Let’s Talk
Is your church equipped to develop the next generation of leaders?
So much of life today is focused on urgent issues right in front of us. Even in church ministry, day-to-day tasks take up the majority of our schedules and headspace, crowding out opportunities to think strategically about long-term goals. Experts call this phenomenon the “tyranny of the urgent.”
Local church ministry, like the Christian life, consists of both the now and the not yet—the near-term and the long-term. But if we’re not careful, our ministries can be tyrannized by what seems most urgent, hampering our focus on critical long-term emphases like leadership development.How can we build up the next generation of leaders when so much is clawing for our attention now?
