Disciple-Making: Getting out of the way...

​

Monday: Read Numbers 27:12-23

Transitions require intentionality and a heart that values the future of the community over personal pride. Who is currently "watching" you lead, work, or live? How can you begin preparing them to step into greater responsibility?

 

Tuesday: Read 2 Kings 2:1-15

Elisha stays glued to Elijah’s side, refusing to leave him, and boldly asks for a "double portion" of his spirit. How are you actively seeking out wisdom from those who have gone before you?

 

Wednesday: Read 1 Chronicles 22:1–19

Sometimes your role isn't to finish the project, but to gather the materials for the person who will. What "materials" (wisdom, resources, networks, or skills) can you start gathering right now to make the next generation's job easier?

 

Thursday: Read 2 Timothy 2:1–7 & 2 Timothy 4:6–8

Paul compares the Christian faith to a relay race. If you look at your life as a relay race, are you currently holding the baton tightly, or are you actively reaching back to pass it?

 

Friday: Read Ephesians 4:11–16

The goal of a mature leader is to work themselves out of a job by building up the maturity and capability of others. What is one practical step you can take this week to move from "doer" to "equipper"?

 

Saturday: Read John 14:12–18 & John 16:5–7

Jesus told his disciples that it was actually better for him to leave so that the Holy Spirit could come, promising that they would do "greater things" than He did. Do you genuinely want the people behind you to do "greater things" than you have done? How can you check your ego to ensure you are championing their success rather than fearing their shadow?
