Have you had an experience recently that clarified your strengths?
I concluded an insightful conversation with a pastor about what it looks like to live out your specific role within God's kingdom.
He walked through an intensive training with a spiritual formation director and found that he had two "streams" where he thrived in ministry.
As I thought through the experiences that revealed my gifts, passions, and strengths, I identified one major "stream."
A few questions for consideration/feedback:
- How many "streams" do you have where you are truly thriving in ministry?
- What is the maximum number of streams you think a person can have? (I ask this because often times people in ministry I talk to share that they have a variety of strengths, and subtlety I doubt that anyone has more than two)
- Approximately what percentage of time/energy do you invest developing your strengths (I ask this because those in full-time ministry seem to spend less than 10% in general).
