Presentations

Covenant Discipleship PowerPoint

The United Methodist Church has inherited a powerful heritage of discipleship from the traditions of John Wesley.

By organizing discipleship practices around personal and public piety and acts of justice and compassion, a well-rounded path of discipleship begins to emerge. Add to that the strength of covenant group, and you begin to see deeper discipleship patterns developing.

 

Leadership

Developing leaders within the local congregation can be difficult. This presentation is taken from the Local Pastors’ Licensing School for the Memphis Annual Conference. Material covered includes Adam Hamilton’s leadership premise and  team concepts loosely based on the training from Spiritual Leadership Incorporated.

 

Piety

What is Piety in the Wesleyan tradition? It hinges on Sacramental understanding of God’s interaction with us. Our lives are a response to God, and our piety is not a key in a lock, but a sail in the wind of God’s Spirit.

Excerpts from the writings of St. Teresa of Avila, the Rule of Benedict, Scot McKnight’s “Fasting,” and other sources.

Initially presented to the Paducah and Paris Districts, Memphis Conference for the Generative Leadership Academy.
