tulip Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 6 months of ministering lessons is overkill. I will definitely skip out on some of these. Link to comment
Storm Rider Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 It was very easy to attend RS/P meetings and listen to a lesson. It was not personal, no effort to create an action plan (I hate that terminology), and I did not have to do anything. I either taught, listened, or let my mind wander. This new approach is more challenging from both the perspective of leadership and the individual members. It is a challenge for leaders because the term minister is not new and we should not use it as a replacement for previous programs - yes, we call it something new, but it is the same game we played before - it must be a rejuvenation process for each member. Fundamentally, the objective is for each member to engage in becoming a more committed disciple of Jesus Christ. That is the challenge for the membership. Do I really want to become a more committed disciple of the Savior? Do I really want to engage with "action plans" - something else to do to fill up my daily schedule? I am excited about the possibilities of this new direction we are taking. Link to comment
