God has something unique for each of us to contribute to his Kingdom. By paying attention to what we are passionate about and what moves us, we gain important clues as to where God might want us to focus our efforts. When you sense God guiding you toward a particular area of ministry, begin thinking about ways you can help or contribute. No one can do everything; but everyone can do something. What is that something you can do? Once you’re actively involved in ministering somewhere, continue to learn and grow and branch out. Stretch yourself to try new things and learn new skills. Who knows where God may want to lead you from here. Stay open to the Spirit and keep growing.

Loving God is the bedrock of all of the rest of our faith — it’s the reason we’re on this journey to begin with. In a sense, every other step in our faith journey comes from here and returns to here. All of what we do as followers of Jesus stems from our relationship with God. A relationship is by definition a two-way street: we talk and we listen. We give and we receive. We are changed by the interaction. Loving God can involve any activity through which we engage with him: worship, prayer, meditation on scripture, listening to the Holy Spirit and responding to him, and being changed as a result of our relationship with him.

If you actually want to get where you’re going, you need a map to help you navigate. Only a map can give you an indication of whether you’re getting closer to or further away from your goal. Without one, all of us are left wandering in circles.

We have another free resource available on the Logan Leadership website: the Map of Discipleship. This is a tool you can use as you disciple people. Nine different categories– along with bullet point descriptors– are listed on the map:

This entry is part of a week-long series on powerful coaching questions.

Sometimes in coaching we can spend a great deal of time identifying the key issues, brainstorming potential solutions, and crafting a plan for change. But all of this comes to nothing if we don’t conclude with one simple question: What’s next?

This question moves us away from the often overwhelming bird’s eye view of a complex issue and helps us zero in on the one next step we need to take.  Only with questions like “What’s next?” can we continue forward motion toward our goal.
