I'm not a plumber. But whenever I have a plumbing issue, I convince myself I can do it. I end up with more leaks, more water, wrong connectors, and a zillion trips back and forth to the hardware store. When finished, I always vow that next time, I'll hire a plumber.
One of my Bible college instructors often said, "People walk in the light they know." In other words, we don't know what we don't know. I think worse than not knowing something is living in denial. We can act like we know even though we don't. Nobody wants to admit to ignorance because it sounds like a fault. If we're honest, none of us wants the stigma of being a know-it-all either. Being open and honest about the things we don't know sets us up for real growth. Instead of trying to act like I'm a plumber, I should just hire a plumber. Sometimes, you can figure things out on your own. But when you need significant change, you should consider hiring an expert.

We'd like to help your church improve your communications workflow...
Communication is the foundation of all relationships. Churches are not exempt from tensions in the workplace created by miscommunication, poor communication, and/or a lack of communication. Healthy communication makes outsiders insiders. ChurchCom Solutions has a wide range of experience and expertise in all areas of the church when it comes to improving communication processes. We'd love the opportunity to help your church do ministry better by helping you communicate better. We may receive commissions when you click on third-party links and make purchases. However, this does not impact our reviews and comparisons. We try our best to keep things fair and balanced in order to help you make the best recommendations for you. |
