discern /verb/: 1. to separate, to pull apart
Leadership is hard. Worse, it can also be confusing.
Church or organizational leadership can feel like trying to see the details of a mountain through the fog. You know the mountain is there, you can even see parts, but some things you would need to see to chart a path are obscured. So often it is hard to know just what to do. What do you pay attention to, adjust to, or let fly by you?
Whether it is the complexity of the situation you are facing, or just the sheer volume of the pieces, we would like to help with the confusion and frustration. We will help you to dis-cern, to pull apart the situations, to separate them out. Then we will partner with you to hear God’s voice in the midst of it.
Leading is hard, but confusion shouldn’t make it harder.
Discerning Partners wants to help.
