Session 1: A Shepherd for Every FlockFrom the first church(es) in Jerusalem and consistently emerging from each subsequent harvest field, recognizing elder/overseers in each field is a part of the work of mission (Titus 1:5-6). Paul carried greatly for this task. Paul often returned the venue of persecution to see that elders were appointed (Acts 14:23). What plans and patterns have you and your disciples made for leadership recognition in the midst of your church planting? How do your plans fit with the biblical example and/or expectation? Are we satisfied with the qualifications detailed in scripture? Are these qualifications sufficient? Why or why not?Session 2: Sent Ones Who Join the TaskThe task of mission is multiplied as “sent ones” take up the task of repeating the process of church planting. Developing and releasing such laborers does indeed find precedent in the pages of the NT. In today's study we consider the use of the word ‘apostle' beyond the 12 apostles qualified in Acts 1. As we acknowledge both the closed group of eye-witnesses to Christ's ministry and resurrection and the seemingly ongoing role of “sent-ones” across the Mediterranean world, how might the use of these terms challenge our thinking regarding leadership roles in the NT? Do you and your ministry anticipate and make provision for those called to “go”? How might the ongoing role and expectation for such calling inform our reading or re-reading of the NT?Watch the series on Youtube: youtube.com/@DiscoveringtheMissionaryTask
"We focus not only on what a project manager would think, but how we can give that project manager a wider-angle view that they'd have if they were a COO, CEO, or CFO, so that when they're making decisions closer to the business, they're doing it with the perspective that's outside of their point of view. Because, overall, I believe that forecasting as a team is going to change your business."

Welcome to this 1st episode in a new series called: “Plan and Succeed”.In the last few episodes, I’ve talked about some of the big issues around career and work life. Your visions. Your dreams. And your values. So, basically all about what fulfils you in your work and life.However, a very important element in succeeding with all of this is your ability to make your visions and dreams tangible. And take action on them. So, in this new series I’ll share some very simple, but very effective techniques for planning, creating overview and – maybe most importantly – prioritising your time, your attention and your resources. You can find the complete show notes for today’s episode at www.Barbarakandersen.com/17.What’s really important to understand here is that good habits and techniques around planning, will help you not only become more effective with your day-to-day work tasks. But also help you reach the bigger goals for your career and for your personal life. How does planning help?No matter our personality, our job function, our family status, we all benefit from some level of structure, overview and clear prioritization. In fact, your ability to plan and prioritise can be a key determining factor for creating and maintaining a happy UN Career. Your ability to plan and prioritise is critical in order for you to:succeed with your work projectshave a general peace of mind, knowing that you’re on top of your worksustain a balance between those work tasks that are urgent (of which we all seem to have too many)– and those tasks that are important, but don’t have a deadline (and are therefore often left on the back burner too long. Think for example: strategy, development, health, training, etc.)find time for planning and executing long term professional and career developmentand last, but not least, to create and maintain a balance between work and home lifePlanning is worth your time!A big eye opener for me was when I heard the quote from the American time management guru, David Allen, which says something like this: ”For every minute you use on planning, you save 10 minutes on execution!” When I heard that the first time, I thought: “Hmm, that sounds just too good to be true.” It actually seemed sort of counterintuitive to me, because it often felt like I had so much on, that I couldn’t possibly waste 5 minutes on planning. I just wanted to throw myself headfirst into the email inbox!But, in my own personal experience, it has proven true again and again – that, really, for every minute I use on planning I save more on the execution of the task or the project. It’s always more effective to get an overview and prioritise your time. And your resources. The better I think throughmy prioritiesmy planning and the most effective way to deal with a taskthe right order of action stepsthe amount of time I have available and the time I need for a taskThe more I do of all that – the better my day and my week flows. The more I get done. The more successful I am with my goals. And the happier I feel at the end of my workday.(And this is also what the people I help report back to me.)So, planning really is well worth your time!Read the full show notes at www.barbarakandersen.com/17

This interview will show you what working on a holistic context looks like and how you could do this for yourself, your family, or your permaculture project or enterprise. Scott Gallant and Sam Kenworthy from Porvenir Design in Central America have recently created a holistic context for their business. In this episode I review it with them and support them to evolve it further. Here you'll get a better feel for applying what we learned from Allan Savory in the previous episode on Permaculture and Holistic Management. The whole Holistic Context idea comes from Allan. If you are interested in this topic you might want to listen to my introduction to Holistic Decision Making in episode 40. You can also catch up on my prior conversation with Scott on the practical and professional realities of a more living design process in episode 41 and episode 42. In conjunction with this episode, I have also created an online course on Holistic Decision Making starting September 4th, 2020. This course will educate and resource participants to develop their own holistic contexts and start making decisions aligned with that context. Scott Gallant and Sam Kenworthy Setting a Focus for the conversation: The Task Cycle Framework After hearing a little something of Sam's backstory, I started by introducing the Task Cycle Framework to clarify our focus for the episode. I learned about this framework from Carol Sanford and the Regenesis folk. Among other things, this framework invites you think through: The taskThe purpose of the taskThe products that need to be produced to pursue that purposeThe processes that will generate those products In this case, the task was reviewing Porvenir Design's Holistic Context as a podcast episode. As for the task's purpose, what came up for me (and resonated for Scott and Sam) was: We are recording this interview to review your holistic context and potentially help you increase its depth, clarity and decision making power...…in a way that supports Porvenir design’s vitality, viability, and capacity to evolve…..so that you and your business are becoming an increasing potent agent of regeneration in Costa Rica and beyond. The main product was a tight, focused podcast episode that adds value to Porvenir design and to our listeners in terms of resourcing them to do this kind of work for themselves. Then the process we used was, after some scene setting, slowly working our way through the Porvenir context, reflecting on each bit for as long as we need. In addition to going through the task cycle, Dan brought a personal aim to the conversation of evoking reflection and sharing experience more than providing answers. Porvenir Design's Holistic Context Thanks to Scott and Sam for letting me reproduce the version of their context they have shared publicly in this blog post. A Holistic Context for an entity (such as a business) created for a specific reason comprises: a statement of purposequality of life statementswhat Savory calls forms of production and Dan calls enabling actionsa future resource base Porvenir Design's Statement of Purpose: Why was this entity created? Porvenir Design exists to help clients achieve their goals within the context of tropical land planning and management and to provide meaningful livelihood for its employees. Some snippets from our conversation about Porvenir Design's Statement of Purpose On a meaningful livelihood..."One of the things I sometimes struggle with, with the holistic context, in the (purpose) statement and everything that flows from it, is when are we making decisions to regenerate landscapes and all these things that get us super excited and that we love doing everyday. We also formed it to buy a little piece of land ourselves and have the highest quality of life that we can live, and so I always see those two things and wonder how the rest of our statements flow from there and if there is any tension.
