Who Should Lead the Church—Plumbers or Scholars?

This is a short and worthwhile read.

It is germane to disciplemaking... and seeing EVERYONE as a D3 Disciplemaker!

I encourage you to read and share this article, Who Should Lead the Church—Plumbers or Scholars by Don Miller.

Be sure to read comments by other readers... very interesting to see who likes this... and who doesn't... and why.

Cheering you on as you love God and love people, help others love God and love people, and help them help others to love God and love people... until all the world loves God and loves people.
