Reflections on 11/17 Class

Although this may seem like an obvious observation, today's work in our small groups allowed me to see the value in pursuing unity of heart and mind among the members of a church planting team. Despite any differences of opinion or in our strategic approaches, we all sought to find common ground while working to simplify our planting plans into deep convictions and foundational values. The differences in our approaches faded because we all were united in our willingness to pursue God's desires for our church, the community, and the world at large. This is a truth that I recognize that I must hold onto in any of my future planting opportunities.
