Ok, what is the game plan fellahs? And you are right Coach about church leaders, but we are not going to get anywhere without leaders. Most people are followers not leaders. I agree with the lack of leadership in the institutional church but we still need leaders for the sheep AND we must have a vision. Let’s put together a game plan. Getting the troops fired up is great but without a game plan we are doomed to defeat. We need the full council, so how about it Steve, Coach?
On the Objective
Hello Hawk, Steven Menking here! I tried posting this yesterday but it didn’t/hasn’t shown up. It could be that the comment needs to be approved depending on how these are moderated, in which case this may be a mostly duplicate list! We need leadership and action, and it begins with us taking personal responsibility for who we are in Christ. Here are steps I’m doing my best to walk out that I believe could be applied more broadly:
0. Repentance and seeking the Lord for guidance, deliverance, and the leading of the Holy Spirit
1. Daily Bible reading schedule (I can send my spreadsheet or create a new one)
2. Develop prayer discipline (waking up, meals, going to sleep for starters)
3. Train physically to the extent possible (cardio and light weights)
4. Maintain proper diet and nutrition (I take supplements from Healthmasters)
5. Develop leadership and discipline in your home (spiritual leadership starts with your immediate domain)
6. Develop the gifts and skills the Lord has given you (everyone’s calling is unique)
7. Find like-minded believers in your area (use media platforms to connect)
8. Contribute to ministry efforts that are advancing the Kingdom (financial, time, or even sharing on social media)
9. Organize your trusted group to make a difference locally (can’t despise humble beginnings)
10. Give all the glory to God and all worship to Jesus Christ our Savior!

amen Steve, be faithful in little things and the Lord will lead us into greater exploits!
