Assessing EHS in Your Church (and Yourself)

This brief assessment was developed in our certification of EHS consultants as they begin to work with churches. Take a few minutes to fill it out by yourself or with your leadership. On scale of 5 (to a very great extent) to 1 (not at all), how would you rate your church on the following: Those around me would say we are not hurrie­­d or rushed.   1 2 3 4 5 We don’t avoid having difficult conversations. 1 2 3 4 5 We are rarely accused, as leaders, of “trying to do it all” and biting off more than we could chew.  1 2 3 4 5 We know when to carry someone else’s burden and when to let it go so they can carry it themselves.    1 2 3 4 5 We take time to grieve our losses and explore how God is seeking to work in us through them. 1.

Take a few minutes to meditate on this lovely poem by William Stafford (1914–1993). It lays out the indispensable foundation for both the Christian life and great leadership. The Way It Is There’s a thread you follow. It goes amongthings that change. But it doesn’t change.People wonder about what you are pursuing.You have to explain about the thread.But it is hard for others to see.While you hold it you can’t get lost.Tragedies happen; people get hurtor die; and you suffer and get old.Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding.You don’t ever let go of the thread.

My Five Most Important Lessons – Leighton Ford

Leighton Ford has been one of my primary mentors for the last 32 years. He has walked with Christ for 80! Yes, 80 years.  I asked him over lunch recently his most important life lessons. Here they are: 1. Start with what you have been given (i.e. your raw material, what is in you through blood, your family/cultural history). 2. Listen to the voice most true to your heart (i.e. following the invisible thread of God in your life). 3. Be willing to listen to other voices too (e.g. secular novelists, new Christians as they talk about faith, theologians who differ from you). 4. Learn to be thankful for what seems thankless (e.g. pain, loss, betrayal, failure). You will become more than what you would have been otherwise. 5. Open your life to contemplate beauty and cultivate wonder.

What is EHS?

EHS is about helping people develop a deep personal transformative relationship with Jesus Christ out of which they serve the world. EHS is a solution to the problem of shallow Christianity and people not changing. EHS recovers biblical truths overlooked in Western culture (e.g. the gift of limits, loss and grief, brokenness and vulnerability). EHS enables leaders to serve both long-term and joyfully out of a deep interior life with Christ.We as leaders cannot give what we do not possess. EHS seeks to equip leaders to serve out a cup that overflows with the love of God. EHS is a long-term, missional spirituality. Our aim is to connect people deeply to Jesus, themselves, and each other in order to accomplish the churches’ vision for the world. EHS is about teaching people to love well in order to build healthy church communities. We teach people to connect in healthy, authentic ways, breaking unhealthy family of origin and cultural.
