Connect Team Conversations

11: Introducing the 60/40 with Will Fallaw and Lauren Rowland

Listen Later

Back in July of 2019, when COVID began to be more challenging for us all, several of us began to ask ourselves, "how do we help volunteers think of their role as a function of discipleship and not just parking cars, waving at people, and helping people find a seat?"

We put some language together and ultimately started introducing this to our Campus Connect Team Leads with the hope that we could focus on successfully accomplishing the mission (making disciples) and our ministry (Connect/Safety Team). We called it the 60/40.

In this interview, Chris Rivers speaks with Will Fallaw and Lauren Rowland who serve on the Connect Team at Grace Church's Travelers Rest Campus. They recently hosted a training with their team to discuss the 60/40 and how to implement it.

Here’s a suggestion on how to kick off the 60/40 with your volunteer team.

  1. Share the interview with your volunteers and staff. 
    1. Ask your team to take a week or two to listen to the content and come up with 1 or 2 ideas that could help advance the growth of discipleship within your team members. Give them enough time to listen to this conversation and come up with ideas. Then
    2. Meet together as a team and brainstorm some of the following questions:
      1. What did you like best about the principles outlined in the 60/40?
      2. What does our team think about discipleship? (new leaders vs. seasoned leaders, are there evident gaps or needs for equipping around certain topics?)
      3. What content from the podcast might be most helpful for our volunteers?
      4. How should we adapt and roll out this content in our context? (I.e. huddles or a big training?)

        5. If you have questions, need help with implementation, or just want us to discuss a topic on the podcast, please email us at [email protected].
