Transformational leadership is very different than transactional leadership.

Transformational leadership uses ministry to build people RATHER THAN uses people to build ministry.

(It’s easy to get it backwards— and it’s easy to even spiritualize it when we do!)

⚙️

Here, we dialogue about the importance of—

🧭 God-given vision

💙 Meaningful membership that creates an easy on-ramp for people to join that vision

🔥 Passionate spirituality— a vibrancy that exudes as people get enthusiastic (read: en-theos, that is, en-God)

⚙️ Functional strategies that help make that vision come to fruition

🍇 Connected and loving relationships that permeate everything

⏰💰⚡️Sacrificial generosity that taps into people’s time, treasure, and focus

👑 Kingdom orientation, in which people— together— serve something bigger than themselves and even their own church

As we round out the “healthy church” series, we END with some of the things most leaders (wrongly, we think) begin with…

We start dialoguing about “what it looks like” when churches thrive.

🌳

Here’s why we don’t start here.

Focusing on fruit (i.e., the mechanics of how we do things) is a temporary measure. Fruit comes and goes— when tended to on its own.

Focusing on the roots, though, and insuring we grow a healthy tree insures the fruit continues coming.

Now, when we DO NOT see the fruit, it can be an indicator that we need to look at those roots (see Matthew 7:17-20)— in grace— and do some work.

But, the root precedes the fruit— not the other way around.

Continuing our previous discussion on conflict, we outline a step-by-step process you can use to deal with tough conversations…

By the way, BEFORE we go there…

Many people ask, “Should I go to them, or should I wait for them to come to me?”

Some even suggest, “It’s their fault— I’m not budging. They need to come apologize.”

We get it. However, let’s look at how Jesus framed relational rifts.

He said, “If your brother offends you, go to him” (Matthew 18:15f.).

He also said, “If you’re about to offer your gift at the altar [read: worship] and remember your brother has something against you, leave your gift and first be reconciled to your brother” (see Matthew 5:23-24).

In other words, Jesus encourages us to ALWAYS INITIATE relational healing rather than waiting.

If it’s their fault, you initiate.

If it’s your fault, you initiate.

How do you do it?

What do you say?

In this episode, we walk through it…
