Fall Regionals 🍁 are happening now…..

Inspiration won't develop a leader. A plan will.

The difference between inspiration and intentional fulfillment is having a plan.

Get the plan in place. God will bring the people.

You can show up on Sunday and not be okay.

Leah kept leading worship while her daughter was going through a medical crisis. She had to get okay with crying in front of people and telling them she was angry with God.

Her relationship with Him got deeper because she was honest.

Inspired leaders still need a plan.

In this video, Dennis Calhoun walks through the Intentional Internship Planner. HNI offers it through our partnership with Mac Lake.

It has six parts:

Interviews = learning from everyone on your team
Ministry development = hands-on experience in new areas
Spiritual development = Sabbath, evangelism, generosity, Bible study, discipleship
Stretch assignments = growth past where they are now
Theological study = grounding in what your church believes
Custom assignments = your own goals, check-ins and deadlines

It works for a 3-month summer internship or a full year.

If God has brought someone to you who wants to grow as a leader, this will help you give them a plan.

I had to be okay with showing up on Sundays and not being okay.

I had to be okay with crying in front of people.

I had to be okay with saying to them, no, I'm not doing well. My heart hurts.

I had to be okay with telling people I'm angry with God.

That's Leah Young, a worship leader, describing the year her newborn daughter was facing blindness.

She says once she admitted it, her relationship with the Lord got deeper. Because she was honest.

Closers multiply leaders. Losers depend on the same few.

You cannot reach more, impact more, and stay out of burnout while holding ministry tight.

At some point you have to give it away.
