Another great point that came from the conference on Saturday was on planning a meeting. Russ was able to share from his experience on the importance of planning on what you want to accomplish in each meeting. He broke it down to four categories:
Head: What do I want my group to know?
Heart: What do I want my group to feel?
Hands: What do I want my group to do?
Homework: What do I want my group to plan?
In thinking about these four targets, I really took a hard look at how I lead. I think most of the leaders at First Baptist Weston are the same: we do a great job on informing people about what they should know. We are content based and hit the know part well.
Personally, I get the heart stuff many times in my Sunday morning group, but I don't do as well with my men's group. Connecting the head and the heart are essential to transformation.
I was able to put these into practice on Sunday. I was able to take a passage that was about someone else doing evangelism and give us a homework assignment for the week. This assignment has caused me to reflect on this passage several times over the last 3 days.
