  5. YES! Pay attention to the hot spots!

  6. Pg. 8 What are the top 3 hot spots for leaders to notice in your congregation right now?

  7. Pg. 8 Turn and Talk Name Your Hot Spots

  8. If you measure the miles, you miss the moments.

  9. The Point: bucks and bodies are not the best metrics for a spiritual community any more than the Camino is about distance.

  10. Shifting the metrics is key to the future of being church.

  11. It’s the difference between lag and lead metrics.

  12. A lagmeasure is something that has already happened by the time you get the data. By this point there is nothing you can do to change the outcome.

  13. Leadmeasures are the indicators that leaders strategically set with the potential for changing the lag metric.

  14. Examples of a lagmeasure: At Church… How many people are here? How much money did people give? At Home… What is my report card grade? How many books did I read this year? How often is my house clean? How much do I weigh?

  15. Examples of leadmeasures to SHIFT the lag metric: At Church… Are you praying more often at home? At work? Are you inviting friends, neighbors and coworkers to share a meal with you more often?

  16. Examples of leadmeasures to SHIFT the lag metric: At Home… Am I studying? Going to class? How much time do I commit to reading? What is each person doing to help? What time will I walk today?

  17. Turn and Talk (pg.9)

  19. Set your faithful metrics: Imagine more (or less) of lead metrics=> lag metric Hot spot - Back door is open Options depend on your observations Small groups=> deeper relationships Leadership access=> ownership Engaging worship=> inspired faith

  20. Pick a hot spot to observe. • Who will you listen to? • Who can go with you to the balcony for deeper observation?

  21. Interpret what you have learned. • What are the themes? • What is not being said? • Who else shares these concerns? • What grief will be felt?

  22. Test with an experiment. • What will you try? • How can you involve stakeholders? • What is the lag metric you want to shift?
