I’m excited to begin facilitating my first Leadership Huddle next week! For 12-13 weeks I’ll “meet” together via technology, for an hour each week with a group of Christ followers, most of whom I’ve met through Twitter, Facebook or blogging. We’ll talk about what it means to be disciples and how we can model the life of Christ in our own lives. And we’ll be using the book, “Building a Discipling Culture” (affiliate link) to guide our conversations and study of Scripture.

This morning my excitement grew as I read Equipping Female Leaders by Jo Saxton on the Catalyst blog. Jo does a great job of explaining her experience in a mixed gender Leadership Huddle led by Mike Breen.

Ironically, when I began praying about my upcoming huddle, I initially thought it would be comprised of women only. God had other plans. So next week, I’ll begin facilitating my first Huddle with three men, and two-four women (two confirmed so far, awaiting final confirmation on remaining two).

I’m looking forward to all that God has in store in my life and in the lives of outstanding leaders from Lynchburg to Indiana to Texas – and as far away as Hungary!

What about you?
Has God ever changed your plans from what you thought to what He thought?
How has God brought folks together in your life via social media?
What are you doing to grow in your journey as a Christ follower?
And how is God using you to lead others?
