The exploration of incarnational work and life will revolutionize the minister’s ability to deeply connect with the students on the most sincere, and sacred, of levels. Go to the students. Be with the students. Stay with the students. This isn’t a 9-5 job anymore. In fact, it never should have been in the first place. Noted youth ministry leader and blogger, Adam McLane, suggests that impact is directly proportionate to the amount of time you don’t spend in your office (http://adammclane.com/2009/03/13/a-dare-for-pastors/).

So I don't have any case studies for it... call it an experiment. I heard of a couple churches who tried it in one way or another… but they never reported back to me anything.

I'm finding this one late (from the link in Wednesday's post), and I'm interested in sending it along to a ministerial association. I think it might gain more traction with this group if I could give some information on how it has gone for others (not a lot of early adapters in this group). Jon Adam,

I wonder just how much you will be able to experience. Some of the jobs may not let an individual visit the assembly line for a half day let alone an hour or two. I think that most of the jobs that a person would visit would be more on the line of an office or some environment like that. While I have visited members at their work, it tends to be as a potential distraction from their boss or supervisor. When you are there they are not really on their "game plan" because you are there sitting looking at them and asking questions. I would say stop in for a visit and a brief tour of the work place but to spend an half day would be a bit too much. I have visited members in their work place and it have paid off in relationships being strengthened.

Let me know when you get takers because I'm happy to celebrate their success and pray for them as they go through it. I got some interesting comments over on Todd Rhoades blog about this. Let's just say it didn't go over so well with Sr. Leaders. http://mondaymorninginsight.com/index.php/site/comments/a_dare_for_pastors/ I know of a couple of churches who are talking about it and that rocks! Tony Myles said he is game, so that's one church. I think this will make churches, preachers, and pastors better at what they do. But as you can see from the comments on Todd's blog... it's rubbing some of them the wrong way. Andy, feel free to use this dare for pastors.

That is the greatest thing I've EVER heard. Can you give me the 'ok' to spread your idea to every church I speak to (and yes, I'll totally give you credit!!). Powerful stuff Adam.
