Today we talked about the four different leadership styles, namely, Doer, Thinker, Relater, and Mover. Doers want to get the job done, thinkers want to generate ideas and solutions, relaters want to get along, and movers want to win. We were first asked to take a ten question quiz to determine our style, of which I scored four Doer, three each Thinker and Mover. Before the quiz, I thought I was a thinker.
So then we have this large list of experiences that relate to the various styles, and when I checked them all in, that is, the ones that I have liked the best in the past. This yielded nine for Thinker, four for Mover, and three each for Doer and Relater. This in my opinion is more accurate for me. The purpose of our blog today is to explain one of the listed experiences that we have particularly enjoyed and explain how it was successful.
As to what I shall write about, whether studying or preaching, it is hard to decide. I thrive on studying and do it far more often than the latter, but truly preaching is the most enjoyable task under the sun for me to do. To explain the truth of God’s Word to a group of people, to share what my studying has revealed about the character of our God, this is where I thrive. The most recent occasion of this was at youth group a week ago, when I shared my testimony with both Jr. and Sr. High. I began my testimony with Leviticus 19:27, then prayed, then began with my upbringing and ended with an excited praise of God’s abundant grace in Jesus Christ. Of course, I have no idea how effective it was, but I know that God’s word does not return to Him void, so I trust that my faithful preaching of His Law and Gospel changes the hearers’ hearts, in His power, His way, and His timing.
