I’m continuing to share some thoughts from our recent staff exercise-replacing old beliefs with new beliefs .

In the old days (I sound stupid saying that.  The old days for us were 2 and a half years ago.  Still, you know what I mean…) the success of a staff member was defined by how much they were able to do.
Today, we need our staff to measure their effectiveness by how much they can empower others to do.

Staff members who continue to do without empowering do not only wear themselves out.  By building departments or volunteer teams that can’t function without them, they cripple development.  They abuse potential.  And they leave frustrated followers in their wake.
Being a one man ministry show is not noble.  It’s ultimately selfish and wasteful.

There’s too much untapped energy, power, skill, and creativity in our churches for any one staff member to bottleneck the anointing by doing it all.
