Leftovers: Make A Dent...Fill-in?

Chris and Melissa have some questions about Greg's recent fill-in of "fill-in" as they share thoughts about leadership, delegation, synergy, and how that can be seen in Jacob's Well. 

Make A Dent: Can't Someone Else Do This?

Of course someone else can do it, but that doesn’t change the fact that you were the one called. But don’t worry, that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone. Leaders aren’t loners. Loners measure their impact by what they do. Leaders measure it by what others do because of them. When Moses got tapped by God, it took him awhile to figure it out but he finally realized his job was to tap others. If leadership feels heavy, maybe it’s time to start tapping!

Make A Dent: I Have No Idea How to Do This

In desperate situations Indiana Jones is always asked, “What’s your plan?” And his classic response is, “I’m working on it.” Seat of the pants leadership is probably the only form of authentic leadership, but that doesn’t mean wishful thinking is worth following. You will need to pull the necessary pieces together and put them to work. Moses’ lesson this week is that before we start looking all around us, a search needs to happen inside us. Let’s start looking!

Make A Dent: Who Died and Made You King?

Leadership has its own version of buyer’s remorse. It’s getting all hyped up to be the champion, take the risk, march on out there, only to lose your courage and conviction when everyone looks at you like, “Who do you think you are?” The fact is that you do not have the skills, experience or natural abilities to change the world. Sorry, but someone had to tell you that. But then, you don’t have to. Someone needs to tell you that too. You see, stepping up to leadership is up to you, but it’s not about you. That’s what Moses discovered. You will too. Make a dent!

Make a Dent: Who Am I To Lead?

It’s easy to look at the heroes in our life and think that they are special in some way, that they never felt scared or doubted their own abilities. The reality is that all of those people we look up to are us, but just a little farther along. The only difference is that they’ve taken steps forward that we haven’t yet taken. Let’s explore those first steps that are necessary for making a dent, through the life of Moses, a long dead, much revered, very scared man.

Check Your Baggage: Regret

You don’t have to live too long to compile a sizeable string of regrets. Things happen you didn’t intend and you have to live with them. You can’t change what happened in your past, but you don’t have to be weighed down by it either. In fact, like all baggage when you deal with your regrets you discover that they can help you shape your future.

Leftovers - Why Check Your Baggage?

We've been digging in to huge issues that affect our life and relationships lately. Why do we do stuff like that? Here's a little bit of a taste of our approach to digging in to big things like this as a community. If you are trying to figure out how to broach those difficult conversations within your own community, it's worth it! Share comments on this episode or reach out to us through our website!

Check Your Baggage: Ruts

One thing about the past, it taught us how to do things that we can’t unlearn. And some of it is dragging us down. I don’t care if it was the disconnectedness in your family of origin, your addiction to tobacco, meth, porn or gossip, or your bad money management practices…your ruts haunt you yet today. But they don’t have to live in your future. Learning new ways of life is something we can help each other do.
