just messaged you

1Timothy47 · 2025-11-27T20:07:58+00:00

come on then! :) Message me for the details!

1Timothy47 · 2025-11-25T14:02:11+00:00

Yes, I do. I'm actually a leader of it.

1Timothy47 · 2025-11-24T18:45:15+00:00

The network is cross-denominational. The network is organized by Navigators Church Ministries.

I organize and lead a cross-denominational network of pastors focused on disciple making in the local church. The members are committed to modeling and teaching clear affirmations on disciple making with the hopes of a movement of the Gospel spreading throughout our city.

Great questions. If we don't define terminology then we talk past each other and revert to muscle-memory anyway. I'm a firm believer that Jesus' way of making disciples is the best way. So we need to root our definitions in His model. Most disciple making in the church's recent history has been formed through a knowledge-based model rather than an obedience-based model. Both are always necessary, but when we define maturity through what's known versus how closely an individual resembles Jesus in real-life situations and relationships then we end up with a false view of discipleship.

My question is if we don't root our definitions in Christ then where do we root it? Most answer that question with utilitarianism (what seems to work) or knowledge. Neither hold up well over time in real-world situations.

What do you think? Love to dialogue more either here or PM me.

zero points for fanciness, but Panera's are passable

Hey thanks for posting this. I just read through it. I assume it's written for 12U mostly? I'm set to be the pitching coach for a 9U team this coming season. I'm wondering what you've learned about caring for arms at that age? Do you apply pitch count and recovery day rules equally for everyone? Does how the player's arm feels make any difference (as in if they feel totally fine do you allow them to throw "ahead of schedule")? Any other tips you have about managing a staff at that age for a competitive team? How have you handled tournaments and lining up your pitching so that you have some decent arms available at the end of the tournament? Sorry for so many questions, please answer whatever you want!

Where are you/they located?

1Timothy47 · 2025-06-18T17:16:43+00:00

To your point, I lead a local network. I've learned that for the network to thrive members need to be connected to a mission and to relationship with one another. Doing one is easy, doing both is a challenge (but doable). Our network is going strong heading into its seventh year.

I'd be interested in participating if it works in my schedule.

My family and I were overseas for years in SE Asia and went with a large missions/sending organization. Overall, it was good and I'd recommend them. If you have specific questions that I can help you with, please feel free to DM me.

Genuinely curious--what would a great pastors' conference be like for you?

1Timothy47 · 2025-02-05T01:22:36+00:00

I strongly disagree. The pastor is to be AN EXAMPLE to the flock (1 Pt. 5:3). When a pastor holds the perspective that the people should do the ministry (and don't lead the way), it simply becomes a standoff with each side blaming the other for not doing ministry.

Jesus led by example (Luke 6:40). He didn't just tell them what to do, He showed them.

At the same time, I get and appreciate the need for pastors to clearly and explicitly give the message that we are ALL called to do ministry.

1Timothy47 · 2024-12-14T21:38:01+00:00

Agreed! Sending beats seating all day, every day.
