How do we read resistance?

Does time under tension make you stronger? Is it just a bad idea to stay in a tough situation sometimes? We talk about conventional wisdom like "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and how we, as leaders, should be careful when we give advice.
In This Episode: 
  • We're gonna talk about resistance. 
  • We're gonna talk about what does that mean for us personally?
  • What does that mean for people who are in leadership? 
  • How do we gauge resistance? How do we read resistance? And then how do we respond to resistance?
  • When it comes to facing resistance it seems like whoever's around us at the time, or even just the season we're in personally dictates how we respond to it.
  • Drew shares a story about launching a new contemporary service at a church and the resistance they faced.
  • Was the resistance to a new service strong? "Somebody had broken into my office and on my whiteboard right in front of my desk written LEAVE. You're the devil, leave."
  • So did a lot of good come from it? Absolutely. Do I think time under tension grew my leadership in that season? I would argue it made me more jaded. 
  • Time under tension equals growth is accurate, iff it's a healthy amount of tension.
