I met scores of state and association leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention this week. We had over 30 states working on their vision in the next 2 years. One leader that impressed me is Robert Turner, Director of Collegiate Ministries for the Baptist Convention of Pennsylvania and South Jersey. He and his team developed these questions.As you look at them, I would encourage you to pick 4-6 that offer a new perspective or unique angle on your typical approach. I highlighted my favorite six.
