Delight in relationships before implementing new systems

Nov 21

Season 6, Episode 10

We reach the final episode of our Momentum in Ministry series and Joel, Tim and Karen reflect on the many learnings of the season. They look at what engaging in the book Breakout Churches has taught us but also look at their own church and ministry contexts as well as what might prevent momentum taking hold.

The trio's conversation comes down to a few key points: vision is important, as is the strategy, and often churches do not engage in such work because it is hard. But what can emerge from that hard work is something inspiring given by God. Momentum ideally comes from a healthy church and a key way of doing that is to focus on building relationships before establishing new systems and ideas, because Jesus calls us love one another.
