Episode 42 - Dan Reiland Talks Amplified Leadership Part 3... and says "Go Be Normal Christians In The Community!"

10/30/2013

 
Today's podcast is Part 3 of our conversation with Dan Reiland, around his book, Amplified Leadership. This podcast covers chapters 5 & 6, which talk about 1) inviting people into meaningful ministry and 2) training them for ministry success. Dan is the Executive Pastor of 12Stone Church, just outside Atlanta, GA.

Dan, in his book, encourages us as small church pastors to make the most of the asking experience, when we invite a person into what he terms "meaningful ministry". He gives us five components of a compelling invitation:
  1. Make sure your focus is on maturing believers, not filling slots. It's true that people want significance for their lives, and they avoid requests to just fill an organizational slot. As pastors, we focus too often on filling slots, right? But Dan encourages us to see this as maturing our people.
  2. Share the vision, not the task. Jonny and I talk about this specifically in the podcast.
  3. Communicate the expectations clearly and candidly. We don't want to be guilty of the old "bait and switch". We want people to get involved with their eyes wide open.
  4. Make the ask. Sometimes you just have to pull the trigger! Bill Hybels calls it making the big ask. If you are reluctant to make the ask, commit to moving forward in spite of your fears, and you will find asking not nearly as hard as you thought. And, more importantly, in most cases, people are just waiting to be asked!
  5. Follow up in a timely manner. Expect people to need time to talk to a spouse or God before they give you an answer to your invitation for them to accept a significant ministry role in the church. Give them the time, but be sure to follow up. If you don't, people will think it wasn't important or significant after all, and they will just forget it. They are also waiting to be followed up on! 
This is the kind of material in Dan's book that is clear, helpful, and encouraging. His book will help you as you lead the people in your 200church. 
We hope that this podcast will do the same!
