186. Birthing Teams for Movements

In this episode, we continue on with Roy Moran’s teaching as we look at the different roles in movements as we birth teams. It’s important to know that we cannot do it alone. Our first question after God gives us a vision is always “who?” as we seek to replicate leadership in teams. Constant sharpening and failing in movement teams is crucial. If we don’t take risks, then there’s no need for faith. So at the start of this year as we seek to hear from God and commit to stepping out what he is saying, we begin by listening to Roy share how we can birth teams filled with different roles.  Do we something feel like this?

Even though we need to train a lot, training itself is not the answer. Instead culture is what is needed to move forward. It’s not a training problem that we have. Instead it’s a culture that we need to create. “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” (Peter Drucker)  “Culture is built by language and ritual” (Roy). These are the habits that people replicate. We can’t just take the training on DBS, program it and plant it in the soil of a different type of culture and then somehow expect to see movements start.  3 ways to to plant a movement culture Plant disciple making inside the good soil of an existing church culture. This requires spaces where people are already completely bent towards lostness. “Everyone has a heart for disciple making. Only few have a stomach for it” (Roy). This is because it will cost church leaders their people and their money. Plant it alongside an existing church culture. Needs to be encouraged and fostered. Plant it apart from an existing church culture. Release the radicals by supporting and encouraging them. Questions to think about at the end of this episode Are you creating team by bringing people around you?  Are these people becoming replicators?
