LK10 Apprenticeship: Week Eight (2)

The LK10 Apprenticeship can best be described as a small “community of practice” that creates a powerful learning environment. Several components come together to create this community. In the video below, Jim Mellon and Wade Adams reflect on the third component: being a “church of two” (CO2) on a daily basis. John

LK10 Apprenticeship: Week Eight (1)

We are continuing to pay close attention to what God is doing through the LK10 Apprenticeship. Eight weeks have been completed with four weeks to go. This last week I was in Killeen, TX for a LK10 Leadership Training Conference. I had the opportunity to interview two of the twelve people who have been in […]

What’s it like to be “coached”?

We are about to enter week eight of our twelve week LK10 Apprenticeship. There are several elements that go into making this a unique learning experience. One of the most important is coaching. Everyone in each cohort receives a coaching session every other week. I asked Sean Hyatt to reflect on what he has experienced […]

“Forging ahead with lights and sirens”

One of the Learning Assignments last week for the Apprenticeship was reading a quote from Brother Yun, the Chinese house church leader, on the importance of hearing God’s voice. Dean Cross, a battalion chief for a Fire Department in Sacramento, posted this great comment (see below) on Brother Yun’s quote in his cohort’s online discussion […]

Simon and Peter. James and John. Philip and Bartholomew. Thomas and Matthew. James and Thaddaeus. Simon and Judas. (must have been […]

Apprenticeship: Week Two (2)

I’m doing these posts about the Apprenticeship for two reasons. First, because it’s a way for each of the three cohorts to learn from each other. LK10 in general and the Apprenticeship in particular are “communities of practice”. Another term might be “learning communities”. We believe we as practitioners can learn a great deal from […]

“This new partnership of CO2”

Dean Cross is the Battalion Chief of the Folsom (CA) Fire Department and a member of Tim Pynes’ cohort in our LK10 Apprenticeship. Dean reported this wonderful CO2 story last week on the cohort discussion board. John Yesterday, My new CO2 partner Daniel and I had an amazing few hours together. Daniel came to my […]

Apprenticeship: Week Two (1)

One aspect of the Apprenticeship is that each cohort has an online discussion group. In this context, the members of the cohort interact with the learning assignments, ask questions and share what they are learning. I thought I would share with you some of the posts from this week. Very encouraging to see what God […]
