Capacity Building Principles

INFRASTRUCTURE

  • It’s costly up front (i.e. time, energy, money, patience, emotions, etc.)
  • No short term emotional rewards when building
  • Most people celebrate the finished or functional breakthroughs
  • Celebrate everything M.P.

YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE

  • If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing badly. H.W.
  • Don’t let the fear (aka twisted faith) in your life control or hinder you.

THE TENSION OF TWO TRUTHS

  • Freedom: Discover God’s boundaries for your life. Psalm 16:5-6
  • Truth: It’s the most equal opportunity employer out there… It’s the same for everyone.  Tension when choosing both/and vs either/or.

OPPORTUNITY COST

  • The cost of being in the baseball hall of fame is striking out. B.R.
