When you participate in the Practicum you are making a decision for progress (growing and maturing).

What will you be practicing:

Slowing down and being quiet with the Lord: A thousand voices clamor for your time and attention. One voice is whispering an invitation, "Come away with me." Mark 6:31

Reflecting on your calling: taking time to review God’s calling for your life.

Accountability: inviting others to walk with us for a season providing support, prayer, encouragement and possibly feedback.

Focusing needed time on one (or two) areas of your life: taking the many things on our minds and hearts and elevating one life practice or issue to focus on for a season

Reviewing your past year and the year ahead: not a strategic plan, but rather, taking time each year with the Lord to reflect on our lives and ministry.

The Practicum is centered around you, as an individual. However, as stated in 1 Timothy 4:15, our growth and maturing as a leader directly impacts others. Those closest to us, family, friends and those we lead and serve, will be encouraged as they see our progress. We expect that the Lord will also encourage us as leaders as we watch the “progress” in the lives of all participants and our Practicum accountability partners.
