Whenever those who usually do all the teaching, talking, leading, etc. actually get out of the way and allow everyone else in the Body of Christ to use their individual giftings to edify and strengthen the Church.

Couldn't the Holy Spirit just teach others how to be teachers? I guess I am just failing to see how your advise is being played (or I guess lived) out.<br /><br />Thanks for your patience and any clarification.<br /><br />- RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-36849839237654567712012-03-10T17:49:51.034-08:002012-03-10T17:49:51.034-08:00Well, at the conference we will share practical wa...Well, at the conference we will share practical ways to empower others, and that's not the same as "doing nothing" but is about teaching others to be teachers, or making disciples who make disciples, as Jesus did.Keith Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328300571647154699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-34358652565366515712012-03-10T16:58:17.122-08:002012-03-10T16:58:17.122-08:00According to your advice on raising leaders, would...According to your advice on raising leaders, wouldn't going to a conference being doing something and therefor counterproductive?<br /><br />- RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
