“We’re not short on passion in the church—we’re short on pathways.” That one line changed how I think about spiritual formation. Here’s what I’ve learned after helping leaders wrestle with that gap 👇 🔗 gomindthegap.com
Where are you seeing the biggest gap in your leadership environment right now? Not just strategy. Not just staffing. I’m talking about the space between your hopes… and what’s actually happening in your people. 🔁 Let’s talk 👇
“In a moment when almost every leader is aware of a crisis of discipleship, leadership expert Clint Grider offers a process for that very pain point." —Tod Bolsinger, author of Canoeing the Mountains Wrestling w/ the gap between intentions and impact? 🔗 gomindthegap.com
I didn’t plan to write a book. After years of hearing the same quiet confessions from leaders behind closed doors, I started jotting down patterns. Then, I realized: They were all pointing to the same pain point. 🔗 gomindthegap.com
When the awareness gap isn’t closed, people go unseen. When the connectivity gap is ignored, they stay stuck. This isn’t just a systems issue—it’s a people issue. You were called to shepherd, not just organize. Let’s build a system that reflects that.
1. Do your short-term events connect people to long-term habits? 2. Do those habits produce spiritual maturity? If your answer is “I’m not sure,” you’re not alone—but it’s time to get clarity. These two questions changed how I see ministry systems. They might change yours, too.
Without clear outcomes and awareness, even good leaders start leading from guesswork. And that’s a dangerous place to be—because we assume people are growing when we really don’t know. Let’s move from hopeful assumptions to confident clarity.
Highlighting stories of growth is powerful—until we assume they represent everyone. Most success stories come from those already engaged. But what about the quiet majority we don’t hear from? Let’s make sure we’re not confusing inspiration with evaluation.
Churches often track participation because it’s measurable. But just because people are busy doesn’t mean they’re being formed. When activity becomes the goal, we lose sight of the real mission: transformation. Let’s rethink what progress really looks like.
Most leaders know how some of their people are doing. But most? That’s where the awareness gap shows up. This gap isn’t about failure—it’s about the limits of our systems. And when you can’t see clearly, it’s easy to drift from your mission.
Today is the official launch of Mind the Gap. Would you join me in praying that God uses this to bring a fresh wave of agility and effectiveness to church and ministry leaders? Get your copy here: amazon.com/-/es/Clint-Gri…
