When it comes to ministry and trying new things I go all in. Our team goes all in. The motto the Josh Griffin deems when it comes to trying something we never have done before is, “The best idea wins. If it worked last year it doesn’t mean we NEED to do it again. If there is something better let’s do it.” Let’s be creative. Let God move. Plan something that would not work unless God came through. Failure is something that will always be probable I guess. But…
IN THE EYES OF GOD THERE ARE NO FAILURES, BUT FORCED GROWTH.
What we are so worried about? Failing. We don’t want to fail, it makes us look bad. No one wants to fail. There is no failure, only forced growth. That’s encouraging. Every time we fail to do something, it helps us grow in some way, shape or form. Failure forces us to grow, helps us learn from our mistakes. We can take this idea in our faith journey and in our ministry.
Are we ever going to stop messing up and failing? Nope, sorry. We are human and that is what we happen to do. It is what we do AFTER we fail which will define us. If we just give up, we fail. If we don’t, it was just an experiment and research on the right way of doing it.
James 1:2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
