This exercise asks you to define a certain area of your church’s vision, then invites you into an honest assessment of what aspects of your culture promote that area of your vision, vs. what aspects of your culture work against it.

What if every church followed God’s leading in sending, and were willing to pray and give away our finances, and even our best leaders?
What if we could do so, not in our church’s 20th or 200th year of existence, but in its second year?
And what if we could at least start down that path, not when we have 200 or 2000 people engaged, but when we have 20 people?

How do we balance our finite humanity with the seemingly infinite demands of our callings? And how does the gospel intersect with our lives when depression and anxiety seem to be driving the ship?

Biblically and experientially, “discipleship” and “mission” at their best are relational pursuits. In this exercise, define your relationships in your mission and ministry with categorized roles and then prayerfully bring balance to them.

It is easy, in nearly every realm of ministry & mission, to rely on our ways: our strength, our plans, our strategy. This exercise is designed to help you take a tangible step in fighting that temptation and reversing that trend to dependence on God.

Work through the theological concept of “types” by discovering what is true about the original biblical element or character and then learn how Jesus is the true and better version.

The whole Bible tells the one overarching meta-story of God. Each story, command, and passage in the Bible also tell God’s story, over and over in “micro-” ways. Think through some micro-stories from the Bible and how they reflect the various parts of the story of God.

How do we balance our finite humanity with the seemingly infinite demands of our callings? And how does the gospel intersect with our lives when depression and anxiety seem to be driving the ship?

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!?

What if we've missed the point of "church leadership"? Why are so many Christian celebrities who "rose," now "falling"? Could it be that words like "celebrity" & "high profile" are never intended to refer to those leading God's people in the first place?

Do we actually know how Jesus sounds like good news to people today? Do we know how to share the gospel in a way that it addresses peoples' true needs, problems, questions and situations?

This exercise invites you into God’s one true story, which he tells in the Bible and our lives. Part 1 helps us see the story in the Bible and in our lives. Part 2 helps us remember the story's truths in times of of disbelief and temptation.

This exercise invites you to study your neighborhood, city, workplace or community to start to know the ins and outs of your missional sphere.

This exercise invites you to ask what it would look like for your primary calling — your identity in Christ — to show up in your secondary callings — your “station in life” (the various situations that make up your everyday existence: your job or school, your relationships, your neighborhoods, your hobbies, etc.).

There are many ways that an organization's leaders can equip, train, and support other members of the body in their giftings. One of the primary distinctions is knowing what others need, and how we can best meet that need. Often, leaders need to define the difference between three postures to take, to help see others in our organizations thrive.

Many churches, groups, and organizations say they want to equip others to participate in discipleship and disciplemaking. But to make that aspiration a reality, a culture must be created that bolsters your vision. The questions in this exercise can help you assess your current culture, and take a tangible next step toward becoming a disciple-making group.

A helpful “first step” to take in getting to know others more deeply is intentionally learning each other’s stories. This is true whether you have walked with people for a long while or whether you just formed a new group.

This exercise invites you to look at the things that shape and form you, either in light of or instead of the story God says is most true of you.

The practice of lament is lost in our modern world. Most people will distract or steel themselves rather than enter into a process of lament. Often misunderstood, lament is seen as a synonym for grief or venting anger, and what good does that do? The Bible teaches us a way to lament that leads to hope even amidst suffering. This exercise will help dig into what Scripture has to say about this lost art.

This exercise invites you to reflect on how the gospel might sound like good news in tangible ways, into real life scenarios people face. The “four movements” of the Story of God show us how Jesus gives us a true and better vision for different aspects of peoples’ worldview and common perceptions.
