Notes on Leadership Team Training (mostly fill in the blanks)
Unit 2 section 2
So we are relevant and understand the people around us.
Unit 3 section 2
Let’s make a list of evangelistic methods which you might have used/been
trained in/heard about:
Things we likely can use as descriptions for those things:
Methods
Formulas
Packages
Presentations
Entertaining events
Techniques
Arguments
Knowing the right answers
What do all those things have in common?
1 A foundational belief that the responsibility to be successful in
evangelism is ours.
2 A foundational belief that we have the ability to convert others.
3 An underlying value that the end result of conversion justifies the means
of how we get someone there.
Even though we might know those are not true, our evangelism methods and
strategies often still reflect those beliefs.
That is not to say that we have no responsibility, but merely to say that
there is an overemphasis placed on our role and ability to change people.
We often act as though we are control freaks the world will end if we do
not take advantage of every situation that even might be an opportunity.
Or we react to that and run away or refuse to be evangelistic at all.
Unit 3 section 4
What is to be our Apologetic?
Typically, what is that like?
Philosophical answers to rational questions.
Unit 3, Section 5
So. If we are to be concerned with asking the right questions
at the right time, what questions are
okay to ask before someone’s conversion?
The ones that __ ask _. (they ask you)
The ones that __ have __. (you have yourself)
Why?
If they ask you, you have permission to answer without having to invade
their space or move them faster than their pacing.
If you ask ones that you yourself have, you are not putting yourself in the
position of being an expert. You are communicating that you are not any
more spiritual than they, and that it is okay for them to have those
questions and still be a christian.
