Questions from Chapter 3

As we look at chapter 3 of Power Surge, here are the questions at the end of the chapter that we might consider:

QUESTIONS FOR PRAYERFUL REFLECTION

1. Carefully reflect on the six critical marks of leadership and check which are your areas of strength and which are your areas of growth:

(ii)        Commitment to personal discipleship

(iii)       Ability to see and cast the vision

(iv)       Ability to contextualize the vision

(v)        Ability to align community to the vision

(vi)      Ability to continually communicate

(vii)     Ability to manage change

2.       To change any of these from areas of growth to areas of strength, what would you need to do?  With whom would you need to do it?

3.       Can you identify a group of lay leaders in your congregation who could engage in a visioning process like the one described in this chapter?

4.       How does your community of faith react to change?

5.       What might you do to help the community react more positively to change?
