Core, Capacity, and Context

Is there a question that ultimately is the one that sends "Seasoned Believers" off into this pursuit? Is there some burning passion or a cause that begins the process?

It's a great question and the word "process," needs to be noted. This is a journey. It is a process. It is a lot more than a point-in-time statement or idea. Regardless of how we get at it, we need to focus on three simple words –
core, capacity and context.

When we speak of core, we're trying to help "Seasoned Believers" really come to grips with how God has wired them, what their God-given gifts and abilities are, what their strengths are, what's at the core?

Capacity refers more to margin – time margin for giving themselves away. You may ask , "What about the guy who is working or the woman who is working?"

All of that comes into play to determine what kind of time margin each would have for leveraging who they are in other areas.

That's what context is all about – best fit, serving opportunity, one that aligns with what God has wired them to do, so that's really what we're trying to get at.
