Accessing the Force-Multiplier of Community
Nov 02, 2021You were never supposed to go it alone. Better yet, I am WITNESSING a measure of results in businesses that I am working with that I can ONLY attribute to "this must be God." Actually, it's legit because I read about it in Psalm 133 and Matthew 18. Check this out...
Behold, how GOOD and how PLEASANT [it is]
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
...
For there the LORD COMMANDED THE BLESSING - Life forevermore.
Psalm 133:1, 3
I also tell you this:
If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.
Matthew 18:19
A force multiplier is a military term that refers to a factor or combination of factors that, when used together gives a significant increase in combat potential. Think army vs. army plus navy vs. army plus navy plus airforce. It's not 1 + 1; it literally multiplies that power and impact... 1 + 1 = 1,000!
You can access this yourself and this episode unpacks how as I interview a panel of four businessmen in one group and what they are experiencing.
1. What is it that I'm seeing in authentic community? What are the BENEFITS?
- Check out the testimonies... wisdom, power, connections, perspective, encouragement, comfort
- Growth in business profitability, growth as a husband and father, as a person...
2. What are the barriers to building authentic community?
– Commitment - performance-based-identity - willingness to be vulnerable
- Fear – Pride – Lies – Ignorance
3. What baseline criteria do you look for in WHO to build community with?
– Authenticity, love me enough to tell truth, wisdom (body scars and wrinkles), excellent at what is good, innocent of evil, evidence of God-walk, commitment to DO THIS.
