Developing a Growth Mindset in Ministry (Part 2): Making a Growth PlanIn my previous article, I shared a vision for pursuing professional growth in your ministry role. While we still trust the results of our work to God–he’s the one who changes hearts and changes lives–we partner with him in pursuing a growing competency in our ministry context and skillset. The big idea behind this is to personally develop a growth mindset, believing that you can cultivate your talents as well as your gaps by engaging in learning opportunities and focusing on the process behind your desired growth.

Developing a Growth Mindset in Ministry (Part 1): Growth MattersIn this article, I want to explore a vision for proactively pursuing personal and professional growth in your ministry competency. My hope is to help you think about developing a growth mindset, so that you will not simply serve out of where you most naturally feel gifted and wait for experience alone to make you better at your job. In a follow-up article, I will help you think through the basics of how to develop a growth plan, shifting your thinking to positively approaching ministry as a “job.”
