How to spiritually invest in others…
I had a great 24 hour conference this week with some terrific church planters from around the nation. One of the things that we realized in our 24 brain storm was that we typically put a lot of energy into communicating “WHAT” needs to be done but often drop the ball in passing on “HOW” to do it.
This next series of posts I want to focus on the “HOW” of spiritually investing in others.
The first one could easily cross over to parenting as well.
#1 Don’t tell others, show others.
One of my favorite sayings is, “Who you are speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you are saying.” When Jesus chose his disciples he didn’t invite them to sit in a classroom with him. He called them to walk with him, live with him, and to learn from being with him.
If you want to lead other people spiritually, make sure that you are not leading them to follow you, but rather to walk along side of you in following Jesus!
The best way to invest spiritually in others is to model it. It really is caught more than taught.
