Leaders, pray for your team. Each day, set some time aside to hold them up before God Pray for their families – that they would thrive. Pray for their work relationships – that rivalries would die and unity grow. Pray for their personal struggles [everyone has them] – that they might be made whole. And, most of all, pray for their relationship with God.
BTW, prayer requests from your team are a big deal. Don’t blow them off. Many of us know certain people whose every minor inconvenience becomes a prayer request. But most adults are wary of trusting others too deeply – it’s a good bet that an individual is actually hurting, scared or in need if they are willing to share, particularly introverts. Take it seriously – and take it before God.
Hmmm - well, let's see...
I'm a Christian, a husband, a dad, a son, a pastor, a consultant, a musician, a writer, and bits and pieces of a bunch of other things. My work life has followed three main phases - business to teaching to church. I was the Weekend Services Pastor for nine years at Northview Church, an awesome church in the Indianapolis suburbs. I used to work for Willow Creek, another awesome church in the Chicago area. Plus I've written for various magazines and websites, and other freelancy sorts of things... My life mission is to help the church be as excellent as it can be.
Oh yeah - the name's Greg. Greg Wallace. But not the race car driver or the major league pitcher or the British celebrity chef. Just the creative worship guy. Hi.
It's my hope that these ideas, musings, rants, raves, etc... will inspire you. They're just my opinions - but again, I hope that they'll help to inspire you. Because the church really, really needs inspired creative types. If you're a creative type (and most people are, deep-down), ask God for help. Then take any ideas that are useful to you - borrow them, nab them, use them, adapt them - and make them into something greater...
