Intense week this week. The official name is called Father Heart of God, but that's just the general theme. It took an entire week of lectures to unpack a little bit about what that means, so I'm not going to try to do so here.
What I will let you know is that I had some cool times. I was managing the comings and going of this week making sure everyone knew what was happening from day to day, arranging for this to happen and that to happen. Sorry, I should say I was responsible for making sure someone was doing that stuff, I didn't have to do it all myself, nor did I do it alone.
Amongst all of the organizing the content of the lectures was really speaking to my heart. So not only was I being emotionally, spiritually and intellectually stirred up, but I also had to be able to coordinate people and help others to process themselves. Fun, well challenging is more accurate but I do enjoy a good challenge.
So, Matt, you got a lot out of this past week personally? Aren't you in Davos to help equip others?
Yes, and yes. And here's where my being open and broken in front of those I am leading has been a blessing. One of the first feed back and pieces of encouragement that came to me from a student of the current DTS has been thanking me for being a leader who is willing to be open and broken. Often leaders are viewed as people who have things together, well I don't. I have some experiences that help me, but I don't have it all together and apparently living that out is helping me to lead. Never would have thought of that on my own.
Well, I've written a short story about my experiences this week and posted each chapter. Enjoy...
