life walking

Here is the application.

12 pages. Long, isn't it? It ought to be. If a LIFE Group leader is the front-line pastor, we better make sure there is a gifting and calling to do it.

Who can fill it out?
The short answer is anybody. I think the longer answer is better. As Coaches and LIFE Group leaders, we ought to constantly be looking for the next generation of leaders. Is she teachable? Is she responsive? Is she available?

Then ask them to take the leap. Find them and then take them on the journey.

I want to be an Intern but I'm not in a LIFE Group.
My question back is this - how can you learn to lead something you are not involved in? We (Grace) value community and authenticness. We are not going to elevate anybody that doesn't also have those values as part of their DNA.

So get involved in a LIFE Group and start lifewalking. Then let's talk.

Interview

After the application, the applicant, the LIFE Group leader that the Intern is going to serve with, the Coach and me will have a 'sit down.' Since we value community and authenticness, we want to make sure we start off the process well and everybody understands the process and the point.

We will ask questions of each other. We will spell out the expectations. We will be honest about the potential blindspots and obstacles that exist as well as incredible opportunities and giftedness that we see.
