PASSION AND PERSONALITY

1. Passion Passion is an intense, God-given desire to give ourselves to a vision, a cause, or a ministry for an extended time. People tend to serve with their hands (doing), their hearts (feeling/sensing), or their heads (thinking). At Highlands, we want everyone serving in a ministry in which they are passionate.

Starter questions:

• What brings you the greatest sense of fulfillment?

• What do you most enjoy doing with your free time?

• What do you do well?

• What do you dream about doing that could make a difference in the world?

Ask: So, how passionate are you about this particular ministry? About leading in it?
