Busting Barriers with Mind Shift Changes

BUSTING BARRIERS WITH MIND SHIFT CHANGES
notes from Dave Ferguson on Craig Groeschel

Think differently about your church culture.

• Don’t say, “Our people won’t ___________” (insert problem). Instead you should say, “We have not led our people to ____________” (insert problem).

Think differently about the mission.

• Are you about the mission or are you about guarding people’s feelings?

Think differently about people leaving the church.

• The normal mindset is “we can’t let anyone leave.”

Think differently about limitations.

• Most of the time we say, “we can’t because we don’t have _______.” Great leaders see opportunities where others see limitations.

3 ASSIGNMENTS FOR MAKING A MIND SHIFT CHANGE

1. Find someone one or two steps ahead of you and learn how they think.
2. Identify one wrong mindset and ask God to renew your mind with truth.
3. Identify one painful decision you’ve been avoiding and commit to making the right decision immediately.
