Spiritual Capital Session 4 – Teaching
11/19/15 • 60 min
Growing and sharing Spiritual Capital starts with hearing God speak. But it also means taking what we have heard and putting it into practice. And part of putting it into practice means learning from others. One of the ways we talk about learning from others is a process known as discipleship. Dallas Willard describes discipleship as “the process of becoming who Jesus would be if He were you.” That’s why this week we moved our conversation on Spiritual Capital from hearing the Words of Jesus to practicing the Ways of Jesus. Practicing the ways of Jesus means more than just gaining more information about Jesus. Instead it means combining information with a pathway of imitation and innovation. By beginning to cultivate an atmosphere of faith, hope and love we start discipleship where we are at and not where we want to be. The same goes when we start to disciple others. In imitating others, we learn the ways of Jesus by seeing these ways in the lives of those we learn from. But while imitation is a worthwhile pathway it is never our goal. It is through imitation that we learn to innovate and by innovating we become not the generic version of someone else but our true selves. That’s why we must give ourselves not simply to teaching but also to training and tactics. This week Dave challenged our ordinary view of what it means to think about church by asking us to be the church, not simply go to church—by being a disciple and discipling others.

Relational Capital Session 1 – Teaching
This week we began our exploration of relational capital, by looking through the book of Acts at the story of Paul. We discovered the way Paul grew in influence and impact with his life as he learned to create a team that functioned as a family. The progress of Paul’s life could be described as follows: Man with the wrong mission to a man with the right mission but who is broken living in a cave to a man on a team, to a man leading a team, to a man leading a team—where half the team deserts him, to a man leading a team that splits to a man leading a team that can get breakthrough but the breakthrough leaves when he does, to a man who’s team can get breakthrough even without him present.
