5 Important Purposes Of Meeting

Today, Shawn Lovejoy talks about the soil for healthy teams-meetings. Yes, meetings. Meetings are a challenge, they’re a tension but they’re a necessity and I would actually say to you that the soil for building a healthy culture happens in meetings. Every great decision that a ministry makes ought to happen in a meeting. We’re going to talk about that today.

 

I want you to think about going back to the gospel just for a moment. All the times in the gospels Jesus was trying to get away from people. Think about that for just a minute. Think about all the times Jesus was trying to get away from the crowds actually to be with the leaders. He was always pulling himself away from the masses to be with the few.

 

You know what we normally do? Exactly the opposite leadership styling Jesus. We pull ourselves away from the leaders to go and be applauded by the masses. I would say to you, if you want to lead like Jesus fight to get away from the tyranny of the urgent needs among the masses. Spend less time with followers and more time with leaders. That happens in meetings, in leadership meetings. So today, Shawn is going to share 5 Importance Purposes Of Meetings that you’ll want to make sure get incorporated into your organization’s team meetings. 

Team Application Guide

 

The purpose for this Application Guide is to help you implement practical, meaningful meetings in your organization that will bring life and unity, not boredom and church politics. Meetings are a challenge and there is always a tension that comes with having meetings…but they are a necessity. So instead of drudging through them, why not invest some time into making your meetings more productive and more effective.
To begin this Application Guide, watch the video by Shawn and then, print off this guide. Sit down with your team (maybe during a meeting!) or simply walk through this Application Guide yourself. First, think through the Team Discussion Questions below in order to get your brain working and be sure to take some notes on your answers. Then move onto the What’s Next section, and fill in the blanks with your answers. Don’t forget to write down any meaningful discoveries or ideas you have and be sure to give yourself some deadlines.
