Episode 19: Becoming the Guide, Not the Hero

Ministry Leaders Anonymous

This week, Chris & Matt talk about the StoryBrand Process by Donald Miller and how it can be used in your ministry. We know that sometimes we believe that our ministry or our job is to save those we serve. But no one sees themselves as the victim in their story; they see themselves as the hero! And our job, as ministry leaders is to act as a guide, not a savior, because they already have a savior, and He's pretty good at what He does. Thanks to ALOB for letting us use his song, Strong God, from the album No Match for Love!
