<p>The coaching network program will expose you to a new perspective.  While it makes sense to many that in order to get different results you need to do different things…it’s not always clear what those <em>different things</em> might be.  The coaching network program is designed around the idea that different, not better, leads to the kind of strategy that connects beyond the usual suspects.</p>
<p>I still have a couple openings in my next group.  You can find out all about it <a href="http://www.markhowelllive.com/small-group-ministry-coaching-network/" target="_blank">right here</a>.  I&#8217;m hoping you&#8217;ll come along!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p class="first-child "><span title="W" class="cap"><span>W</span></span>hen you think about your discipleship strategy or your connection strategy&#8230;how is it working?  Have you ever slowed down long enough to really examine your results?  To see if what you are trying to do is really happening?</p>
<p>On the wall in my office you&#8217;ll find a quote that is constantly on my mind as I work with churches to help them debug their thinking.  Here&#8217;s what it says:</p>
<h2 style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8220;</em><em>Your ministry is perfectly designed to produce the results you are currently experiencing.&#8221;</em> Andy Stanley</h2>
<p>When I&#8217;m talking with a church about the way things are working, I like to point out that the reality is that their design is producing the results they&#8217;re currently getting.  &#8220;Like what&#8217;s happening?  Keep doing it.  Don&#8217;t like it?  You&#8217;ll need to change the design!&#8221;  And for many churches that is what needs to happen&#8230;but getting started just never seems to happen.</p>
<p>Maybe that&#8217;s your church!  Maybe that&#8217;s your ministry.  You may be able to work through this process all on your own.  But maybe what you need is an outsider who can guide you and your team through a process of discovery.</p>
<p><strong>3 Next Steps to Consider:</strong></p>
