Some of the lessons I am learning as I start Discover Church...
- Under promise and over deliver. Disappointment comes from unmet expectations, resist temptation to raise them too high or spend a lot of time encouraging your core team.
- No model will fit you perfectly.
- God provides!
- God has been bringing people into the community for years in preparation for your church.
- Keep dreaming.
- So comforting to remember that Jesus is the One building His church not me.
- Planting with a team is essential
- Be prepared to step up your commitment to spiritually lead your family.
- Closely connect the dates for your community serving event and your Vision Cast. We waited about two weeks in between and it was too long. Lost momentum.
- Make sure you have fun with your team. Church planting is so serious, taxing and sacrificial it's more important to have a blast too.
- You must hemorrhage your vision for your people to bleed it.
- My faith is weak.
- Vision leaks, constantly revisit it again and again.
- You must spend money to raise money.
- Stay flexible on non-essentials especially if you are in a more transient culture.
- Personal time with God is mandatory for confidence, wisdom, peace, vision, and compassion.
