Execution

As a leader over a Recreation Ministry it is my desire to see that we are "executing" our daily tasks in order to achieve our mission of "combining sports and leisure with the companionship of Christ." Franklin Covey has a great tool for execution entitled, The Four Essentials of Execution. The disciplines are: Focus on the Wildly Important, Act on the Lead Measures, Keep a Compelling Scoreboard, and Create a Cadence of Accountability. Working through each of these points, along with team members, will enable us to see how we are doing in combining sports and ministry. As a Recreation Minister, it is also my job to communicate with those working (Upward Directors, Volunteers, Fitness Classes, Adult League Directors) our mission statement. And, it is my job to teach them to execute in their specific area so that we do the best job possible of reaching our community for Christ through recreation.

As followers of Christ we have been communicated with through the writing of the Bible. In this book, we have been given a plan of execution for our lives. It is a source for which we can read and grow in, only if we execute! Often times we read and walk away without providing ourselves a means in which we will execute in our lives what we gained from reading. As a result / overflow of reading, we should be propelled into execution. Take time to Read, Report, and Reflect on what God is saying to you in His word. Through this process you will become disciplined in the area of spiritual "execution."

  1. Did an interesting exercise for CBS in which we listed the people who God calls on us to encourage on a regular basis. By listing them out, and the ways in which we provide encouragement. It reinforced for us just who those people are and how God calls us to specifically provide encouragement. It was an excellent reminder. Your article reminded me of that.
