Spiritual Growth Pathways… Monvee & Grow to Go

Funny how time flies… I remember tinkering with a system of looking at spiritual growth pathways back in 2000 while serving at Fielder Road in Texas and then putting it on the shelf only to revisit it again in 2005-06 while serving at Saddleback.  Then again on the shelf for a year until really beginning to unpack my thoughts on what became known as “Grow to Go” with the Christ Fellowship team in Florida.

The five purposes of scripture combined with 3 levels of learning producing 15 quadrants and 60 sub-quadrants of learning and endless possibilities of spiritual growth for the end user.  Using the data from Reveal and Follow Me we were able to work on some really cool insights dialoguing with the guys at My Next Steps that when paired with personality types and spiritual gifted-ness yielded a personalized spiritual growth plan.

It was a ton of fun working with the Christ Fellowship Team, Think Ministry, Big Bad Collab, and Skills Net on a dream I’d had for 9 years.  All great people working on a great tool.  After leaving Florida in late 2009 it was tabled.

This week I’ve had the opportunity to research and test the beta for Monvee.  I am very impressed.  It accomplishes everything we were working on with Grow to Go.

Way to go Monvee Team… I love what you’ve created and believe it too will not only revolutionize the way we think about spiritual formations it will create a way of spiritual growth that the church has been needing for decades.

If you haven’t gotten on board with Monvee… The time is now.  Be a part of the wave.

I am so stoked to share with you our One Life at Christ Fellowship.

We have 3 campuses in Palm Beach County, Florida ministering to 13,000 persons weekly and are launching our 4th campus in August an hour north in Martin County.

In addition, we have some 4,000 people worshiping with us online each week from over 22 countries that we are assimilating in to online life group chat rooms.

And if that wasn’t awesome enough we are opening our new Life Center this fall which houses our Gods Town for Kids, Student Zone, Adult Ministry/Family Area, Bookstore, Cafe, and offices.

I don’t know about you, but that ROCKS!

Leadership Gathering at Christ Fellowship and lessons from Jethro

Tonight we hosted our Leadership Team at Christ Fellowship for a night of food, tours of the new 125,000 sq. ft. Life Center and lessons from Jethro.

Now this is a great idea for you if you haven’t done this before.

Once every 3 to 6 months gather all your ministry partners together for a time of worship, fellowship, listening, and learning together.  It is a great way to build relational equity as well as to rally the troops and get face time with ministry partners and staff from across different ministries departments.

In addition, we used this time to introduce our new staff members to the core ministry partners and have our elders pray over the staff as a first step in their lives as a part of the new team.

Pastor Tom also gave us some great leadership principles out of Exodus 18 and how Jethro spoke into the life of Moses.  A couple of keys are that Moses received Jethro’s coaching well.  1000’s, 100’s, 50’s, and 10’s will spread the load.  You are not good enough to carry it all.  Help persons find their sweet spot in leading at the level they are best suited.

It was a really good night.
