Church Pastors, Ministers, Ministry Coordinators, Did you know that the culture of your church and ministries are currently aligned to achieve the results that you're seeing right now? That's right! Your church culture, in large measure, determines the outcomes of your ministry organization. If your church is accomplishing the mission and vision that the Lord has put before you and your people, and you're seeing the results that you desire, PRAISE GOD!!! ONWARD!!! The truth is, for various reasons, many churches are not operating at their God-given potential and fulfilling their mission and vision! Perhaps there have been recent changes in leadership, whether among the staff or in other areas of the organization, prompting the need for a cultural shift. Alternatively, your church's vision and mission might have evolved or grown over time, necessitating a cultural realignment to elevate your ministry. If any of this describes where you're at and you'd like to discuss how to properly align the culture of your church or ministry to fulfill the vision and desired outcomes, I'd like to talk with you about that!

The two questions I most frequently get asked about my Proactive Discipleship Strategy is who is a disciple maker and where do I find them? In a blog post from a year ago or so, I broached the topic in my blog with a post titled Who is a Disciple Maker? I referenced one of my favorite disciple making stories in the Book of Acts as an example to look at four key actions of a disciple maker. It's not a long read at all, but it is full of important ideas for us to adopt as disciple makers in the 21st Century Church! https://lnkd.in/gsM_REMU

When is the stated story not the whole story? Almost always! When the Bible states that Jesus healed everyone present, ever wonder how much detail we are missing in these stories? Perhaps 99% is missing, as the Gospel writers pack three years of Jesus' ministry into a relatively short portion of Scripture. That is, 3 years x 4 Gospel writers = 12 years X 365 days/yr = 4380 days. All squeezed into just 78 chapters of the four Gospels combined. This comes to about two-hundredths of a chapter available to cover each day in Jesus' three years of ministry. Not much time. Obviously, MOST details will have to be skipped. (Part 1 of this blog series is here.) Now when they come to cover the 6 hours of Jesus’ crucifixion, they spend about 2 full chapters on these 6 hours (ie, one full day, if you combine all four writers). Wow! This a ton more content about these six hours of Jesus' life. Still, none of the four Gospel writers provide ALL the details of these 6 hours, even though they spend one hundred times more space detailing the crucifixion story than they spend on any other one day of Jesus' ministry! Let's watch the story build as each Gospel writer adds additional insights. 29 details about the death of Jesus Mark lays out 15 points (Mark 15:21-41) 1.   Simon of Cyrene bore Jesus’ cross to Golgotha. 2.   Jesus would not take wine mixed with myrrh. 3.   Lots were cast for His garments. 4.   Crucified on the third hour. 5.   The inscription "THE KING OF THE JEWS." 6.   Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and one on His left. 7.   People passing by were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself, and come down from the cross!" 8.   Chief priests and scribes were mocking Him. 9.   Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him. 10.   When the sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour. 11.   At the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" which is translated, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" 12.   Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down." And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed His last. 13.   And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 14.   When the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!" 15.   Women looking on from a distance.
