What is the competence that counts most for a preacher or worship leader? Biblical knowledge? Communication creativity and clarity? Devotional depth? Relational giftedness? Persuasive communication of the gospel (evangelism)? Team leadership? Musical depth? Budget management? Time management? Team building skills?
None of us has the whole mix. What do you do to “staff to your shadow side?” Here’s my weakest link: financial accuracy. I live in a world of financial generalities, “abouts”. That doesn’t cut it when the leadership needs to know fund balances and percentage increases. So I’m looking for others with high competency to stand along side me to complement a competence. How do you do that?
