The club wanted to appoint a new manager and so explored a number of candidates.
One, in particular, did very well in the interview, so they wanted to take things further. The conversation turned to his backroom team and the candidate insisted that he wanted to take his team with him. It was a point of principle for him. His success was down to having his team with him, he may have got the plaudits in the public, but he always made sure his team knew that they were the reason. The club was not as keen to take on the backroom staff and negotiations came to a halt with both parties amicably agreeing to move on. The club appointed someone else to be the manager, meanwhile later on the candidate in question was able to land an even more promising opportunity along with his backroom team.
The way life is presented often sees relationships as the sort of means to help you. It’s a solo gig and the relationships are supports to help your solo career go well. Following Jesus does not support the solo career perspective. We will certainly have to give an account for our individual actions but those are done in relationship with those who make up the community. The kind of community that develops as interdependence grows and we recognise that we are a part of a team together functioning together to do great things together.
Who would be a part of your crew if you were considered to be part of a Kingdom project? Whose crew are you a part of and what does each part of the crew contribute?
For His Name’s Sake
