I had a conversation with some new friends the other night and one of them used a phrase that did a wonderful job of communicating one of my personal values:
We try to get behind people, as opposed to getting behind projects.
The temptation is to make a plan and then look for people to fill the slots...
But what if the plan is to get behind people?
What if people are the project? (Don't read that in a cynical way!)
What if the very 'task' we are trying to accomplish is encouraging people to step into the destiny that God has for them, to become the unique reflection of God that only they can be? (The biblical term for this would be 'making disciples.')
