Strategy: a plan of action designed to achieve a major or overall aim; forethought – careful consideration
Who thought outside of the box in the Bible:
Noah - Genesis 2 & 7
Moses - with the his father-in-law, Exodus 18
Jesus - John 3:16, Revelation 3:18
So I can see how help from strategy that comes from Godly wisdom:
- keeps me from getting worn out and burnt out
- allows me to pass along the message, to teach and train
- to be more efficient with the time and resources God gave me
- allows others to be more involved which will usually help with people becoming and staying connected with the task, ministry, etc.
So what has helped me get out of small “boxy” thinking , you might ask:
- Meditating on the fact that I am not stuck, not limited in Christ to my background, culture, what my parents said or society calls me 2 Corinthians 5:17
- Not letting the past define me (even the good)
- Writing 300 things I wanted to see in 2020, taking it seriously
- Having a 1 goal and working on that
- Sometimes when brainstorming, draw a box and put thoughts outside of it just to get warmed up
- Be around people with vision
o Doesn’t have to be exactly like yours
o Atmosphere for faith growing
