Episode Notes

Thoughts from Andrae:

  • Question: When was the last time you saw your team outside of the weekend services?
  • When people serve FOR you, you don't connect
  • When people serve ALONGSIDE you, they get to know you and become owners
  • Start with something –> Your thing –> Our thing –> My thing –> Find someone to do this with
  • If you have your head down, you'll miss something
  • Moments to connect outside the church
    • Crisis, Care, Community
  • 5 things you get to know outside the church
    • Face, Facts, Feelings, Fears, Faith
  • 4 buckets to put people in
    • One-on-ones
    • Discipleship
    • Leadership
    • Groups
