making”

disciples.

humayo
kayo
at

Ministry
Example:
SERMON
• One
tool:
the
monologue
sermon
• No
participation
by
the
audience
congregation
• Sermons
have
little
or
no
impact
(Ano
ba’ng
sermon
last
week?
2
weeks
ago?)
• Preaching
is
a
tool
• Are
there
better
ways
of
communicating
God’s
truth?
• Subukan
mo:
Wag
mag-preach
sa
Sunday.
Ano
kaya
ang
mangyayari?
Ano
ba’ng
pwedeng
gawin
na
iba?
Example:
BUILDING
• “We
shape
our
buildings
then
our
buildings
shape
us”
• No
art
or
symbols
• Rows
of
seats
facing
a
stage
• Lights,
sounds,
etc.
• Who
is
active?

2. • Who
is
inactive?
• Building
is
just
a
tool
Example:
SEMINARY
• 85%
of
Filipino
pastors
haven’t
formally
studied
• Is
this
bad
or
good?
• One
expert
passing
on
information
• All
chairs
face
the
front
• Without
seminary
(or
Bible
School)
training
we
feel
inadequate
• Seminary
is
just
a
tool
• SEATS
tries
to
be
different

Rider
Elephant
Path
Direct
the
Rider
(Rational
Side)
• What
looks
like
resistance
is
often
a
lack
of
clarity.
So
provide
crystal
clear
direction.
o Follow
bright
spots
o Direct
the
rider
o Suggest
ways
to
start
behaving
today
• (Think
from
“Eat
Healthier”
to
“Buy
1%
milk.”)
[BELLS]
Motivate
the
Elephant
(Emotional
Side)
• What
looks
like
laziness
is
often
exhaustion.
• The
Rider
can’t
get
his
way
by
force
for
very
long.
• So
it
critical
that
you
engage
people’s
emotional
side
–
get
their
elephants
on
the
path
&
cooperative.
o SEED
lockbox
• (Think
“we
are
paying
to
much
for
stuff”
to
“see
all
these
different
gloves
we
are
buying?”)
• Get
people
involved
by
modeling
to
them

3.
Shape
the
Path
• What
looks
like
a
people
problem
is
often
a
situation
problem.
• Simply
altering
the
environment
influences
the
way
people
behave,
irrespective
of
their
Rider
&
Elephant.
• (Think
the
size
of
movie
popcorn
buckets.)
