8) A Penny For Your Thoughts About This Patrick Lenzione Book Please?
Yesterday, one of my co-workers (and closest friends) was sharing with me about Patrick Lenzione’s book, The Three Signs of a Miserable Job. Lenzione says those signs are Anonymity, Irrelevance, and Immeasurement. In other words, “I don’t feel connected,” “I don’t know that my job makes a difference,” and “I don’t seem to have much influence over job success.” Yikes. Sounds like a sad life, right? But wow – how can we help missionaries escape those feelings? Specifically, how does your organization or church help people connect to the significance of your purposes? And how do you make that a part of our regular rhythms? Assuming they’re well-connected, how do we help people genuinely *feel* that connection?

The Bible passage being studied in the core of the group was Luke 15 – “The Parable of the Prodigal Son (otherwise known as “The Parable of the Waiting Father”). One of the newer guys in the study (we’ll call him Jack – not his real name) was listening intently to the whole discussion about the son who ran away and then came home. Now… read more…
