seeking new membersDevotion– One Body • 1 Corinthians 12 - Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
Devotion– One Body • All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.
Individual Development
Talents: a special natural ability or aptitude or a
recurring pattern of thought, feeling or behavior
that can be productively applied.
• Woo – natural talent is to meet people
Strengths: consistent near perfect performance in
an activity.
• Woo – using the meeting of people to
network and connect people - strengthTeam Effectiveness •Individuals should be edgy, the Team well- rounded – everyone is a different piece in the puzzle to complete the picture •StrengthsFinder provides the opportunity to better understand the others you work and live with so that you can work and live together more effectively in God’s kingdom

StrengthsFinder Overview • Unique--millions of combinations • Chances of someone having your same top 5 strengths = 1/300,000 • In the same order = 1/11,400,000 • God made us uniquely • Positive Psychology • Focus on building your strengths, not your weaknesses
StrengthsFinder Overview • 80% Nature, 20% Nurture • Strengths don’t change—become who you already are • Top 5 vs. 34 • Top 5 = 80% of what you do naturally • But—another 20%, so probably a #6, 7, or 8 is in play
Strengths are only part of all the factors of performance
Focus on Strengths,
Fatal Flaws Strengths neutralize Weaknesses
Must be dealt with
Spiritual, Emotional,
Physical Health
Virtues/Fruits of the Spirit
Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, Temperance,
Faith, Hope, Love
Values
Redeemed child of God using all our gifts to serve HimApplication
Journey to Strength • Talents--need to become strengths, journey to strength • Strengths = talent + skill + knowledge X experience • Focus on building and leveraging strengths
Strengths For Others
(Servant Leadership)
• SFO—Strengths For Others
• It is only a strength when it
is “other” focused
• Jesus came to serve and
not to be servedRecognizing Strengths in Others Even if you don’t have someone’s top five, you can begin to analyze . . . 1. Are they naturally drawn to the activity? 2. What comes naturally to them, that also sets them apart in performance? 3. Is it in their "flow?" (They did it well without even knowing it) 4. Does it satisfy them deeply? 5. Does it typically bring results?
Application
Power and Strength
Less power (effort) is
required to produce
more power with your 100%
top strengths….and
vice versa…it takes
Power
10%-20% effort to get
80%-90% results when
working from 0%
strengths…just the 1
Strengths
34
opposite when not
working from
strengths…“How” NOT “What” . . . • Vitally important – strengths do not determine what we do, but how we will do it • No top 5 strengths are better or worse or make a better leader, teacher, student, friend, son, daughter, etc... they just tell us how we will do those roles..

Strengths Organization Descriptors • Interpersonal = these strengths deal with the human touch, able to work with people and understand people, strengths in this area will always be looking for the human touch • Lifestyle = these strengths are more flavoring in nature, they influence, “flavor” the other strengths and the use thereof, example – positivity will influence all other strengths to always be looking at the “glass as half full” – these strengths combine with others to inform decisions and actions taken • Wild Cards = these strengths have no downside; however, for them to be used fully they must be partnered with other strengths, to learn for the sake of learning or communicate for the sake of communicating is not a use of strengths for others (SFO), when partnered with other strengths or learning new strengths for the team then full capacity is realized
Strengths Organization Descriptors • Problem Identification = the strength to see the “true” problem, sight that can see problems coming or problems being experienced, ability to cut right through the issues to the heart of the problem at hand and not the ancillary issues that might cloud true identification • Problem Solving = the strength to solve problems and issues that exist, able to see the steps needed and intricate details that would go into a solution or plan to address any problem that might exist
How Strengths Organization Catgories Work Together
• People with Problem Identification strengths will determine the core
problem/issue.
• They will then partner-up on the issue with people with Problem Solving strengths
who put the 3-step solution on paper or out in front of the team.
• They (Problem Solvers) will then partner-up on the solution with and those having
Traction strengths who will get the solution started.
• They will then partner-up with people with Driving strengths who will make sure
the solution gets finished.
• The Seeing strength individuals will provide sight to make sure the solution is in
line with mission, core values, long-term vision, the right priority, etc.
• Those with Interpersonal strengths will make sure the solution is being worked
with the people and bringing other people along; they will not allow people to be
left behind or move too far ahead – they will engage the people on the team.
• People with Lifestyle strengths will ensure all is done positively, with harmony, is
aligned with core values (Belief), etc. . . .
• People with Wild Card strengths enhance every strength, every area, and the
entire process.Strengths Organization Working Together --
Conclusion
In the end all 8 categories are used and
the team is utilizing all of its pieces
(people), all of its strengths, to build
towards full unity of
students/class/team/school/church
serving together to accomplish the
mission of your God-ordained ministry.Strengths Organization
