Room Full of Leaders

Last night our house was invaded by twice as many people as we expected for our Turbo Group.  Basically, it’s a room full of people who are passionate about God and people and want to be better at leading our Life Groups.  We talked about the need for community, the obstacles of having it, the 5 key disciplines that have to happen in a Life Group for community to happen.

It was a humbling start to the process of creating a culture that reproduces fully-devoted followers of Jesus.  At church that morning, we took the sign up list which only had 12 names on it and started adding up who told us they were coming.  It topped out at 31.  Amy asked me – how in the world are we going to get 31 people in our house?  In the same room?

“I have no idea.  I’ve never had 31 people want to show up for something like this.  Are these people normal?”

No, they’re not normal and that’s exactly the way we like it.
