WARMUP: Stories and Prayer
THE THANG: Fruit of leadership cannot be faked – you turn a minute into a lifetime. Good or bad. Something that continues without you.
– Position power vs personal power – F3 has no position power.
– “The persuasion is the place where I flop.”
– Do the rating criteria on a team help the mission or distract from it?
– Winnowing process may look like failure – Jesus’ depleting the ranks of followers with his instructions regarding eating his flesh (communion.)
– Persuasion without understanding can have a sneaky, snake oil connotation to it.
– Exhoration is a 3 way street: The approach/relationship. The deliverer. The receiver.
– Did men step in with the focus of “We can be better than this?”
– Discussed basic civility in pictures and in public places.
HOMEWORK:
1. In leading a group, at what point do standards and criteria become hypocritical?
2. Then consider this in relation to proximity – the difference with a relationship vs absent a relationship.
