The Community Lens

I’ve heard several leadership and relationship coaches say that everyone needs a teacher, a student, and a friend in their lives. As Christians, we may say that we all need a Paul, a Timothy, and a Barnabas. We each need to be learning, teaching, and loving at all times. That’s how we grow. Now, I’m a natural teacher, so that part is no problem for me. And I love to read and sit with people who are further along in their journey than I am, so that part is easy. But I’ve already told you that I struggle with the social part of the Wheel of Life. If I’m not intentional about it, I’ll end up only spending time with my family and the people I work with.

Every Wednesday morning for the past fourteen years, unless I’m out of town, I sit at a conference room table at 7:00 a.m. with my twelve closest friends. We call it our Eagle’s Group. We spend an hour and a half talking, checking in with each other, studying Scripture, or reading a book together. Over the past fourteen years, I’ve shared everything with these men. They know me almost as well as my wife does. I get a lot of criticism and hate mail from strangers, and that doesn’t faze me a bit. But if one of those guys says something or corrects me, then it’s serious. That nearly carries the same weight as if Sharon said it. That’s accountability. They’ve invested in me and I’ve invested in them; they’ve earned the right to speak into my life. God works through that kind of community to guide, encourage, and correct us. If you want to grow as an individual, you need people like that in your life.
