Getting the Focus

"Until you get your focus OFF of the people who are disgruntled, unhappy, unsupportive, and resistant to the direction God has called you to go, and ONTO those who are excited, supportive and on board, you will NEVER gain momentum and see a new culture created in your church."


Do you agree? The issue is discussed on the neoleader blog. Scott Hodge says this approach freed them to minister to the people who really wanted to move forward. John Sweetman, on the other hand, says he's glad not everyone takes this approach.

Is there a place for continuing to care for the disgruntled, unsupportive and resistant?

Check out what was said on both sides here.

Interestingly enough, Scott doesn't necessarily seem to be saying only this when you read his blog, where one of the current posts is entitled: Avoiding extreme categorizations.
