Tuesday: Great prayer meeting with the elders 📈

It’s measured by showing up again the next day.

Where did I see God at work this week?
Where did I try to work ahead of Him?
What do I need to entrust to Him before Sunday?

Which question is hardest for you to answer?

Every pastor needs people who can tell the truth about what they see.

Who has permission to challenge you when you're making a poor leadership decision?

If no one comes to mind, that may be a conversation worth having.

“Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” — Psalm 127:1 (ESV)

What part of your ministry are you most tempted to build in your own strength?

Not every ministry problem needs a new program.

Sometimes it needs a clearer conversation, a healthier boundary, a better leader, or the courage to stop something that isn't working.

What ministry problem are you tempted to solve by adding something instead of addressing the real issue?
