If I write with too much enthusiasm, please forgive me. But I am unabashedly excited about this tool.

It is called the Revitalizer Profile. It is the first step in the Revitalize Bundle, or it can be used as a standalone tool.

As we have coached pastors in revitalization for many years, the most successful path has been helping pastors discover their leadership strengths and learn to lead from those strengths. Too many pastors are told what they are doing wrong; with the Revitalizer Profile we work on celebrating how God has wired them positively.

It has been transformational!

Once pastors have taken this inventory, they are immediately provided their leadership personality. It helps them to know how to lead the church best. Here are the twelve different personalities, including the strength for each and a potential challenge.

• Instructor – leads revitalization best through teaching, the source of greatest ministry fulfillment. An instructor may be challenged to balance priorities and time.
• Thinker – loves to spend hours in study. Thinkers are best used for revitalization by devising and articulating biblical mandates to move forward. A thinker can be prone to neglect pastoral needs.
• Detailer – makes certain nothing falls through the cracks, a great need and strength for revitalization. Detailers must be cautious lest they fail to see the big picture.
• Visionary – has the God-given ability to see a future path for revitalization. Visionaries may struggle to be good listeners.
• Strategist…
