There is just nothing quite like “On the Job Training.” That’s what an Intern does. We covered most of this here, but let’s hit a couple of highlights.

We spend (in most cases) a year getting an intern ready. What is ready?

We want a Life Group leader to be able to:

know why we do what we do - hence why we are here.

spiritually feed themselves - hence the inner disciplines.

take someone else on that journey with them - hence the communal disciplines.

share their story of what God is doing in them - hence telling your story.

effectively communicate and lead others into an encounter with Jesus - hence how to lead a group and meetings.

release another leader who can do the same things - hence birthing.

Commissioning
We cover most of this in Ready to Birth and How To Birth Without Creatin Mass Chaos. The bottom line is that we birth leaders, not groups. So if the Intern has a hold of the skills AND the heart - we’re ready…and that is a thing to celebrate!!
