4Discipleship Ministries      

1. It begins with the conviction that who we are called to become was written into our God-given core from our earliest, most formative years.

2. At that core, many call “soul,” are particular strengths that God entrusts to us for both the healing of the world and for the joy of becoming “fully alive human beings.”

3. These core strengths aren’t skills or  aptitudes, but rather are the ways we are hardwired for our very best thinking,  relating, achieving and leading.

4. Understanding a person’s very individual strengths  increases a leader’s ability to engage that person in meaningful avenues for spiritual growth and passionate service. 

5. This approach says goodbye to filling slots and refocuses  attention on how God is calling the  individual and the community to use the strengths God  puts into our hands. 

6. It can help liberate laity and staff alike from unhealthy expectations and reaffirm the interdependence of all who call themselves followers of  Christ.

In addition to the work Kathleen does with congregations, ministry teams, and spiritual leaders, she also is available as her schedule permits to offer team building workshops and staff/team analysis services to non-profits, their boards and other small businesses or work teams.
