As we step into this new season at New Day, I want to invite you into something that’s going to shape not just how we work, but how we lead.
A lot of us, myself included at times, can drift into thinking like this:
“I don’t have enough time.”
“I’m just trying to keep things running.”
“I don’t feel equipped to develop others.”
“I’m not even sure where to start.”
“I’ve already got too much on my plate.”
“Honestly… I can just do it faster myself.”
If you’ve ever thought one of those, you’re human!
And chances are, many of the people around you are feeling it too.
But here’s what I’m learning, and what I want us to grow into together:
What if this whole idea of development is actually simpler and more natural than we think?
It’s not about adding a bunch of extra work to your plate.
It’s about making small, intentional shifts in how you lead every day.
It looks like inviting someone into what you’re already doing instead of doing it alone.
Letting someone else take a step, even if it’s not perfect yet.
Coaching instead of controlling.
Slowing down just enough to bring someone with you.
At New Day, we don’t just want to build ministries, we want to build people.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about what we accomplish, it’s about who we develop.
Here’s the honest reality:
If we don’t develop others, our impact stops with us.
But if we do: Our leadership multiplies. Our influence reaches further than we ever could alone. And what God is doing here continues, not just through us, but through the people we raise up across every New Day location now and in the future. Isn’t the EXCITING!
So as we step into this leadership pipeline together, here are three things I want you to hold onto
- Legacy is intentional
We don’t accidentally multiply leaders. We choose it again and again in how we lead people. - Development beats addition
Adding people helps us get through today.
Developing people builds something that lasts beyond us.
- Multiplication is the goal
Real success isn’t just doing more, it’s raising up leaders who raise up leaders who raise up leaders.
We’re not asking you to be perfect at this.
We’re asking you to start looking for one person you can bring along with you.
That’s where multiplication begins.
Discussion Questions
- Who is one person you could start intentionally investing in right now, and what’s one simple way you could bring them along this week?
- Which of the “doer” mindsets do you find yourself drifting toward most often, and what would it look like to shift that into a multiplying mindset?
