Expectations and Assumptions

What do you expect from those you lead?

I have been in some groups where it is evident that the leader does not expect much from the group. Many support groups fit this context when the leader views the participants as VICTIMS who need to be comforted and be assured that their experiences are "normal"

I have been in other groups that are truly inspiring when the leader believes that the current situation does not doom the future outcomes.

"The Ron Clark Story," "The Great Debaters," "October Sky," and "Freedom Writers" (language warning!) are just a few secular movies that I could recommend that will instill hope and motivation to what you do as a teacher/leader. If these students could accomplish human goals, HOW MUCH MORE are your students capable of great spiritual depth with the limitless power of God working in them?
