Nurturing the root creates healthy fruit

As we round out the “healthy church” series, we END with some of the things most leaders (wrongly, we think) begin with…

We start dialoguing about “what it looks like” when churches thrive.

Here’s why we don’t start here.

Focusing on fruit (i.e., the mechanics of how we do things) is a temporary measure. Fruit comes and goes— when tended to on its own.

Focusing on the roots, though, and insuring we grow a healthy tree insures the fruit continues coming.

Now, when we DO NOT see the fruit, it can be an indicator that we need to look at those roots (see Matthew 7:17-20)— in grace— and do some work.

But, the root precedes the fruit— not the other way around.
