bowed down.

This verse speaks to me right now. I was a bit in a slump spiritually. I think the Christmas season really wore me out this year. It pissed me off how all the “Christmas” things pulled me away from the whole point of the season.
This verse encourages me because Jesus loves to find us in these low seasons so he can pick us back up and walk with us.

[virtuous-leadership-school] We “Finished” the book

We finished the last chapter of Q Source and will start with chapter one next week. The title of this chapter was odd, out of context, but after reading the book and knowing about “lizards” it is easier to follow. Wrapping up the book comparing Jesus’s ministry and the 12 disciples to what we are doing was fantastic, and not something I was expecting.

To say this study has been impactful would be accurate, but to to summarize how impactful would be impossible. I have greatly enjoyed studying this subject matter with these men, and I look forward to continuing to study this in the future.

[virtuous-leadership-school] Missionality

We gathered to discuss the Q point of missionality, but the Q read the wrong chapter, one didn’t read, and the other didn’t finish reading the chapter. Despite being wholly unprepared to discuss the correct chapter, we had a great theological discussion that ended up on the mission. Since I read the wrong chapter, I spoiled next week, but you still have to read!

This group continues to have meaningful life conversations that better prepare me for leading, and I find improvement in personal relationships, and I find my spirituality growing because of the healthy challenges we discuss each week.

Borg was missed. Have fun in Nashville!

This week’s QPoint (4.7) was Equipping. We had great discussion about putting a team together that plays to each members strengths, rather than teaching skills where we are weak. We had a dynamic conversation about marriage and the “mission” & “submission”. I think we all continue to be amazed at how relevant this material and subsequent conversation this is every single week. This is a time worth the sacrifice on Sunday AM.
