I usually get the question… “Where did you learn how to do that?” Here are a few examples…

• Pro Presenter
• Adobe Photoshop
• Adobe Premier Pro
• Adobe Lightroom
• WordPress CSS
• How to raise chickens…

You get the idea. Sure, someone led me to the stream, but I had to learn how to drink on my own. When it comes to any kind of foreign territory that would advance my knowledge or add skills to my tool belt, I am intrigued to learn. I love learning new things! Having a smorgasbord knowledge of “how to’s” is critical in so many situations, not just in ministry but life too. Here are some of my more unusual learnings in life and things that I have become a student in…

• Yes, raising chickens.
• Being a chimney sweep.
• Juggling sticks.
• Playing the tuba.
• The Weber Grill.

Find something that intrigues you and take it to the next level. Read a book on the subject, watch a video online or ask an expert in that field. The rest is up to you.

What’s one area in your ministry that you need to become a student?

1. Visitor follow up?
2. Games?
3. Recruiting?
