CONNECTION OP
This WED is Seeker Night at CLC! You know what that means! God's will and timing will intersect (like "X" marks the spot on a treasure map) and you and your Journey group can get caught in the cross hairs of God's outpouring. Here's a thought - if you are a in a discipleship group, why not reach out and touch your group and invite them to attend the Seeker Night with you and then run by Dairy Queen for a quick cone afterwards? You don't have to be the discipleship to do this, you know.
HELP US BUILD THE DISCIPLESHIP COACHING GROUPS
We need your help. We have room for 24 people in coaching groups but so far less than 10 signed up. Who do you know at CLC who would benefit from a year with a spiritual mentor? Would you be willing to talk to him or her for us? Would you please email me their names at journey@clctn.org so I can have our captains follow up?
TWO JOURNEY GROUPS AT ONCE?
One of our discipleship coaches emailed me about two of her mentees joining a focus group. Her legitimate question was is it OK for them to do this? I am pasting my response to her to you that others might know how best to respond if this is your situation as well.
Hey _______– We highly discourage any Journey student to sign up for other groups. Having said that, we approach this not as a hard fast rule but on a case by case basis. Any time this occurs as it has with 2 of your girls, I would like for you to have a conversation with them and get their assurance that they will give focused energy with their limited time resources to the Journey first and foremost. If they have margin in their life to sustain a focus group like BB Money and the extra work that this will require them to do at home, I have no problem with it at all.
So, tell them this is highly irregular and discouraged but we will make an exception for them if they can guarantee that their Journey Discipleship Program commitment will not suffer. - David
THE CLC APP
Have you downloaded our beta CLC App yet? Search on your mobile device in the app store for Christian Life Church. I'm still working out the bugs and artwork issues so it will get better! I would love for some of you to post your feedback right here in the comments section on this blog. The entire Journey curriculum is uploaded in audio format and is a quick button push away so you can do the Journey anytime, anywhere from your mobile device.
NEW NAMES FOR EL1, EL2, EL3
New for 2014! We have changed the names of our leadership pathway for Journey leaders as follows:
- Emerging Leaders 1 is now "Growing the Leader Within You"
- Emerging Leaders 2 is now "Growing into a Person of Influence"
- Emerging Leaders 3 is not "Growing the Leaders Around You" (that one is pending)
If you are a Journey coach who has just graduated, please make sure your grads make their next connection into the 1st tier of leadership training or some other opportunity. We don't want them to fall between the cracks after a year of discipleship with you.
