The simple purpose of this podcast is to help church leaders understand how planning and strategizing is important to carrying out the Great Commission.
Series #1, Episode #12
Our Strategic Christian Leadership Bible verse for this episode is 1 Peter 3:14 which says, “But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;”
Our Strategic Christian Leadership quote for this episode is from Leroy Eims. He said, “A leader is one who sees more than others see, who sees farther than others see, and who sees before others do.”
Our first topic today is part 8 of “Chapter 1: Preparing the Navigator — A Prelaunch Checklist” from “Advanced Strategic Planning: A New Model for Church and Ministry Leaders” by Aubrey Malphurs.
We will continue looking at the Purpose of Strategic Planning
14. To make wise decisions about the facilities and their location. Churches must meet somewhere, and we have discovered that their care and the location of their facilities are strategically important to ministry to the community. Churches must determine if they are best positioned to reach their community or if they need to relocate for maximum effectiveness.
Our second topic today is part 5 of “Chapter 1: Minimality — Keep it Simple” from “Deliberate Simplicity: How the Church Does More by Doing Less” by Dave Browning.
Do What Works
In his book Managing in a Time of Great Change, Peter Drucker asserts that groups fail because “in most cases, the right things are being done — but fruitlessly … the assumptions on which the organization has been built and is being run no longer fit reality.”
Our third topic today is part 2 of Chapter 3: “Common Sense: The Logic of Humility” from “Humilitas: A Lost Key to Life, Love, and Leadership” by John Dickson.
Competency Extrapolation
I will never forget an awkward conversation with a renowned engineer and family friend about Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. I mentioned over lunch that historians found the novel’s premise quite funny—my own ancient history department was running seminars at the time humorously debunking its more outrageous claims. My friend wouldn’t have a bar of it. It was substantially true, he insisted, and nothing I said changed his mind, even though he knew my doctoral work was in the relevant field.
