Imagine a car as a metaphor for a congregation. Place Vision, Relationships, Programs, and Management in this vehicle in the seat best suited for each to symbolize a faithful, effective, and innovative journey for a congregation.
Who would drive?
Who would navigate?
Where would Programs sit? Why?
Where would Management sit? Why?
What happens when Vision gets tired and needs to take a nap in the back seat? Who drives, then? What does Proverbs 29:18 say about this?
Where there is no vision, guess who drives? What happens then?
Each organizing principle must play out its appropriate role in its best seat in the vehicle for the journey to be excellent and transformational.
