“I believe that the old leadership paradigm has failed us and that our current systems will continue to unravel…If we are to resource our communities with new, life-affirming leadership, we need a very different model for how to educate and nourish leaders at a new level of scale.”
Once we understand prevenience, it becomes clear that our first goal, for ourselves and others, is to become “radical attention payers”. The skill set called “coaching ” gives us practical tools to do just that.
Coaching is one person helping another by asking meaningful questions and listening deeply with gentile curiosity.
A deep commitment to God’s prevenience leads to a central objective of the LK10 Community. We intend to train people at every level to be great “Radical Attention Payers”.
Prevenience is the conviction that God has been working diligently, redemptively, and strategically before I appeared on the scene, before I was aware there was something here for me to do.

Watch my interview with Jen in Thailand. (click on the picture) Two options here. First, you can simply enjoy Jen’s story and what God is doing through the Church 101 Course. Or, second, you can turn this into a much deeper learning opportunity by reading the six insights below into church and church planting and by watching the videos I reference. Ask the Lord which one He wants you do do.
Here is what I got out of my experience with Church 101: First, these two rhythms, checking in and listening to God are really simple. In some ways, really basic. But very critical and very powerful. Which means really easy to teach; a simple approach to doing something that anyone can do and teaching something that anyone can learn.
