HOW CAN WE RESTORE THE BALANCE?
Personal Development:
Head: meditation, memorization, study
Heart: prayer, fellowship
Hands: service, frugality, giving, fasting
HOW CAN WE RESTORE THE BALANCE?
Practical ways to engage heads, hearts & hands:
(Re)define worship

Have a checklist
Diversity
Get feedback

Heads:
Order thoughtfully

Response times
HOW CAN WE RESTORE THE BALANCE?
If I could give each tribe ONE challenge:
Thinkers: Spend less time planning and more time praying.
Feelers: Don’t follow your heart. Lead it with truth & action.
Activists: God will accomplish His purpose. It’s not up to us.
