The Best Learning Questions for Ministers
From time to time, fellow ministers or church staff teams will ask to spend a day at our church, visiting with our staff. Most often these people want to get another perspective of church and leadership. Occasionally, our staff will go to their churches and do the same. In most cases, both groups benefit. But in order to benefit, you have to be willing to ask questions.
Just this week, we had a visiting minister who joined us in our senior leadership team meeting and then met one-on-one with several individuals on our staff. I was one of those individuals. Although he had a set of questions he wanted to hear responses on, I also asked questions of my own. He had experiences and information I could learn from, and by the end of the meeting, we were exchanging ideas, information, and resources that will make us and our churches better.
