#237. Sarah Goes to School: What's Your Genius? Teamwork in the Body of Christ

The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge from KFUO Radio

We’re back in class, ladies!

Once again, Sarah’s sharing study notes from her graduate courses at Concordia University Irvine’s Townsend Institute for Counseling and Leadership. In this insightful episode, she covers:

• How great teamwork skills relate to the Body of Christ
• Pat Lencioni’s Working Genius model for productivity
• How a productivity model applies to everything from marriage, to church council, to homeschool co-ops

"I think the most beautiful part about this is how Lencioni frames the [Working Genius] model,” Sarah says. “He specifically talks about the geniuses as the things God has gifted you to do, how He has wired you. I’ve talked about this before in several places, about recognizing the gifts God has given and not given to us, and using those gifts to the best of our abilities. This fits so beautifully with our description of the Body of Christ, that each of us in individually gifted with ways to serve each other within the unity of the Body. So this assessment gives us insight into how God has wired us so we can lean into the spaces that are our strengths, and uplift others in the spaces that are not our strengths but someone else’s strength.”
