I read this article over a week ago and keep going back to it. Everyone needs a good gut check every now and again. Consider this yours.
4 Ministry Evaluation Areas for Leaders
Jim Wideman recently wrote a blog series highlighting four areas that ministry leaders should regularly evaluate. Here’s a summary:
- Your Attitude
Do I have the heart of a servant?
Am I an asset or a liability to my pastor?
What is my attitude about others around me?
Am I grumbling and complaining? - Your Priorities
It’s one thing to know your priorities, it’s another thing all together to live according to those priorities. - Your Time Management
How am I spending my time?
Am I spending time daily with the Lord?
Is my family suffering while my ministry is flourishing?
Am I making time for personal growth and development? - Your Performance
Am I being a team builder or a one person show?
What am I doing that someone else can do?
Have I communicated clearly to all my workers what they are to do?
Can I be relied on to complete assignments and keep commitments?
