How it will happen in the wilderness

Tempo
 

Jesus’ rhythm of labor and retreat
models a vital principle for us today,
that the right starting place for
ministering to others is rest, not busyness.

Trials 

 

Trials have a purpose, the wilderness is a special place for testing and
establishing character. Trials expose
unbelief and promote real belief.

Timing and Terrain
 

Modeling Jesus’ practice of teaching
his disciples truths within a wilderness
environment at the right time and
place. (Matthew 8:23-27; Mark
4:35-41)

Trust
 

Jesus’ identity and his people’s
identities were established on the
basis of unconditional trust in God
the Father. Just because there may
be a perceived risk in following
God, there is actually no actual risk
in following him

Training


Using intense decision-making
scenarios to draw out leaders in a group
