Hero makers come alongside others so they can be the hero in God’s unfolding story. Paul used hero making to build the early church. He celebrated the Thessalonians for spreading the gospel through Macedonia and into Achaia. They took the gospel farther than he did (1 Thess. 1:8).  

One tool Paul used to be a hero maker was vulnerability. He did not shy away from sharing his needs. He said he became like an infant to the Thessalonians (2:7). How do vulnerability and hero making go together?

A vulnerable hero maker embraces their limits for the common good. Heroes try to do everything. Hero makers know there are people who can do more than we are able.

Craig and Luke share 5 practices to cultivate vulnerability

1. Share weakness

2. Give away influence

3. Be more curious than closed

4. Lead from story not persona

5. Take a risk every day.
