    Quarterly Unstuck Church Report

Got to sit in on my first NewSpring staff meeting this past week. Among other things, Perry did a brief leadership lesson. He talked about these four things that we need to continue to do as staff leaders:

1. Think about where we came from. Perry reminded us that we need to remember what God is doing and what he’s done in our personal and ministry journeys. He cited Exodus 20:2 where God reminds Moses, “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.” What has God done in your life? Remember that.

2. Keep ourselves pure. Perry said, “You would be amazed at what your testimony means to this church.” My purity is important to the legacy of this ministry. As an example, see Joshua 7:1. The Israelites acted unfaithfully, “so the LORD’s anger burned against Israel.” Don’t mess with God’s anger. And be grateful for his grace and mercy.

3. Fight slipping into cruise control. Perry reminded us that “Our job can’t be our job. Our job has to be our passion.” We can’t approach ministry as if we’ve arrived. God’s mission is bigger than that.

4. Seek God’s opinion about everything. Perry is reading through Exodus right now and he shared how he’s been struck by the attention to detail that God has on even the smallest of matters. God is into the details. God cares about everything I do. As Perry expressed, “I want to hear God.”

If you’d like to pray for the staff team at NewSpring, pray through this list. I can assure you we’d welcome that. None of us have ever experienced what’s happening at NewSpring. We desperately need God’s wisdom and strength.
