What a great post! Thanks for making us all think….we can apply this to so many areas of life. We have to be constantly thinking and evaluating!

I know I’m really late here but just now catching up on my reading.

I think you made an important point. You didn’t realize just how far off you guys were until you were out of it for 6 months.

The key is finding ways to withdraw from the daily routines and though processes. While you probably can’t take a 6 month vacation (actually I know YOU can’t take 6 month vacation), you need to find ways to step back. Ask tough questions. Get out of the daily routine. Visit other churches. Think differently.

Good stuff! I think there are so many variations in people that God gives different churches different ways to reach out. Looks like you guys are nailing the niche God has carved out for you~

Hi Jenni! Great read! Pride does come before the fall…wow…how many times do I have to fall???? I do thank God He has always placed friends in my life that usually care enough about me to say the “tuff stuff!” The thing that keeps me pumped about ministry is that when I do think I have it all figured out…He shakes it all up…again!!!! Love your blog!

Jenni,

You said it best at the end, when you think you have arrived you better re-think what it is you are doing. I’ve been dealing in sales now for almost 12 years. I struggle with this issue everyday. Am I targeting the right market or am I just plan missing the boat. The best way I can express it is how successful are you. If you are growing than you are targeting the right market. But no matter what you do or how you do it there will always be a market that you are missing.

I couldn’t agree more. I think you hit the nail on the head.

The fact that you are even asking this is HUGE! Keep asking yourself this question every year and you should stay on point! Very wise…

WOW Lay it out there. You have just hit on a subject where I want to take my head against the wall. I would love an offline meeting of an interested group to toss some stuff on the wall and see what sticks! I spend toms of my day on this very debate. Thanks jc for the post.

Such a good post!
Lord help me to not be so focused on my position that I am not willing to hear from others (and accept) that I am off track. That I am missing something – because I always will be, there will always be more for me to learn, more that I can do.
