Because of those things God has used you as an instrument to grow His kingdom and for the spiritual maturity of many. LBC 1 and 2, Parkway, Bethany, and Living Grace all pray prayers of thanksgiving for you and for the next place God calls you to. I know I do….

]]> Comment on Kids on Mission Trips by AnneC http://shanegarrison.org/2010/03/11/kids-on-mission-trips/#comment-1752 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:34:57 +0000 http://shanegarrison.org/?p=1426#comment-1752 Our church has a family mission trip each summer. We work with a missionary in Guatemala that welcomes families to partner with him in his ministry. The difference about our family trip from other mission trips is that it is designed as a trip for kids with their parents (rather than a trip for adults that kids can go on.) It is a great application of Deuteronomy 6 . . . impress these things on your children . . . Kids serve along side their parents and participate fully in devotions, building relationships, leading services, and sharing the Gospel. It is incredible to see them playing with kids they’ve never met and speaking different languages.

Legalist.

First, it is airbrush, enough said. But more importantly, isn’t your anniversary still over a month away? I guess with gifts like this it is too much to ask to wait!

]]> Comment on The Christian College & the Military School by shanegarrison http://shanegarrison.org/2012/01/29/the-christian-college-the-military-school/#comment-1732 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:20:50 +0000 http://shanegarrison.org/?p=2504#comment-1732 Dale, I actually I believe morality, responsibility, honesty and dependability are taught in military schools, but rarely in major universities. My point was to illustrate the similiarities between the Christian college and the military school.

Thanks, SG

]]> Comment on Millennials in the Military by Dale Wilson - Author of Command Performance http://shanegarrison.org/2011/05/12/millennials-in-the-military/#comment-1730 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:07:13 +0000 http://shanegarrison.org/?p=2180#comment-1730 It wasn’t this generation that has begun the transformation of autocratic leadership. The military has realized, gradually over the last couple of decades, that kind of leadership style is somewhat archaic. I have a post discussing this very thing entitled, “Decision-Making in the New ‘Leadership Organization.’” I invite you to read it –> http://commandperformanceleadership.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/decision-making-in-the-new-leadership-organization/

It is becoming less top-down and hierarchical leadership structure. Think about the military, in total, as a leadership organization where you invite participatory involvement in decision-making; where people at every level, from the sides and the bottom, have a voice and a view, and are permitted and encouraged to provide feedback. If you delegate more, if there is more distributed decision-making, then you see an organization that is a ‘leader organization.’ That is exactly what is happening in today’s military.

Granted, it does help that this generation does need that kind of approach. So, your premise is correct, but not the primary reason for the changes.
