A Transformational Field Trip
A while back I (Jeanne) read the fabulous book INFLUCENCER with the Buckhead Leadership Team. The author thoughtfully proves that when it comes to influence that the two primary questions that everyone asks before any kind of significant change / transformation is…
IS IT WORTH & CAN I DO IT?
And they need a story, many stories saying - it is possible! That’s what Soul City Church is trying to do when it comes to Cultural Influence – Be a community that tells the story that Transformation is possible with Jesus!
A cheap tool that most of us use to change others expectations is the use of verbal persuasion because it is convenient. Talk is easy. Talk is cheap. But stories of transformation provoke. They create a vivid picture that TRANSFORMATION IS WORTH IT & IT CAN BE DONE!
Those are some of the most profound and simple lessons that I am learning as a leader right now – I can talk about influence, cast vision, I can fund raise, and I can create systems and structures – but does my life tell a compelling story of authentic dependence and a life of transformation. That’s where I believe my greatest influence comes from.
We long for Soul City Church to constantly be telling stories of Transformation. We pray that every time someone encounters our community its as if they are on a Field Trip of Transformation.
