Mindset Shifts in Spent Matches
I’ve really enjoyed my conversations with C Anderson about the mindset shifts needed to pursue movement. As I was finishing up my interviews with her, I was reading the book Spent Matches by Roy Moran. Towards the end he has a section called “Ten Mind Shifts for Movements to Emerge.” I thought I would compare and contrast the two lists of mindset shifts.
| C Anderson on DMM Frontiers | Roy Moran in Spent Matches |
|---|---|
| * God Is At Work | |
| * God Will Do It | |
| * Enough for Fruit (We already have enough to see multiplication) | |
| * Prayer is Ministry | |
| * Ripe Harvest (There are people who are ripe for harvest everywhere.) | |
| * Organic Gospel Spread | |
| * Every Believer Involved | * From trusting the qualified to releasing the willing. |
| * Discipling Disciple-Makers | * From making disciples to making disciple-making disciples. |
| * Simple Training Works | |
| * Always Start Groups | * From individuals to groups |
| * God Loves All Cultures: There is not one "Christian way" to do things. | |
| * From human reproduction to viral replication (How we perceive disciples should reproduce). | |
| * From form to function (from planting churches to making disciple-making disciples | |
| * From conversion to making discilpes | |
| * From knowledge focused to obedience focused | |
| * From thinking like a marketer to thinking like a revolutionary | |
| From leading toward to leading from (ie: leading from the back of the room) | |
| * From being a content provider to being a learning designer |
Note: I kept the order of C. Anderson’s work (the same order in which I published the podcast episodes.) I don’t think either author intended them to be linear but I wanted you to know.
I actually thought that more of these would line up with each other, but I bolded the three that were nearly identical.
Have you noticed any themes in what you’ve been listening to or reading?
