Or find someone with an interest in people management or volunteer services in your church and go through the books and videos together. Preach on the topic of spiritual gifts to your congregation. Avoid the humdrum approach. We've heard from several pastors that many congregations are burned out on spiritual gifts. Typically, gift discovery has not been followed up with a system to guide the enthusiasm generated from a seminar.
Connections is all about implementation.
Challenge your leadership. Raise the standard, draw a line, and put your church board and elders to the test. Share your vision and invite them to experience Connections . If the leadership is not on board, Connections will continue to sit on the shelf. Pull together a team.
