I ran across an article on the 360 Church at MMI, (thanks Todd) and thought it was interesting. Just an example of a church thinking outside of the parameters of a building, and focusing on making an impact in their community.

“I wanted to make our focus less about the inside and more about the outside, in a personal sense,” Pastor McCoy says.
Specific in its direction and needs, the nondenominational Christian church sets out to redefine worship. The congregation knows what it does not want, say its elders: its own building, repetition, internalization, spectators.
Instead, it craves relevancy, challenge, action, improvisation and collaboration.

I am intrigued by this thing called leadership. I often wonder why some do, and some don’t. Why some learn and others don’t.
Leadership is ultimately influence. But I believe great leadership is influence to do good. Too many people in this culture are poor leaders; leaders who influence people for bad.
When I was younger, even in my 20’s I had a desire to be famous. I guess I am not alone. Many people I have spoken too have wanted to be a “rock star” of sorts. This explains the popularity of American Idol show. But I have matured, at least some what; now rather than being famous I want to be influential. I want to help people have a better life.
I believe that in each person’s core we want to be a force for good rather then evil.
So that thought out; how can we grow our leadership muscle? Become more influential? Truly help people?
1.) Prayer – I know I know this seems so trite! But it’s easy to say, easy to write (or type) but not so easy to do on a daily basis! Start today!
2.) Study God’s Word – Another easy thing to say, yet difficult to find time in our busy schedules to do. Start today!
3.) Sincerity – 1 & 2 done on a regular basis will make this one really easy!
4.) Practice – Do leadership. Start small, and God will give you bigger stuff!
