Using Summer for Discipleship with Daniel Yang
The Equipping Group’s April Online Workshop
How do we live in THIS season of discipleship, while preparing for the NEXT one?
Do we ever take time to pause, to both zoom in on our hearts and zoom out to assess our ministry efforts?
And… what is ‘discipleship’ supposed to look like during the summer, with its ups and downs, vacations, and more!?
Pastor, missiologist, and advocate Daniel Yang believes there is a unified answer to questions like those above: we can see summertime as a fruitful season for discipleship – not just a time to disengage when ministry activity dies down and the rhythms of people are simply “off”!
In this free online workshop, Daniel will share from his journey and from experience coaching pastors and leaders how to intentionally imaginesummer as a time to reflect and re-create new rhythms for your personal life and ministry. He will also help you prepare how to develop and deepen your spiritual root system this Summer to prepare for greater faithfulness and fruitfulness in the Fall and beyond.
The goal of this time is to focus on the joys and challenges that come in the summer (and other seasons of discipleship), and to receive the unique time as a gift from God, both personally and in ministry. You’ll be equipped with wisdom and a practical plan for this next season of your ministry so that you can end this Spring well and feel excited and prepared for whatever this Summer may bring.
