My ongoing
quest to help people not suck at their jobs
THE PROBLEM:
I
want to create a repository of practical tools and biblical
insights concerning the spiritual life of a congregation.
OTHER PROPOSED
SOLUTIONS:
I
have to find a model that allows for the hybridization
of what we do as pastors.
The
purpose of a model is to help others make sense of
a huge amount of information. In order to do this, you
have to have a framework for them to see inside your
head. I’m currently working with 4 major categories:
leadership, spirituality, communication, and
engagement. But each category has crossover points.
The
orrery model for pastoral leadership was a total bust.
Too complex. Only I could make sense of it. It
was pretty, but dumb.
After
an orrery, I tried a 4-way Venn diagram. This
also proved to be far too complex for anyone to view and immediately understand.
